“Seed of Chucky” is one of the best ones in the series.
**SPOILERS**
Glen/Glenda, (Billy Boyd) Chucky, (Brad Dourif) and Tiffany’s, (Jennifer Tilly) child, discovers that a movie is being made on his parents in Hollywood. Reviving them, they quickly go about their old ways, much to Glen/Glenda’s chagrin. Chucky and Tiffany decide that they should out away the weapons, especially when they meet up with Jennifer Tilly, (Jennifer Tilly) working on the Chucky and Tiffany movie. Jennifer is angling to get into a new movie with the director, Redman, (Redman) and Chucky and Tiffany find the perfect bodies for their souls. As the deaths pile up, Tiffany is desperate even more to get rid of her slasher habits, which Chucky isn’t too fond of. He eventually results to increasingly desperate measures to keep his fractured family together.
The Good News: This is probably the most out-right comedic movie of the series, and is pretty hilarious in most aspects of the film. The early bickering done between Chucky and Tiffany about family life is some truly great lines, and a later exchange gives some real gut-busters. Even other instances are pretty funny. I don’t want to spoil them, but it has it’s fair share of gags that are both really funny and pretty creative. The storyline here is one of it’s most appealing parts, which is pretty clever and new. It isn’t a typical outline for a film’s fourth sequel, and it serves as a double blessing by not following the norm and giving us a traditional film, and also by the different elements that can be added to the plot. The comedy is one, but there’s a lot more that have been added to it. Several of the storylines are quite good. The wanting to get off murder is nicely handled, and the weaning for killing delivers some of the movie’s best scenes. An impressive opening is just about the only time we get suspense in the film, and it is some really juicy stuff. The stalking and the extremely odd camera angles add to it’s effectiveness, and the pay-off to each of the sequences are nicely timed to get a great jump. The best part of this film, though, is undoubtedly Jennifer Tilly. The amount of abuse she goes though in this film is really phenomenal, and she manages to pull it off quite capably. You always end up feeling for her situation, no matter what she was doing, and that is a real accomplishment.
The Bad News: By veering far off into the comedy angle, this has left the horror category completely. There is nothing here that would produce any sort of thrills or spills, beyond the opening scene, but after that, there’s nothing. Suspense is also gone, leaving us with no real chances to become scared at what is going on. We really weren’t supposed to, but as it’s still trying to be a horror film, an attempt could’ve been made. The film is also tremendously cheesy, packed to the brim with sleazy goodness. From the characters to the actions and even set-ups reek of cheese, and that may be something which won’t sit all that well with fans of the more serious original.
The Final Verdict: This is one of the better films in the series, surpassed only by Bride. It’s a funny take on the film, and yet still provides all the necessary shocks and blood as we have come to expect in this series. Highly recommended to all Chucky fans, as well as those that want a little extra blood in their comedy.
Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief doll and female Nudity and brief doll masturbation

5/5. Although consider this movie seperate from the first three, that doesn't stop it from being fantastic. Chuckie still isn't scary BUT this movie is absolutley hilarious. The gore is twice as good as in "Bride", the laughs are much funnier and the introduction of Glenn makes things even better. Although I prefered Chuckie before he became comic, this movie is so funny, it doesn't matter. What makes it so great?
* The dolls having family arguments
*the gore
*the laughs
*the ending
MUCH better than "Bride".

It's good, but I gotta go with Bride because it manages to be a comic film and a horror film at once, and does it expertly. This one's funny but doesn't get any scares, and anytime you can mix two different areas well is a big plus.

Entertaining but not as sharp as Bride. Tilly is awesome though.

This one was absolute garbage IMO, I have a hard time swallowing horror comedy and Bride was pushing ,y limits as it was and then they released this one. I mean a horror movie about the gender confused offspring of possessed dolls, c'mon.

I don't really care about the premise, just make me laugh (if that's the point) and I'll buy into it. That's all I need.

Definitely my least favourite of the series thus far. I can see why they have gone in a different direction for the next part. I was impressed when young Joan got barbecued by Glen though Never saw that coming.

I was impressed when young Joan got barbecued by Glen though Never saw that coming. Totally with you on this, as the fact that that sequence isn't played for laughs and has a sinister, mean streak to it is what got me. It feels a little out of place with the cheesy tone and quality of the rest of the movie, coming the closest to mimicking what I loved about Bride so much, the effective meshing of the laughs and the horror. Still, not enough to really raise it all that much. And you can never go wrong with big boobs. Needed more, actually.

Big boobs are definitely not a negative. If you doubt it, watch Bound with Jennifer Tilly and Geena Gershon (one of the sexiest movies ever). This is a very mediocre movie, and definitely the worst in the series thus far, but I have to say that all things considered it was still kinda fun. Compared to other series that have gone on this long, this one still has a few things to offer.
Anyway, it gets a three because its alright. I've seen it more than once (so it isn't too bad at all) but I have no desire to own it (so it is far from great).
