Apparently Chucky and his equally murderous bride, Tiffany (voiced by Jennifer Tilly), had a child, which has grown up in a cage as part of a heavy-metal ventriloquist act in England. Eventually it (one never learns its exact gender) escapes to Los Angeles to revive mom and pop, whose doll corpses are being used for a movie based on their previous killing spree. Jennifer Tilly shows up as herself, and she's great--hamming it up as a floozy actress so desperate for the part in rapper Redman's latest film that she lures him home for a casting couch tryst, with hilarious (and fatal) results. Meanwhile, the child of Chucky is horrified by the violent murders its parents are so fond of committing and, with a little help from a 12-step book, tries to help them kick the homicide habit. Of course it's hard when there are so many deserving targets around, including John Waters as a scuzzy paparazzi. In sum, this is one crazy sequel; it's got a refreshing lack of morals, a light heart, and a clever script with a lot of great insider jokes for buffs. The gore is extreme though, including eviscerations, beheadings, melting flesh, and other raunchy business that makes its R rating well-earned (no true Chucky fan would have it any other way, of course). Rappers Eminem and Big Pun contributed tracks to the score. [More]

Reviews for Seed of Chucky
Seed of Chucky is so self-referential that despite some inspired madness, it’s less a movie than a celebration of its own snarkiness.
This 90-minute lobotomy scores a few giggles, but only enough to recommend it to friends you never want to speak to again.
Installment No. 5 in the once-moribund Child's Play franchise isn't quite the roller coaster from hell that the series' last outing was, but it’s surely the most engaging, and, dare I say, emotionally honest.
The film is about as good as could be expected, considering it's the fifth installment and its premise is absurd.
The grisly Seed Of Chucky fails to entertain on any level. Chucky and his family should take a permanent vacation.
Those who bemoaned Freddy Krueger's descent into one-liner hucksterism will find themselves perpetually annoyed at the lame-duck comedy material offered here.
There comes a time when toys should be put away for good. Chucky passed that time long ago.
The gore -- severed limbs, heads, testicles; you know, the usual stuff -- is kept in humorous overabundance.
