Seed of Chucky

Seed of Chucky, like all the Chucky movies really, is a horror movie that has more comedy than horror, but the comedy is really good.

I have to admit that I've only seen the three Child's Play movies, but I've never seen Bride of Chucky, and I now I really regret that cause in that one is when we were introduced to Tiffany, Chucky's bride, and she's awesome.
Anyway, in this movie, Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif who played Wormtongue in LotR) and Tiffany (voice by Jennifer Tilly) find themselves with the news that they have a child after he saw them during the filming of 'Chucky Goes Psycho', a Chucky movie that Hollywood's is making starring Jennifer Tilly herself.
So their child, after seeing them on TV, and noticing that they had the same mark in their wrists than he/she (I'll get into that later) had, a "Made in Japan" sign, decides to fly to America from his native god knows why England where he was a circus freak, and go meet his/her parents.

So why the duality in the child? Just cause we don't know what 'it' is, and neither do Chucky and Tiffany, cause it doesn't have any genitals since he's still a doll, so Chucky decides to call him Glenn, and Tiffany decides to call her Glenda (a nod to Ed Wood's 1953 movie Glen or Glenda).
Glen/Glenda, voiced by Billy Boyd, also of LotR fame (he played the Hobbit Pippin), has a little problem with his/her parents, as he/she doesn't like the whole killing people stuff his/her parents love so much, specially Chucky.

So what happens is that Chucky and Tiffany want another child, so they can have the boy and the girl, and they decide that Chucky should impregnate Jennifer Tilly.
Jennifer has a little story of her own too, as she's trying to convince movie producer/director/rapper Redman (he's the least funny in the whole movie) to cast her as the Virgin Mary in his next movie, and how is she going to convince him? By sleeping with his of course, after all, that's how Julia Roberts got the Erin Brockovich part, Tilly says.
Jennifer Tilly is extremely funny, specially cause she's fun of herself, and she's great.

So the story continues, and so I don't give up anything else, I'll just say that the comedy is really strong, and really not suitable for kids, in theory, cause I think that kids would find it funny even though there's lots of sex jokes, and it's very fun.
