I concur. It's great in the childhood trauma department, but when you're an adult, it doesn't really cut it. It uses child endangerment to transgress, but there's nothing all that transgressive about the rest of the movie. It's a yawn. Not only is it a yawn, but it's also a preachy yawn. It kind of drives home concerns of child neglect in the materialistic eighties with less than a velvet glove and also goes back to the "listen to your kids" message of so many other movies. It's very ho hum, kinda declassé and not very well acted. I bought it...for a dollar, and that's about what a person should pay for the kind of moviegoing experience it provides. That said, I love Bride of Chucky. It's campy, clever, fun, sorta sexy, actually transgressive and it taught an old dog new tricks.
