Hearing Hamill sing the Buddi song is my new favorite theme, because how often are we ever going to hear Luke Skywalker sing strangely threatening nursery rhymes? Child’s Play is unapologetically funny, most of it intentional, and forces the audience to let their guard down. Watching Andy teach Chucky how to make a scary face is a delight, and seeing Chucky employ that face is even better. Chucky will make you laugh as much as he will make you scream. Throughout the first half, Hamill toys with our heartstrings with a performance that manages to separate himself from the legendary Brad Dourif. Aubrey Plaza turns in a wonderful as always performance as a young, struggling single parent who allows Andy to be more on her level, Bateman is sweet and endearing, and Hamill absolutely kills it as Chucky. As Chucky consistently asks Andy, “Are we having fun yet?”, and you bet your ass we are. But this new version is the sort of film that makes you smile before literally ripping your face off, as happens to one unfortunate character later on. And before you go nuts, calm down, the original is one of my favorite movies of all time. What I’m getting at here, is that the new Child’s Play has a heart that the original didn’t. This is not your ugly, creepy Chucky doll from the 80s. There are even moments where my entire theater uttered “awe” at some of the sweeter, more comical moments with Chucky. Buddi is as real of a friend as an AI can get. In fact, if I had my own Buddi doll, it might come close to replacing my dog. So when Andy is given a Buddi doll which is “defective” like himself (Andy has a hearing aid), their growing bond is believable and charming. We get the idea that Andy has never been good at making friends, as his single mother, Karen ( Aubrey Plaza), is insistent he at least try this time around in their new place. By introducing an older, lonely Andy, the bond he forms with Chucky in the beginning is much more heartwarming, and ultimately, tragic. Andy loves his new doll, Chucky, at first, but soon, Chucky takes the idea of friendship a little too far, deciding that no one can be friends with Andy but him.Īs you can already tell, the scenario here is quite a bit different from the original Child’s Play. After a somewhat goofy set-up for our evil Buddi doll (voiced by Mark Hamill), a new toy with an advanced AI that can connect to other Kaslan products, we find the doll in the hands of Andy ( Gabriel Bateman), a 13-year old kid without any friends. In this new Child’s Play, directed by Lars Klevberg ( Polaroid) and written by Tyler Burton Smith, we’re introduced to the Kaslan company, an Apple-esque conglomerate that produces loads of smart-home devices, such as TVs, phones, and, of course, toys. Which is exactly what a remake should be.
