Mannequin
Mannequin is notionally a romantic comedy in which Andrew McCarthy plays a luckless department-store employee and Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City) is an Egyptian princess reincarnated as a shop-window dummy, who comes to life when she encounters McCarthy, only to revert to mannequin status when anyone else is watching her. With her encouragement, he becomes emboldened in his career as a window decorator as well as falling in love with the princess. James Spader's oily, stammering executive is just one of the many examples of a film that tries way too hard to be funny, the sort of characterization that would be barely adequate for a TV commercial, let alone a 90-minute movie. Still, for fans of Sex and the City who might want to feast upon the spectacle of a younger Kim Cattrall, Mannequin might offer a measure of relief. --David Stubbs Mannequin 2: On the Move
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you... The lyrics to "Young at Heart" could be the theme song for this, well, enchanting 1991 light teen comedy, a sequel to Mannequin. Kim Cattrall was the store window statue-come-to-life of the first film, and Kristy Swanson, pre-Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and is a natural for this sweet fable of a handsome prince breaking a centuries-old spell that trapped our sweet heroine in plastic. Fans of the more recent Enchanted will find much to like in the story of Jessie (Swanson) who, was cursed back in the old country to be a statue. Then department store employee Jason (William Ragsdale) removes the necklace from the mannequin that had cemented the curse, bringing Jessie back to life in a whole new world, which includes Meshach Taylor, reprising his role from the first film as reliable comic relief. Swanson is charming as the dewy-eyed princess, taking in the modern world alongside her true love, who's adorably bewildered--while slowly, just like audiences, becoming enchanted himself. --A.T. Hurley

Forrest G. Booth (St.Louis, Mo USA)
I loved watching it when I was young. Getting the dvd again especially with the second movie is awesome. I loved the song by Starship. I am happy that they included it in the second movie made all the more meaningful.
Creative and fun movie which will cheer your heart up May 23, 2009
Sunshine (Monrovia, CA USA)
I watched both of mannequin movies when they were first out in VHS. The reason I bought the DVD is because of my fun memory of watching the movie. Though the movie is just a comedy which does not require too much brain to watch, I love the creative window case the the ideas of all actions which put the story together. I am especially found of the character Hollywood Montrose and his various sun glasses. Personally I preferthe first one because its originality. The story are entirely different in the two movies. The songs are wonderful. It is such a pleasure to watch them and feel good afterward. I wish there were a thrid one. Over more than ten years and my likeness for the movie has not change a bit. It is one of my favorite movies.
