Plot: In Mannequin, a lame attempt to revive the style and panache of fantasy-tinged romantic comedies of the '30s and '40s, Andrew McCarthy stars as a department store window-dresser who discovers that one of his mannequins (Kim Cattrall) is actually a woman from ancient Egypt when she becomes animated one evening. She then inspires him to become the most expressive window-dresser the business has ever seen. Of course, there is intrigue involving a rival department store's attempt to drive the good guys out of business, and together the two store-crossed lovers must combat the forces of evil to save the day. There is no real mystery about what will happen in the course of the film; it all seems color-by-numbers. The only thing unique about Mannequin is its uniquely bad and illogical script, which has holes larger than the Grand Canyon. Mannequin was a surprise box-office hit, earning nearly 25 million dollars in just under a month of its release -- no small feat considering its miniscule budget and seeming lack of appeal to any particular demographic. It spawned an inferior sequel, Mannequin Two: On the Move, reaffirming the belief that anything is possible. In spite of being panned by critics across the board, it did manage to receive one accolade -- its theme, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, was nominated by the Academy for Best Song. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide

two movies in one

I like both movies. Both funny. Actually, I remember seeing the 2nd movie, first time on tv, when I was only 7. The ending song by Starship really stuck inside my head. This was before I saw the first movie 5 years later. Now I have both on DVD for a very good price.

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.
