Aiuto! Mi sono persa a New York

I found this film a thrill to watch. I never intended to watch it but one day it was on and I decided to give it a go. I have not seen the original and I had not even heard of it. But when I got in to this story I found very entertaining. The characters are wonderful. Kristy Swanson is beautiful as the mannequin. Hollywood is hilarious. I also like the lead character as a lot of people, maybe myself can relate to him. After Watching it I rate it as my favourite Romantic Comedy. It is one that the whole family can enjoy. I would highly recommend it as a film worth watching.

Even though this is a pretty badly made movie, it's something that I just enjoyed when I was a kid. I think because I was in my princess and "damsel in distress" phase.

Watching this movie now, it is pretty ridicules. I mean, the whole history back flash in the beginning, now I know this is a movie and it is supposed to be fairy tale like, but the peasant girl having a beautiful dress and cape with perfect hair and make up? Just didn't make sense. The knights were complete wusses when in real life they were trained to take a sword through a gut and continue in battle.

And the acting, yes it's pretty bad. But again, this was just something that I enjoyed as a kid. For the kids, just let them have fun with it. But as a movie for adults in a serious train of mind, just ignore it.

4/10

Featuring the delicious Kristy Swanson this film is a sequel to the quite popular film Mannequin. A queen in some ancient times is cursed with a necklace that transforms her into a statue and she is then somehow transported to the real world where she(the statue) is kept in a warehouse. A guy accidently takes off the necklace and she comes to life. This is a harmless fun kind of film although it was torn apart by critics on release. William Ragsdale(wonder why he never hit it big) is the main lead opposite Swanson and they make a sweet couple. Watch this if you have nothing better to do but it is cute.

"Mannequin 2" is not better than the original, but sure it's a great light comedy. I'd say that it's perfect to watch this movie with your sweetheart, or by yourself if you're in the mood for silly jokes, and a silly plot, but hey!!! you'll enjoy it.

William Ragsdale's role kinda reminded me his role in "Fright Night", he is dumb, but gets what he wants, but maybe it's just my imagination.

Kirsty Swanson looks great, and is OK, ... oh yeah, she was hot! mmmh Meshach Taylor gives the most homosexual performance in a 90's comedy movie. And Gail's character was OK because Julie Foreman is so pretty.

Don't expect too much of this movie, have a nice time watching it!

Sequel to Mannequin has little in common with the first movie, outside of Meshach Taylor's character Hollywood and the Jefferson Starship song played at the end. A lot of people hated the first Mannequin but I'm one of its fans. It's a movie that never fails to bring a smile to my face, despite its perceived faults. This one is not as good, for a variety of reasons, but it is watchable fluff. It recycles some elements from the first movie but goes in its own direction with the cursed necklace and all that. It's not very funny but there are some laughs here and there. The romance this time doesn't work as well due to the bland chemistry between William Ragsdale and Kristy Swanson. Despite this, both of them are cute and fun individually. Terry Kiser is amusing as the villain. Meshach Taylor aggressively steals every scene he's in. The trio of German bodybuilding guys are very lame. I assume they were put in this because Hans & Franz was a thing on Saturday Night Live back then. Aside from "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", this is a terrible soundtrack. The gagworthy "Can't Believe My Eyes" by Gene Miller (who?) is just one of the tacky songs in this. If you liked Mannequin, give this one a shot but keep expectations low. Oh, and be prepared for a surprising fate for one of the characters. I doubt you'll see it coming.
