Mannequin: On the Move

Jessie (Kristy Swanson) is a peasant girl in love with a prince (William Ragsdale). His mother will have no engagement between her son and Jessie so she finds a sorcerer to turn her into a statue for 1,000 years. Fast Forward. Jason (also Ragsdale) is a new department store employee with the job of helping to bring the "peasant girl statue" to an exhibit at his store. Naturally, he finds a way to unlock the spell and turn Jessie into a real person. They enjoy a few brief days together (they even go dancing at a nightclub!) until, it seems, the spell is reworked. Is there someone else after Jessie, as a love interest? How will the course of true love be fulfilled? Fans of these sorts of films will be delighted to discover this one, especially girls and women of all ages. Swanson and Ragsdale are beautiful people with a talent for comedy, too...watching them is a very real pleasure. Costumes and scenery in New York are quite wonderful and the silly but fun plot is most appealing as well. Yes, teenage boys will cut this film to shreds, if they get their hands on it. But, hopeless romantics, after your purchase or borrow this film, keep it in a secure place. You will want to watch it whenever you need a trip to the fantasy land of romance.

This movie detracts from the original, its hard to believe its a sequel to such a great film. Whereas the original made me feel great when I seen it at 3 years of age, watching this utter monstrosity has really ticked me off, this movie actually made me angry, the whole time I felt like getting out of my chair, jumping into the TV and giving the actors lessons "No no F^%ing NO!, you dont write movies like this (slaps script writers). This is a crap movie that devalues the original, I hope whoever wrote it never finds work in the industry again, thank for destroying the original for me, butthole.

The movie is an excellent comedy with the usual simple laughs you come to expect. Kristy Swanson is ok, but the original Kim Cattrall was much funnier. Besides the obvious reasons, Kim Cattrall is also a much better actress, and I think she does well in just about every movie she plays in. This film is a 3.5 of 4 and the original is a perfect 4 in its category. -Peter "When you're smart people need you"

Sure, its not up to the original and on a cerebral scale it wouldn't even register a reading - but so what? I cannot fathom however, why, with the number of quite acceptable reviews it has pulled here, the flick is locked-in to a voting poll of just 2.8 ?? Queen of the B-Graders Kristy Swanson does an acceptable job as the mannequin - she never CLAIMED to be Vivian Leigh! Whatever else she may be, she's uniquely wholesome and appealing and in a little flick like this she's all you need. William Ragsdale is another mega clean-cut youngster (He's 42 now, can u believe?) who in his just nine movies has never to my knowledge uttered a single profanity! No matter he has been immortalised as Charlie Brewster in the two FRIGHT NIGHT movies both of which just get better with time!

Terry Kiser, the long suffering deceased Bernie in the two WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S movies turns up in another offbeat little characterisation as the sorcerer.

Hell, leave the flick alone - my kids love it!

"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!
