Mannequin: On the Move

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.

"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!

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.

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.

Although not very well received at the box office or by critics, Mannequin Two has, in my opinion, outdone its predecessor, 1987's Mannequin. Its only connection to the original, with the obvious exception of the mannequin storyline, is the hilarious Meschach Taylor, who reprises his role as outrageous sidekick Hollywood Montrose. The story, with its time-travelling characters and medeival sorcery, does require a bit of imagination - it's definitely not realistic fiction, which is what I think possibly destroyed it when it was released. In and of itself it is a sweet and humorous story about a love that transcends the ages, and it would be unfair to compare it to the dull original. William Ragsdale makes the perfect prince, and Kristy Swanson fits quite nicely into the beautiful, innocent peasant girl role. It is a film to be enjoyed by all ages, and whether you're looking for adventure, comedy, or romance, Mannequin Two:On the Move will surely deliver.
