Editorial Review:
Mannequin: In many ways Emmy is the perfect girlfriend: pretty and poised with a perpetual smile -- and she never talks back. Sure she's a department store dummy but Jonathan doesn't seem to mind.Mannequin 2: On The Move: Hollywood Montrose (Meshach Taylor) has now been promoted to the head of Prince & Company's Visual Display Department. He takes on a new assistant Jason (William Ragsdale) who in a past life was the prince of the kingdom of Hauptmann-Koenig. One thousand years ago he lost his beloved Jessie (Kristy Swanson) when an evil sorcerer (Terry Kiser) turned her into a wooden icon now known as the Enchanted Peasant Girl. As a tribute to Hauptman-Koenig the Enchanted Peasant Girl is being sent to Prince & Company for a window display. Jason awakens Jessie and the two get re-acquainted having a millennium of things to catch up on. But the evil sorcerer now reincarnated as Count Spretzle arrives on the scene to take Jessie (and a prized necklace) and hop a flight for Bermuda with Jason the only one who can stop him.System Requirements:Running Time: 184 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/COMEDY OF ERRORS UPC: 883904104322 Manufacturer No: M110432
Description of Mannequin & Mannequin 2: On the Move:
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
Mannequin & Mannequin 2: On the Move Reviews:
Great deal!! 
2008-09-22 - Great buy-two movies for the price of one. Both movies are cute and funny with a touch of real romance!!
I just love the 80s romantic comedies. This one does the job!
2008-09-14 - Ever since I saw the first Mannequin movie, I know that I got to have this in my collection someday. That was more than 15 years ago. I just bought this two-pack DVD of Mannequin 1 and 2 and that is a great find for me. I cannot tell you which on of the two is my favorite but I think that part one has a slight umph to it. And for the $7.50 price that I pay in Amazon, I would be crazy to pass it up.
