Mannequin & Mannequin 2: On the Move

Description

Disc 1: MANNEQUIN Disc 2: MANNEQUIN 2 ON THE MOVE (1991)
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 StubbsMannequin 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
