Great Film overall

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Blistering performances.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I don't quite understand its relatively low ratings and reviews, as I found it to be a fairly good movie for its genre, while at the same time being unique/bringing something new to the table other than the typical clique romance you'd expect. Was also surprisingly ahead of its time, having an openly gay character as a friend to the protagonist (although he was highly based upon stereotypes). However, left some pretty important questions unanswered, to the point parts of the movie didn't totally make sense. Ultimately, worth a watch

A classic 80' comedy,the original idea is pretty good,McCarthy made a good job,Cattrall was in great shape and sexy than ever...and the most interesting couple in the movie Felix and Rambo simply stolen the show playing the same crook character style as Police Academy,priceless as never...and made a duo dumb together Rambo what a Dog!!!James Spader is also a high point in the movie...the stylist Hollywood in the funny role as gay guy is totally crazy given a colorful to the movie,amazing escaping comedy!! Resume: First watch: 1990 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7

Movies like this make me miss life back in the late '80s and early '90s when things felt simpler than they are now. Technology was developing but it was not overbearing and everywhere like it is now. Mannequin was a transition movie, coming out of the materialistic Big Eighties into the early '90s era of increasing acceptance of alternative lifestyles.The movie is a lot more progressive than people give it credit for. The artistic main male character was positively juxtaposed against other characters that defined manhood in a negative way (the hyperaggressive security guard and the corporate schmooze). This sends a powerful message that the definition of being a "man" isn't always about being a jerk. Yes, you can find a girlfriend and succeed at life without reducing yourself to being a cog in the machine or macho posturing.I'm giving this movie 10 stars because it deserves a higher rating than it's getting now. Otherwise I'd give it an 8. The movie itself was well made and well directed. The experience of watching this is fun. For those of us old enough to remember when it came out, it is also nostalgic.

I remember this movie a long time ago so here is my review on it.The story is about a young man(played by Andrew McCartney)who works in a department store in New York City. He of course is in love with a girl,but the problem is she isn't real. In actual fact she is of course a mannequin. But when no one is around,the mannequin is magically brought to life(played by a very young Kim Catrell). You see she was cursed a very long time ago as she is of course a mummy so she ends up being transformed into a mannequin and is sent to modern times(you will see this of course in the beginning of the movie). So will Andrew and Kim's charcthers ever get together and can she become human in the end of the movie?Bottom line this is a very contrived movie with a very contrived plot,but if you love a bit of fun and you want to watch a feel good 80s chick flick,then check it out. I enjoyed it as I have seen this film so many times before on TV.6.1/10Also keep an eye out for a hilarious stylist with cool looking sunglasses and Estelle Getty who was in The Golden Girls.
