Watch Mannequin For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

Did you people see the same film I saw?

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This movie is corny this movie may not be the best but I am turning age 60 and this movie came out when I was just about to become a dad. The songs from the late 80s are the best for me and on lazy Sundays its a joy to watch Kim and Andrew make magic every time and take us all back to an age of innocence. Starships's Nothings gonna stop us now makes us pick ourselves up and get going again. I pick this movie as one that uplifts spirits when we are down.

Mannequin (1987): Dir: Michael Gottlieb / Cast: Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall, Estelle Getty, James Spader, G.W. Bailey: Corny romantic comedy that seems to reference the emotional side of love using the term mannequin as a symbol. Andrew McCarthy plays Jonathan Switcher who has a knack for creating art, including a mannequin he recently designed. Unfortunately he has been fired from every job out there. Kim Cattrall prays to the heavens to be vanquished of her Egyptian lifestyle of organized marriage. After an earthquake she is darted ahead to modern day where she inhabits the very mannequin Jonathan created. After landing a job in said store she comes to life, much to his shock but he is the only one who can see her. Preposterous, idiotic and written full formula straight through but one observes that director Michael Gottlieb had an idea. Cattrall is the spirited high full of gusto and enthusiasm. She helps Jonathan become a hit with window dressing thus threatening competition. Other characters cannot be believed. McCarthy is laboring under cardboard material. Estelle Getty as manager is flat. James Spader as Mr. Richards tries too hard. G.W. Bailey as security is an over the top version of his Police Academy role. Finally there is the cliché gay African American named Hollywood who competes with the rest of the fakery. Theme of emotional love barely comes alive in this store window freak show. Score: 4 ½ / 10

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.

Emmy (Kim Cattrall) was born in 2514BC Egypt. Her family wanted her to be married off to a camel dung dealer. She wished for a different life and the gods send her soul into a modern day mannequin. Jonathan Switcher (Andrew McCarthy) can't hold onto a job. It takes him three days to make a mannequin. When he saves an old lady (Estelle Getty), it turns out that she's the owner of a failing department store. She gives Jonathan a job, and he's reunited with the magic mannequin that turns into Emmy when he's alone with him.This is cheesy 80's flic. It's got all the silly moments. James Spader is the ridiculously sleazy executive trying to torpedo the store. G.W. Bailey is the ridiculously stupid night watchman. Steve Vinovich is the ridiculously evil owner of the competition. And Meshach Taylor is the ridiculously over the top gay Hollywood. It's bad smelly cheese. But it's heart is in the right place. So I won't completely destroy this. Go ahead and just enjoy the smelly cheese.
