Mannequin

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

Jonathan Switcher loved talking to his work, but he never expected it to talk back. Now his life's heading in a different direction.
Sometimes life is strange and wonderful... he's strange and she's wonderful. She may be a mannequin, but he's no dummy.
Just because Jonathan Switcher has fallen in love with a piece of wood, it doesn't make him a dummy.
Some guys have all the luck!
When she comes to life, anything can happen!
