Just because Jonathan's fallen in love with a piece of wood, it doesn't make him a dummy.

Overview

Jonathan Switcher, an unemployed artist, finds a job as an assistant window dresser for a department store. When Jonathan happens upon a beautiful mannequin he previously designed, she springs to life and introduces herself as Emmy, an Egyptian under an ancient spell. Despite interference from the store's devious manager, Jonathan and his mannequin fall in love while creating eye-catching window displays to keep the struggling store in business.

Looking in your eyes I see a paradise.

Mannequin is either a sweet affectionate nostalgia movie – or an empty vacuous experience that fronts the bad side of 1980s American film making? Of all the teen comedies and brat packer pictures that flooded the decade, Mannequin appears to be the one that has no in between fan base, you either love it for what it is, or despise it and everything it stands for.

So how do you review something like that? I mean if you have seen it already and are reading this, you don’t need any guidance from me. Your minds are already made up, if you have not seen it and have any interest in the 1980s strand of such fare, then give it a go. It’s hardly an abomination, while for fans of Kim Cattrall and Andrew McCarthy it has to be worth a watch to see them...

After an altercation with a department store sign, the young “Jonathan” (Andrew McCarthy) saves the day and gets himself a job from it’s owner (Estelle Getty). This is much to the chagrin of the shop’s boss “Richards” (James Spader) especially when he starts to make a great impression on the public with his window displays. For that skill, he must thank an ancient Egyptian who has materialised several thousand years after having had a row with her mother in an Edfu temple. She (Kim Cattrall) is a lively and bubbly lass, but she is only animate when they are alone. Otherwise, well she’s the mannequin. What they don’t know is that “Richards” is a duplicitous son-of-gun and is in league with a rival store owner to force them out of business and pick up the place for ten ce...
