A review by r96sk

'Mannequin' is pure cheese and very silly, but I can't deny it's a nice piece of light entertainment; it's cute, in its own way, too. Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall both fit their respective roles well, so does everyone else on the cast; Meshach Taylor is the standout of the rest.

There really isn't much more to say. It's a simple movie and I simply enjoyed it. Oh, and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" is a banger.
