Mannequin

This movie is an absolute classic!

A goofy little romantic comedy, Mannequin is an enjoyable piece of ‘80s camp. The story follows a young artist named Jonathan Switcher whose window-dressings start to revive a dying department store, but what no one knows is that he has a mannequin as his silent partner who has the ability to come to life. While the plot’s rather formulaic, the comedy’s well-written and adds a lot of character to the film. Additionally, the cast, which includes Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall, and James Spader, has a lot fun with the material and it shows through in their performances. Plus, the soundtrack, which feature some great pop hits such as “In My Wildest Dreams” and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now,” adds a lot of energy to the film. A charming and delightful comedy, Mannequin is lighthearted and entertaining.
