I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I wanted to but couldn't!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Sequel to Mannequin has little in common with the first movie, outside of Meshach Taylor's character Hollywood and the Jefferson Starship song played at the end. A lot of people hated the first Mannequin but I'm one of its fans. It's a movie that never fails to bring a smile to my face, despite its perceived faults. This one is not as good, for a variety of reasons, but it is watchable fluff. It recycles some elements from the first movie but goes in its own direction with the cursed necklace and all that. It's not very funny but there are some laughs here and there. The romance this time doesn't work as well due to the bland chemistry between William Ragsdale and Kristy Swanson. Despite this, both of them are cute and fun individually. Terry Kiser is amusing as the villain. Meshach Taylor aggressively steals every scene he's in. The trio of German bodybuilding guys are very lame. I assume they were put in this because Hans & Franz was a thing on Saturday Night Live back then. Aside from "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", this is a terrible soundtrack. The gagworthy "Can't Believe My Eyes" by Gene Miller (who?) is just one of the tacky songs in this. If you liked Mannequin, give this one a shot but keep expectations low. Oh, and be prepared for a surprising fate for one of the characters. I doubt you'll see it coming.

I saw this movie when I was younger and really loved it....granted as to all 'sequels' it is not as great as the first one but still a good movie. Like Mannequin it starts off in another time and something unrealistic happens like with Emmy getting sucked through a time portal of some kind through the tombs of her ancestors and then somehow being turned into a mannequin....a magician puts a curse on a young maiden that a prince has fallen in love with for a thousand years or til true love that she will remain frozen...The blossoming story of love between Kristy Swanson and William Ragsdale is very sweet and as in Mannequin it ends with a unique rescue of true love and bringing Meschak Taylor back for this one as well was a welcomed comic relief as 'Hollywood'. All in All a good movie!

Same plot... different characters... over the top fantasy plot... over acting... "Mannequin On The Move" is an uncalled for sequel to a popular romantic comedy. It was obvious that a sequel was on it's way but my real question is: "why did it take 4 years to produce this sequel?". There isn't real effort in my opinion.Still, the movie is entertaining , pop corn entertaining. Meshach Taylor returns as well as the ultra flamboyant Hollywood. His character is probably the most likable in the movie. Not that William Ragsdale or Kristy Swanson are not good but Taylor steals the show. Talking about the lead couple, I felt that Ms. Swanson wasn't very natural in her role. She's extremely cute and had this "girl I would like to protect" personality but she lacks of a vibe. Ragsdale (a different kind of hero in "Fright Night") delivers a less usual performance as a geeky hero. It works. Terry Kiser of "Weekend At Bernie's " fame delivers an over the top performance but strangely enough, it works for the movie. Ah, what the heck. Give a chance to this sequel and you might have a good time if you are into the post 80's mess. It's a cheesy movie with a happy ending. You can't go wrong.

You know where you stand with "Mannequin 2" early on, when you find out that the unfunniest character of the original has returned - and he has a bigger role to boot! The "romance" part of the film is still kind of sweet, but Ragsdale is no Andrew McCarthy, and Kristy Swanson, unlike Kim Cattrall, doesn't bring any personality to her character; she's beautiful but bland. In fact, that's the word that most accurately sums up the movie: bland. Its comic invention extends to "funny" accents, homosexual gags and chases in toy cars. If you like this sort of thing, go for it. (*1/2)
