Mannequin Two: On the Move (1991)

Featuring the delicious Kristy Swanson this film is a sequel to the quite popular film Mannequin. A queen in some ancient times is cursed with a necklace that transforms her into a statue and she is then somehow transported to the real world where she(the statue) is kept in a warehouse. A guy accidently takes off the necklace and she comes to life. This is a harmless fun kind of film although it was torn apart by critics on release. William Ragsdale(wonder why he never hit it big) is the main lead opposite Swanson and they make a sweet couple. Watch this if you have nothing better to do but it is cute.

Much like the first one I haven't seen this one in years but I remember it as if it was only yesterday.The story is very similar to the first one only there is different actors in this movie and the girl that becomes the mannequin wasn't an Egyptian mummy like the first one,but a peasant girl who was cast under a spell and is now a department store dummy in the 90s. Of course the guy creates her like in the first movie except she has a necklace on her and when the necklace is on she is alive but if its off she is a dummy again.So will they won't they get together and can she become a real human like in the first movie.Yeah yeah its a really stupid set up but if you enjoyed the first one and like a feel good chick flick then check it out.5.1/10

I can remember being in awe when I first saw this movie in the theatre. Nothing I'd seen since Police Academy compared. Most of the characters in this movie are flawed to some degree, which makes them even more real. It's amazing to me that this movie received such poor reviews. I saw it and loved it. The question remains, "Yeah, but is it funny?" It's very much a dark comedy. It's not "touchy feely" in any sense. That being said, you still get your classic moments. What makes this movie work so well for me is how close it is to reality for a lot of people. There seems to be an abundance of people who clearly seem disappointed by life. Aside from that, this is a fairly simple, yet entertaining movie. Does it break any new ground? Certainly not. But how many movies do?

Even though this is a pretty badly made movie, it's something that I just enjoyed when I was a kid. I think because I was in my princess and "damsel in distress" phase.Watching this movie now, it is pretty ridicules. I mean, the whole history back flash in the beginning, now I know this is a movie and it is supposed to be fairy tale like, but the peasant girl having a beautiful dress and cape with perfect hair and make up? Just didn't make sense. The knights were complete wusses when in real life they were trained to take a sword through a gut and continue in battle.And the acting, yes it's pretty bad. But again, this was just something that I enjoyed as a kid. For the kids, just let them have fun with it. But as a movie for adults in a serious train of mind, just ignore it.4/10
