Mannequin 2 - Der Zauber geht weiter

The movie is an excellent comedy with the usual simple laughs you come to expect. Kristy Swanson is ok, but the original Kim Cattrall was much funnier. Besides the obvious reasons, Kim Cattrall is also a much better actress, and I think she does well in just about every movie she plays in. This film is a 3.5 of 4 and the original is a perfect 4 in its category. -Peter "When you're smart people need you"

"Mannequin 2" is not better than the original, but sure it's a great light comedy. I'd say that it's perfect to watch this movie with your sweetheart, or by yourself if you're in the mood for silly jokes, and a silly plot, but hey!!! you'll enjoy it.

William Ragsdale's role kinda reminded me his role in "Fright Night", he is dumb, but gets what he wants, but maybe it's just my imagination.

Kirsty Swanson looks great, and is OK, ... oh yeah, she was hot! mmmh Meshach Taylor gives the most homosexual performance in a 90's comedy movie. And Gail's character was OK because Julie Foreman is so pretty.

Don't expect too much of this movie, have a nice time watching it!

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 found this film a thrill to watch. I never intended to watch it but one day it was on and I decided to give it a go. I have not seen the original and I had not even heard of it. But when I got in to this story I found very entertaining. The characters are wonderful. Kristy Swanson is beautiful as the mannequin. Hollywood is hilarious. I also like the lead character as a lot of people, maybe myself can relate to him. After Watching it I rate it as my favourite Romantic Comedy. It is one that the whole family can enjoy. I would highly recommend it as a film worth watching.

Sure, its not up to the original and on a cerebral scale it wouldn't even register a reading - but so what? I cannot fathom however, why, with the number of quite acceptable reviews it has pulled here, the flick is locked-in to a voting poll of just 2.8 ?? Queen of the B-Graders Kristy Swanson does an acceptable job as the mannequin - she never CLAIMED to be Vivian Leigh! Whatever else she may be, she's uniquely wholesome and appealing and in a little flick like this she's all you need. William Ragsdale is another mega clean-cut youngster (He's 42 now, can u believe?) who in his just nine movies has never to my knowledge uttered a single profanity! No matter he has been immortalised as Charlie Brewster in the two FRIGHT NIGHT movies both of which just get better with time!

Terry Kiser, the long suffering deceased Bernie in the two WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S movies turns up in another offbeat little characterisation as the sorcerer.

Hell, leave the flick alone - my kids love it!
