A flabbergasting thing, "Mannequin". Despite the overacting from pretty much everyone expect for Kim Cattrall and Andrew McCarthy (Estelle Getty too, now that I think about it) and a majority of gags that just aren't funny, I found myself getting into this movie; if only just. the central love story is kinda sweet, and I found myself invested when they sent Cattrall off to the wood chipper. It's fluffy, pretty dumb and wholly superficial, but I dunno . . . the leads pull it off. There's just the matter of those supporting players.
I do like the location they used for the department store, and the sets are like a hot dose of Madison Avenue '80s. The movie wasn't as entertaining as it was when HBO had it in heavy rotation 20-odd years ago, but certainly not the worst I've seen. Mostly, it's just goofy.
5/10
