What to Know

Critics Consensus

Mannequin is a real dummy, outfitted with a ludicrous concept and a painfully earnest script that never springs to life, despite the best efforts of an impossibly charming Kim Cattrall.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times This movie is a real curiosity. It's dead. I don't mean it's bad. A lot of bad movies are fairly throbbing with life. Mannequin is dead. The wake lasts 1 1/2 hours, and then we can leave the theater. Rated: 0.5/4 Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Gavin Bainbridge Empire Magazine A pallid shopfloor fairytale with absolutely no magic to speak of. Rated: 1/5 Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune There`s some solid talent here, but Gottlieb's overemphatic direction reduces them all to broad caricature -- the kind of crazed mugging that isn't often seen outside the boundaries of Saturday morning kiddie shows. Rated: 1/4 Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...it's a load of old cobblers... Rated: 2/5 Sep 2, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The tone of the film is very light but exceptionally silly. Rated: 4/10 Sep 6, 2020 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) It was fairly terrible back in 1987, and probably terribly fair by 2020 standards.

Erin M One of the great rom coms from the 80’s. Great actors and soundtrack and I’ve watched this many times and it’s always entertaining and feel good movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review J D 80s magic all the way, couldnt exist in any other decade...a timeless piece of silly but memorable entertainment Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review David F There was some endearing 80s nostalgia, and McCarthy vs. Spader is always a good element to have in your film, but the plot about a department store dummy who comes to life was pretty weird. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Manequim Elenco: @andrewtmccarthy @kimcattrall @spaderjamesofficial Estelle Getty Modelo: #romance #comedia #ficção Duração: 1h 30 m Ano: 1987 Minha opinião: Uma comédia que também deixou sua marca na década de 80, ano de glória do cinema. Namorada de Aluguel, Negócio Arriscado, Os Fantasmas se Divertem, A Dama de Vermelho, Um Principe em NY, Olha quem esta Falando, Fujam o Piloto Sumiu, Férias Frustadas, Locademia de Policia, Mulher Nota 1000, Os Três Amigos, Os Irmãos Cara de Pau,.... E muito mais..... Aqui temos este romance clássico, onde Emmy (Cattrall) é uma egípcia e é transportada para o ano de 1987 e encarnando de uma "Manequin" e temos Jonathan (McCarthy) um sonhador, mas um grande fracassado que não encontra um emprego que fique com ele. Até o dia que ele salva dna. Claire que é a dona de uma grande loja de departamento. E por salva-la ele pede um emprego para ela. E assim em um dos trabalhos é fazer a vitrine da loja com os Manequins. E assim em uma bela noite como sendo uma Cinderela ela se torna humana. Eles tem uma noite incrível e assim vai ocorrendo uma divertida aventura entre romance e comédia. Uma estoria infantil, mas que na época havia várias do gênero. Roteiro e enredo básico da década de 80. Vale apena assistir? Sim como nostalgia. Nota: assistindo na década de 80 nota 7, vendo hoje 24 nota 5. Média nota 6. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Joe G This wonderfully lighthearted Romantic comedy is a must see. Every single character is memorable in their own very distinct way. This movie captures lighthearted, cartoon-like humor as well as slapstick comedy. For anyone who enjoys the romantic comedy genre, this movie is a cult classic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Luis C This movie has the magical touch of the 80s. Highly recommend it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
