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.

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.

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!

I liked it. I remember kinda watch it when I was younger but completely forgot about it. 80 and 90s movies are the best because they almost have a since of fate playing a hand that people overlook in today's world. The feeling of positivity that you are left with at the end is rarely felt after watching movies now ah days.

This is by all measures a terrible film. But I have loved it since first seeing it in the late 80s. It's plot makes no sense, the acting is over the top but it's pure 1980s cheese.

This movie is a beautiful slice of 1987. The cast is crammed with a number of people that have gone on to extensive and unique careers. But despite a shaky plot, it is a classic story of the wandering artist, trying to find a way to ply their trade, and finding a wacky experience that launches things in a different direction. The acting is average for the 1980s, the copy that I streamed on HBO was pretty crisp, the scenes of New York City remind me of the 1980s and it was simply a nice trip back to a time when things were simpler. There is something ineffable but beautiful about Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall dancing to bland 80s music…

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.

A pallid shopfloor fairytale with absolutely no magic to speak of.

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.

It was fairly terrible back in 1987, and probably terribly fair by 2020 standards.
