Critics Consensus

Chock full of clichéd gags and glaring product placement, Mannequin: On the Move is even more lifeless than its woeful predecessor.

Ruined the first one which was hard to do. Insipid stupid and unbelievable. A must miss. One of the worst movies ever made.

The first MANNEQUIN film was so great that it demanded a sequel, right? I'd never watched this film before and was taken aback by how unfunny it was. Kristy Swanson (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, DEADLY FRIEND) is cute as the mannequin (even with some ridiculously big hair), and William Ragsdale (FRIGHT NIGHT, HERMAN'S HEAD) is affable as the mannequin's love interest, but it's all super dumb. Terry "WEEKEND AT BERNIES" Kiser also appears in the film, as does Meshach Taylor (DESIGNING WOMEN) as the only returning character, Montrose., but I can't think of any reason to recommend this movie outside of late 80s and early 90s nostalgia. The film does end by playing the Starship theme from the first film, which I did listen to for a few days afterward, so that's gotta be worth at least one star.

I watched it a couple of times and thought it was a cute movie. If you go into it without any expectations then you might enjoy it. Meshach Taylor's performance was a highlight to the film.
