Although Jason (William Ragsdale) works as a department store clerk, he is also a reincarnated prince. Long ago, his beloved Jessie (Kristy Swanson) was snatched away from him by an evil wizard (Terry Kiser) who used his powers to transform her into wooden statue. Now Jessie is in Jason's department store as a mannequin. When he encounters her, she awakens from her thousand-year sleep. They quickly revive their romance, but the evil wizard has been reincarnated as well, and he's up to no good.

Critics Consensus

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

John Hartl

Seattle Times

Unfortunately, the recycled plot is still the driving force here, and the movie becomes increasingly frantic trying to accommodate it. In the end, Raffill can't bring this dummy to life, but he does try.

Rated: 1.5/4

Empire Magazine

Despite the presence of four credited screenwriters, the plot is a rehash of cliches and tired jokes.

Desmond Ryan

Philadelphia Inquirer

Beneath this slick variation on the Sleeping Beauty theme lies a male fantasy that would not withstand much hard psychological scrutiny.

TV Guide

Sometimes talented filmmakers can pep up even the most hackneyed material with an infusion of energy and talent.

Radio Times

The script is so full of old gags it must have been chiselled on stone tablets, while Stewart Raffill's direction is a model example of how not to let the action get in the way of product placements.

Rated: 1/5

Could somebody please tell me why four scriptwriters were needed for Mannequin Two: On the Move?

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

Featuring the delicious Kristy Swanson this film is a sequel to the quite popular film Mannequin. A queen in some ancient times is cursed with a necklace that transforms her into a statue and she is then somehow transported to the real world where she(the statue) is kept in a warehouse. A guy accidently takes off the necklace and she comes to life. This is a harmless fun kind of film although it was torn apart by critics on release. William Ragsdale(wonder why he never hit it big) is the main lead opposite Swanson and they make a sweet couple. Watch this if you have nothing better to do but it is cute.
