Mannequin (1987)

Synopsis: A guy who builds mannequins for a living witnesses one of his creations come to life; they fall in love and at the same time save the store from bankruptcy with their dazzling window designs.

Appraisal: If all movies, even the sillier ones, are a reflex of their times, one could deduce from Mannequin that by the late eighties women became so cold and unloving that even mannequins had more warmth and appeal than them. At any rate, this is a light, upbeat movie that doesn't have much in the way of elaboration. It's a poor entertainment, actually.

Rating: 33
