Mannequin Reviews
...it's a load of old cobblers...
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 2, 2021
The tone of the film is very light but exceptionally silly.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 6, 2020
It was fairly terrible back in 1987, and probably terribly fair by 2020 standards.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 22, 2020
Silly yet basically watchable...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 6, 2019
Light comedy requires a delicate touch, but in his first feature film, director Michael Gottlieb displays all the deftness of Godzilla.

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.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Mar 19, 2019
Both lead performers are affable. It's the material that sinks them.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 19, 2019
A pallid shopfloor fairytale with absolutely no magic to speak of.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 19, 2019
Photography is cloudy, the sound weak and often garbled. Performances are broad and antics throughout reveal a penchant for slapstick.
| Mar 19, 2019
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.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 19, 2019
It's as if the film makers had the aspirations of classy old-style Hollywood hacks, but not their tricks: They don't know in which dummies the gold is buried.
| Mar 19, 2019
It's a premise that requires a light, frothy touch, but director Michael Gottlieb instead takes it as a cue for some helpless mugging and crude slapstick.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 19, 2019
A lifeless and sophomoric attempt at romantic comedy that draws on the fantasy films of old Hollywood but fails miserably.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 19, 2019
To label this movie "entertainment" is to perpetrate consumer fraud.
| Mar 19, 2019
Extremely well performed, scripted, edited and directed, this department store romp offers you a real bargain and doesn't waste a second in telling its tall story.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2019
It gave us a stunning Kim Cattrall, and it also gave us a young, spry James Spader.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 30, 2018
Mannequin is as stiff and spiritless as its title suggests.
| Mar 26, 2009
One of the stupidest movies ever conceived... its very off-the-wall shoddiness is astounding.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 30, 2008
Dirigido com frouxido e contando com um roteiro que certamente no foi revisado, o filme claramente datado, o que, de certa forma, at lhe confere certo charme.
