DVD Talk Review: Mannequin & Mannequin 2: On the Move

So here’s where we were as a nation in February of 1987: Hollywood asked us if we’d like to see Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall in a comedy about a hapless artist who falls in love with a department store dummy who comes to life, with a supporting cast that includes Estelle Getty, James Spader, G.W.

Such horrible movies. Such a hilarious review.
