Down-on-his-luck artist Jonathan Switcher bounces from one dead-end job to another, never managing to hold onto any of them. But everything changes when he builds a mannequin, which he falls in love with. It is the first thing he has made that makes him feel like a real artist. Much to his surprise, Jonathan discovers the mannequin prominently displayed in the window of Prince and Company department store. When he saves the life of an old lady who happens to be the owner of that store, he is rewarded by getting a job at the store as a stock boy. The mannequin later comes to life as Ema "Emmy" Hesire, who was an ancient Egyptian princess living in the year 2514 BC. Gorgeous and vivacious, this femme fatale helps Jonathan turn his career around, inspiring him to become the best window dresser in town. But Emmy soon discovers that the real world is not very dear, when they run into competitors who want to bring them out of business - for good.

| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaDirigido com frouxidão e contando com um roteiro que certamente não foi revisado, o filme é claramente datado, o que, de certa forma, até lhe confere certo charme. |
| Medium PopcornJustin BrownIt gave us a stunning Kim Cattrall, and it also gave us a young, spry James Spader. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioSome sort of combination of a teen-age Bewitched and a Police Academy for department stores. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonIt's the material that's a problem, its sheer emptiness. Gottlieb and co-writer Ed Rugoff are clumsily trying to re-create something that's better if it's done cannily, with no illusions. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinIn place of a real story, there is just the spectacle of stock characters being put through their paces to fill up the time. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyBroadly acted and badly directed, the cast never clicks and the gags fall flat. (Or, they stoop to dog flatulence.) This is a movie made for one-stop shoppers. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrA pallid shopfloor fairytale with absolutely no magic to speak of, other than the spark in Kim Cattrall's eyes. |
| Tampa Bay TimesThomas B. HarrisonThis 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. |
| DVDTalk.comDavid CorneliusOne of the stupidest movies ever conceived... its very off-the-wall shoddiness is astounding. |
| User Reviewxx Kaz x80s Cheese in the same category as Grease but i really love and enjoy these type movies and this was a big Hit for me. Only makes me wonder why i hadnt seen it sooner. Loved the music too =) |
