Same plot... different characters... over the top fantasy plot... over acting... "Mannequin On The Move" is an uncalled for sequel to a popular romantic comedy. It was obvious that a sequel was on it's way but my real question is: "why did it take 4 years to produce this sequel?". There isn't real effort in my opinion.
Still, the movie is entertaining , pop corn entertaining. Meshach Taylor returns as well as the ultra flamboyant Hollywood. His character is probably the most likable in the movie. Not that William Ragsdale or Kristy Swanson are not good but Taylor steals the show. Talking about the lead couple, I felt that Ms. Swanson wasn't very natural in her role. She's extremely cute and had this "girl I would like to protect" personality but she lacks of a vibe. Ragsdale (a different kind of hero in "Fright Night") delivers a less usual performance as a geeky hero. It works. Terry Kiser of "Weekend At Bernie's " fame delivers an over the top performance but strangely enough, it works for the movie.
Ah, what the heck. Give a chance to this sequel and you might have a good time if you are into the post 80's mess. It's a cheesy movie with a happy ending. You can't go wrong.
