Mannequin is as stiff and spiritless as its title suggests.

It'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.

Some sort of combination of a teen-age Bewitched and a Police Academy for department stores.

In place of a real story, there is just the spectacle of stock characters being put through their paces to fill up the time.

This pitifully unfunny comedy has only two things going for it: its theme song, Starship's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, is a hit single; and it is short. A film about, by and for dummies.
