Reviews
|
Variety -
Mannequin is as stiff and spiritless as its title suggests.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
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.
|
|
Washington Post -
Some sort of combination of a teen-age Bewitched and a Police Academy for department stores.
|
|
The New York Times -
In place of a real story, there is just the spectacle of stock characters being put through their paces to fill up the time.
|
|
Time Out -
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.
