Mannequin (1987) watch online

Mannequin is a 1987 American fantasy romantic comedy film directed by Michael Gottlieb in his directorial debut, and written by Edward Rugoff and Gottlieb. It stars Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall, Estelle Getty, James Spader, Meshach Taylor and G. W. Bailey. The original music score was composed by Sylvester Levay. The film revolves around Jonathan Switcher, a passionate, chronically underemployed artist who lands a job as a department store window dresser, and the mannequin he created which becomes inhabited by the spirit of Emmy Hesire, a woman from Ancient Egypt, but only comes alive for Jonathan.

Mannequin received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Original Song for its main title song, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship, which reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart. Both early and later critical reception has been generally negative with common criticisms being made towards the ludicrous premise and the overly farcical and sentimental tone; however, audience responses have been comparatively more positive and in the years since its release, the film has developed a cult following. In 1991, a sequel called Mannequin Two: On the Move was released with none of the main cast except Taylor returning.
