Classic Friday : Mannequin (1987) 8/10

Starring : Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall, Estelle Getty, James Spader, G W Bailey
Director : Michael Gottlieb
Running Time : 96 mins

Jonathan Switcher (McCarthy) is an artist who has taken a temporary job in a factory that builds mannequins, but as a perfectionist he’s only made one in all his time there, and he’s fallen in love with it. So, when it becomes possessed by the spirit of a long dead Egyptian called Emmy (Cattrall), Switcher finds himself involved in a very peculiar romance, especially as everyone else sees the dummy as a dummy.

Although the plot is a little silly, this is still a very enjoyable 80s classic. The music alone makes it a cheesy memory which rekindles the youth of all 80s children just by watching it. It’s very difficult not to like this movie, as it’s so energetic and upbeat, so if you haven’t seen it check it out.
