5/10
Sequel to the 1987 film of the same name. Cute film

Warning: Spoilers
Mannequin 2 On The Move is a 1991 romantic fantasy comedy and is the sequel to the 1987 film starring Andrew McCartney and Kim Cattrall. This time around it centres on a peasant girl named Jessie(Kirsty Swanson)who falls for a handsome Prince named William (William Ragsdale)and the two apparently want to get married. But an evil sorcerer (Terry Kiter from Weekend At Bernies)curses the girl by giving her a necklace which causes her to freeze. The only way to break the spell is if the girl falls in love with someone else in another land. Another catch is if someone takes off the necklace,she's alive but on she's frozen again.

We cut to 1991 and we meet a man named Jason(also Ragsdale) who works as a store clerk at a fashion store. One day however Jason and his new friend/assistant Hollywood Montroe(from the 1st movie) spots a truck where the enchanted peasant is kept. Jason finds her as he goes in for her in the water. He brings her back to the store and takes off her necklace only for her to become real, and thinks that Jason is her Prince William . As the two spend time together they fall in love. But when Jessie finds the necklace and puts it on again she becomes frozen again,plus the evil sorcerer who is now a count tries to take her back. Could Jason be the Prince and can he save her from the reincarnation of the sorcerer,as well as breaking the curse.?

Overall It's a silly 90s movie and although it's not the same as the 1987 version it's still a cute entertaining movie and I knew Jason would marry Jessie in the end of the movie.

Kirsty Swanson was likeable as Jessie as she was so naive and likeable. Plus her and William Ragsdale had cute chemistry together(he reminded me of Zac Efron).

I like how they added the original song Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship at the end of the credits. If you enjoyed the first one and love cheesy over the top romantic comedies like this than do check it out.

My rating 5.8/10 59%

Rewatched 29th January 2019 Last time I watched it was when I was a kid in the mid 90s and totally forgot about it till now.
