Skyltdockan 2 Ratings & Reviews
- Jacob O’Neal6 juli 2025A peasant girl is trapped inside a mannequin for 1,000 years, predating America and the English language as we know it, so they cast Kristy Swanson who seems to understand English and speaks with an American accent despite the fact that she shouldn’t. But that’s okay, since it’s a sequel about a mannequin coming to life. William Ragsdale is the lead actor, taking the role of the Andrew McCarthy replacement. Swanson tries her best to be on the level of Kim Catrall from the first film. Meshach Taylor returns as Hollywood with very little explanation as to why he moved from New York to Philadelphia or why he seems to meet men who fall in love with mannequins. Terry Kiser plays an outrageous Austrian count. He and Taylor give us a few good laughs throughout. But the chemistry between Ragsdale and Swanson hurts the film almost as much as the script. If you watch the MonsterVision version, Joe Bob Briggs at least has some fun bits during the breaks and admits to MonsterVision being a big supporter of Swanson’s career with Buffy, Deadly Friend and Hot Shots being in rotation on TNT and MonsterVision through the 90’s and early 2000’s. I’d suggest watching it that way if you’re gonna watch it.
- Callum15 november 2025⭐⭐ – Mannequin 2: On the Move – A Case of Diminishing Magic Mannequin 2: On the Move has one thing working in its favour: it’s perfectly watchable. That’s about where the praise stops. If you loved the original and are hoping for a bit more of that whimsical, enchanted-mannequin magic, this sequel might entertain you — but it definitely feels like the child-friendly, toned-down version of a much better film. The hijinks are still there, but they’ve been dialled down into a more cartoonish space. The plot relies on the same gag of the mannequin reverting at the worst possible time, there’s a toy-like race car gag that feels aimed more at kids than anyone else, and the romance is never as heartfelt or convincing as the first. Kristy Swanson steps into the starring role, and while she’s fine, she lacks the spark and chemistry that Kim Cattrall brought to the original. Seeing Meshach Taylor return as Hollywood should be comforting — and his signature flamboyance is still a highlight — but the character’s arc gets muddled here. He remembers the mannequin magic happening before… yet spends half the movie in disbelief when it happens again. That kind of inconsistency is a perfect example of how the sequel can’t quite keep its story straight. It’s harmless, lightweight, and occasionally charming — but it ultimately proves that some magic isn’t meant to be bottled twice. I watched it again after more than a decade and… well, that seems like the right interval. I’ll likely do so again — in another decade. 🧃 Pairing: A fruit punch juice box — colourful, sugary, fine for a quick sip, but lacking the flavour you'll remember once the straw’s empty.
