Don't take her necklace off! The '87 dummy was not a great comedy. Actually, the comedy was very average, but at the same time there was a signature sparkling enthusiasm of the carefree 80s, which was successfully complemented by the personal charm of the two main stars of the picture - Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall. The film was a success, and four years later they decided to repeat this success, filming a kind of continuation of the original, although it is much more accurate to call this film a remake, because the old story was corny retold again, making purely cosmetic changes to the story of the revived mannequin. The intentional simplification of the already simple plot led to a natural result - a light and playful-stupid comedy was turned into an ordinary vulgarity. If in the first film it was not only and not so much about the power of love, but rather about the power of creative imagination, which eventually infects all others, after which the mannequin comes to life finally and irrevocably, then in the remake there is no semantic “double bottom” and close. The magic of the imagination is replaced by a stupid magic “freezing” necklace, because of which, in fact, all the fuss takes place.
Vulgar Christie Swanson with a wild hairstyle and in a “leaperd” dress, unlike the heroine Cattrall, no longer inspires anyone with creative energy, turning instead into a banal provincial girl who came to the metropolis and was struck down with bright clothes that can be bought with a credit card. A girl from the Middle Ages easily fits into the modern consumer society, into the very world of “mannequins in motion”, and quickly dissolves into it like sugar in water. This is the real magic, and you say the necklace.
