Mannequin

What teenage boy never dreamed of his own, tailor made woman?!

Plot: In ancient Egypt, Emmy (Kim Cattrall) is betrothed to a dung dealer and rather than marry a man who smells of manure, she prays to the Gods to save her. Her prayers are answers as she is transported through time and reincarnated as a mannequin in an up-scale department store. Meanwhile, the designer (Andrew McCarthy) who created the plastic body Emmy now resides in, becomes obsessed with her. One night, while the pair are alone, Emmy comes to life, startling the designer. The pair strike up a great working relationship, wherein every morning, the ailing stores front is re-imagined and draws more and more people to shop there.

Love, strife, playfulness and a touch of magical romance...what's not to like?

Look out for 'Captain Harris' from Police Academy as a disgruntled security guard and an early turn from James Spader (Stargate).

Budget: $6,000,000

Gross: $42,721,196

Fun Fact: The film was based on Marketing principles, judging casting and storyline via tests with the target demographic-girls. The film also beat Stallone's Over the Top on it's opening weekend.
