Although Jason works as a department store clerk, he is also a reincarnated prince. Long ago, his beloved Jessie was snatched away from him by an evil wizard who used his powers to transform her into wooden statue. Now Jessie is in Jason's department store as a mannequin. When he encounters her, she awakens from her thousand-year sleep. They quickly revive their romance, but the evil wizard has been reincarnated as well, and he's up to no good.

<em>'Mannequin Two: On the Move'</em> does a great job at showing how badly the first film could've went, had they got it wrong (which they didn't, thankfully). This sequel to that 1987 movie is absolutely awful, it dragged hard for me; a final 30mins has rarely felt as long as this.
Kristy Swanson and William Ragsdale don't do much wrong themselves in the two lead roles, though their characters are portrayed/written woefully. Nice to see Meshach Taylor again, even if he isn't as good as before; Taylor is the only actor from last time out to return.
It's simply a knock off/cash grab/whatever of the first flick. They even try to force a new song on us, in this case "Can't Believe My Eyes" - they play the same part of it at least three times. It's no "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", that's for sure.
