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.

TV Guide Magazine
MANNEQUIN TWO is breathlessly funny and blessedly unassuming comedic nonsense. - 60
The New York Times
This film has enough new characters and independent spirit to have a light, cheery style of its own. - 50
Variety
The only real movement is offered by Meshach Taylor, a prancing decorator who returns from the original Mannequin for more stereotyped fun. - 40
Empire
Despite the presence of four credited screenwriters, the plot is a rehash of cliches and tired jokes. - 38
The Seattle Times
Unfortunately, the recycled plot is still the driving force here, and the movie becomes increasingly frantic trying to accommodate it. In the end, Raffill can't bring this dummy to life, but he does try. - 30
Time Out
Raffill's heavy-handed direction is jam-packed with product placement, and interrupted every ten seconds with yet another plug for a boring MOR rock song. - 30
Los Angeles Times
Even more feeble than the 1987 original. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
Things are generally cute in the film -- and that goes for the stars -- and it all chugs along in some curious bubblegum-chewing sort of way. But the flavor's decidedly flat. [18 May 1991, p.C3]
