	Author	Review
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"'Mannequin' is as stiff and spiritless as its title suggests"	NEG
United States	Paul Attanasio The Washington Post	"Some sort of combination of a teen-age' Bewitched' and a 'Police Academy' for department stores"	NEG
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"In place of a real story, there is just the spectacle of stock characters being put through their paces to fill up the time"	NEG
