	Media	Author	Review
		Empire	"Despite the presence of four credited screenwriters, the plot is a rehash of cliches and tired jokes. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Henry Sheehan Chicago Reader	"There are far too many script misfires and built-in flat tires (every time the bodybuilding trio shows up the film dies) to overcome."
		TV Guide	"'Mannequin 2' is breathlessly funny and blessedly unassuming comedic nonsense."
		John Hartl 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."
		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."
		Janet Maslin The New York Times	"This film has enough new characters and independent spirit to have a light, cheery style of its own."
		Peter Stack SFgate	"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."
		Susan Wloszczyna rogerebert.com	"'Mannequin Two' desperately wants to be magical. But the spell it casts is one of idiocy."
