Fatty turns Fifty and its fantastic, wrapped in plastic! This week we review 1987's Mannequin, (starring Andrew McCarthy and Kim Catrall and Estelle Getty), a romantic comedy that explores man's ultimate PIMPelicious ideal of a relationship: Andy McCarthy is a true artist and navel gazing biscuit brain. He crafts a mannequin that gets possessed by the spirit of an Egyptian princess who died 4,000 years ago. The only catch is, the mannequin is real only when they are alone. Their love can only exist when no one else is looking. Pretty soon, department store politics come between them and they must decide: will Andy trade his heart for a dame called reality? A reality that is porous and extremely biodigradable? Or will he throw caution to the wind and rescue that oversized barbie doll from the world's largest Mannequin shredder? In the words of Eighties rock band Starship, "And we can build this dream together standing strong forever nothing's gonna stop us now". Dave reveals what 50 shades of Rom Com have done to him. Noah simply says "you again!".
