A 1980s spin on the myth of Pygmalion, about a sculptor who fell in love with one of his own statues. The love-struck fool in this instance is aspiring artist (i.e. hopeful dreamer) Jonathan Switcher (Andrew McCarthy). His creation, the titular dummy, is Emmy (Kim Cattrall), without whom the movie would be a dead loss rom-com. Emmy becomes Switcher's saviour and muse.
A 'classic 80's movie' claims the box art, twice in case we somehow miss the sizeable one on the front. Opinions will differ on whether or not it deserves the tag, but it reminded me of at least one thing that I do love about movies of the era: screen wipes. I miss screen wipes. But pastel pinks I don't miss.
