"Okay, I admit it...this is my 2nd all time favourite film. I've been watching it since I was a kid and love it!!! This weird but wonderfully funny romantic comedy about a drop out artist & what happens when a store window mannequin which he built, fell in love with, and can't seem to get over; comes to life!
