Stiff act to follow
Andrew McCarthy and Kim Catrall – not exactly an Oscar winning couple if you know what I mean?
But, somehow they did manage to hit a little box office gold in this classic 80s feel-good comedy.
Naturally, what follows is a series of bumbling lies, chance encounters and embarrassment for Andrew McCarthy’s character.
Obviously, you need a bad dude too, and there are few as versed as James Spader.
Even more 80s-esque and memorable was the theme song Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now, bought to us by the same people that bought us We Built This City…classic.
You know, when I was a kid I thought the most brilliant thing about this was that they could run around the department store at night and have all the fun they wanted. It really was the ultimate – plus he had a hot chick with him for the whole time, and some crazy eccentric designer called Hollywood covering for him. In my mind, that was a possibility for the future.

I think we all felt the same way - hence the film's success. All I wanted was a manequin and a dept store LOL
