Night Shift (Keep Case) description Ron Howard's breakthrough film as a director launched Michael Keaton as a screen comic. In this film, he is teamed with a hangdog Henry Winkler as a pair of night attendants at a city morgue. Thinking entrepreneurially, Keaton (as the flakier half of the team) convinces a reluctant Winkler that they could kill two birds with one stone and use their quiet surroundings to start a call-girl business. The first girl in the stable of these unlikely pimps: Shelley Long, pre-Cheers. Given the rather tasteless subject matter (ever really met a happy hooker?), it's surprisingly good fun, ignited by the chemistry between the nebbish Winkler and the jet-propelled Keaton, who seized this role and used it to shoot him to stardom--and into several years of stinkers. Meanwhile, the film was supposed to help Winkler segue from the Fonz on Happy Days to a career acting in movies, but whatever happened to him? --Marshall Fine |

| I'm surprised by the number of people that can quote Animal House and Caddy Shack inside and out, but never saw this movie. The other 5-Star reviews do a great job capturing the fun and charm of this movie, which at it's heart is a romantic comedy, but don't let that fool you! Keaton, Winkler and Long make a wonderfully endearing and hilarious team. Darn good little story too-- well crafted and doesn't fizzle at the end like most comedic movies do.
And if I had to pick just one comedy from this era (other than Animal House), it'd be this one hands down even over the other well-known classics like Caddy Shack, Stripes, Weird Science, Ridgemont High, Sixteen Candles, 10, Ghost Busters, etc. This is a classic from that great era, and if you haven't seen it, it'll be like finding a hidden gem. |
