Night Shift
Ever Since Two Enterprising Young Men Turned The City Morgue Into A Swinging Business, People Have Been Dying To Get In.
The world of Wall Street drove Charles Lumley III up the wall. His new job at the New York City Morgue is much quieter - until Billy "Blaze" Blazejowski arrives one night. An idea man with more solutions than there are problems, Billy has a cool idea on how to liven things up. Night Shift is a breakneck comedy rife with ideas, mostly hysterical. Henry Winkler is low-key Lumley in a delightfully offbeat performance. Shelley Long also scores in a role light years from prim barmaid Diane (Cheers). But the casting triumph is Michael Keaton in his movie debut as Billy Blaze, launching a rich career. Is this a great country or what?!?

This movie has a late night cable feel to it, like something that might play on AMC after hours. Neither great nor terrible, just is what it is. Give it a shot I suppose. You probably won't hate it, but you won't love it either. It's kind of inbetween both areas.Could've been better, could've been worse - nelsonlonigan
Visually, I liked this, but I found the film underwhelming. Michael Keaton has had better roles. His character was annoying and over-the-top.

Simply put, this movie is casted with a bunch of good comedy actors who play their specific roles well. Winkler and Keaton combo pull off a good one two punch. Not a side of Ron Howard I would expect to see for a director role. Pleasantly surprised!
