Night Shift (1982)

Funny Flick

I didn't know about this movie before meeting my husband, but I really enjoyed it the first time I saw it. It was very entertaining and quirky. Not your typical comedy. September 22, 2008

Good, fun movie!!!

Saw this movie when it first came out YEARS ago and laughed like crazy! Still packs the same comedic punch! July 17, 2008

Pros Tit u Tion

I remember seeing this movie when it first came out in 1982 and it made quite an impact on a 14 year old.
This movie is so hilarious yet it contains a big heart.
Michael Keaton plays Billy Blaze who's this wild idea man and his comic antics are non stop and flat out off the wall hilarious.
Henry Winkler plays a wimpy loser whos nerve's were so out of wack that he had to leave wall street to work at the city morgue.
Anyway, the two of them end up working together and the nuttiness begins as Bill (Keaton) goes on a mission to "make Chuck a man!"
Night Shift is well written,sexy,funny,warm hearted and the cast could not be bettered.
This is topped by a wonderful soundtrack that features Al Jarraeu,The Rolling Stones, Van Halen, and Rod Stewart doing the original version of the Bachrach classic "That's what friends are for".
So if you're looking for a crazy fun escape from all your troubles then spend a night at the morgue with chuck and bill and get ready to party but be prepared to hold this movie close to your heart for an eternity.

"This is Chuck reminding Bill to SHUT UP!!"

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. February 27, 2008

Keaton Sparkles

Michael Keaton is 2/3's of the show, ably supported by Da Fonz, add Eddie Murphy,and an interesting concept and you wish them well. Funny, captivating, and too bad it isn't legal. Legalize polygamy and prostitution and we'd have less wars for oil and more smiling men. August 22, 2007
