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?!?

Taking the night shift! - 4 out of 5 (8/8/2000)
If you think about it: It's pretty hard to make a pleasant, good natured comedy about a cathouse run out of the New York City morgue. You have there two pretty good elements that tend towards the queasy side. Yet, when you have Ron Howard at the helm working with a script from Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, it somehow seems to click.
"Night Shift" was one of Howard's rookie efforts and it clicks because of a tight script, good characters, great actors and some genuinely funny moments. One i
