Night Shift 1982
B+
I remember liking this movies when I saw it, maybe a few years after it originally came out. A friend of mine raved about it and correctly pointed what are still some of the best moments in the movie, mostly involving Michael Keaton. There are some great physical comedy gags and some good lines that still made me laugh out loud. However, the movie is a little dated, including the soft 80's soundtrack. Not all of the humor works and there probably isn't enough to make this a truly great comedy, but the movie is generally entertaining and short enough not to run out of gas. Henry Winkler is good in his role as a meek bureaucrat even though he was still playing the Fonz on Happy Days at the time.
