thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores, e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Audience Member I liked this movie a lot, unfortunately this movie suffers from the same thing most 80’s do. A lack of guts. If it had ended with Chuck losing everything after giving it his all and letting loose, it would have been much more profound. Similar to goodfellas I guess. Of course at the end, he gets the girl or whatever. Happy endings are nice though, so I can’t be too upset. Keaton wasn’t all that good. Shelley Long played Belinda perfectly though, Ron Howard didn’t do bad at all. A decent little 80’s comedy. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review ed m I liked this back in the '80's but it doesn't hold up. Incredibly average. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Carol P I saw this movie years ago when it was initially released and watched it again tonight. I remembered a few of the classic lines "feed the tuna mayonnaise" and "Barney Rubble; what an actor", but until rewatching it, I had forgotten just how outrageously funny Michael Keaton and Henry Winkler are. But this movie is more than funny. Its a warm, sweet story of a pushover (Winkler), his new coworker (Keaton) and the the woman (Shelly Long) who loves him. This is definite MUST SEE. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Alan J. S One of Michael Keatons greatest movies! I laughed non stop. It's to bad that they don't make movies like this anymore… Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Taking the Night Shift maybe isn't so bad Longtime collaborators director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer make a wacky 1980s sex comedy a bit unorthodox starring a young Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton, and Shelly Long Belinda is a street hooker who's pimp ends up dead, the doctor Chuck is in charge but his boss's nephew is assigned as his new partner, Bill Chuck used to be a stockbroker but found the job too overwhelming Bill is always on the lookout for easy cash A self-proclaimed “idea man” constantly brainstorming can’t-miss innovations into a handheld tape recorder His friend just happens to be Belinda who needs a work space so of course he lets her use Chuck's work station A morgue gets turned into a brothel of all things The film is a competent if somewhat pedestrian affair Chuck prefers a solemn quiet existence with stability and his fiancé who is neurotic yet Bill can't help but be exited and boisterous You actually understand why Bill is the way he is considering his how his parents raised him Sure this is full of 1980's stereotypes to the core but Winkler and Keaton are a likable budding pair It's got that sitcom feel to it too and can't help but have a glib of an anti-feminist spin to Chuck’s journey of self-actualization that sours Night Shift in retrospect The ending is rushed too Still Keaton's zestful energy keeps things alive and the whole experience lets Chuck learn to not be scared anymore Howard's zippy direction makes the film work if not stand out from others of the crowd The characters have enough attention with comic staging and acting thanks to both Howard and Grazer A likable if not entirely flawless comedy Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
