Review of Night Shift

Here is another of Ron Howard's earlier movies that are on the irreverent side with typical twisted Hollywood values. For the millionth time, we also have the lovable, sentimental women playing hookers (give me a break!) who are helped out in a time of distress by another lovable goof-ball (Michael Keaton) who, of course, has no morals, either. That's why he's portrayed as someone to root for, as is our old pal "Fonzi" from "Happy Days." Yes, Henry Winkler is here playing another creep whom Howard makes look appealing even though he abandons his nice fiancé for a hooker (Shelly Long). Nowhere in all of this does it indicate Winkler or anyone else is doing the wrong thing.

There were some humorous moments in here, but not a third as many as the hype for this film would have you believe. Overall, just a worthless piece of trash.
