Night Shift The Rewatchables

No clear individual apex

Michael Keaton is rejected as at apex but his debut is treated as an extraordinary leap and his funniest film performance. Henry Winkler, Shelley Long, Ron Howard, and Barney Rubble are rejected as apex cases. Idea men and early-1980s entrepreneurial New York are considered plausible period apexes. Sex-worker comedies are assigned Risky Business rather than Night Shift. Morticians are assigned Six Feet Under; Jumpin’ Jack Flash is rejected.
