Producer review

Night Shift The Rewatchables

Positive

The producer calls the film charming, funny, heartfelt, and consistently watchable. Michael Keaton's performance balances awkwardness, irritation, lovability, and pathos without exhausting the audience. Keaton is proposed as a plausible Michael Scott because of that balance. Shelley Long is praised, with a wish that the movie gave her more comedy. Belinda's morgue dialogue is singled out as funny before Keaton takes over the movie. Charlotte's rigid parents are praised as comic supporting characters. The discussion closes by considering Keaton in several Tom Hanks and Robin Williams roles.
