 | one of the funniest movies I've ever seen..a true comedy classic..a Ron Howard film with Michael Keaton, et al.
Richard Belzer plays a tough, non-comedic role. Some classic lines like:
"nice frame".
I highly recommend this film. Although it's over 20 years old, it's still funny. |

| Ron Howards jump from good boy image to this film is wonderful. Billy Blazejowski is one of the funniest characters on film. Michael Keatons film debut. Good hearted, not raunchy, but good laughs that have you rewinding so you don't miss the next scene. To see the Fonz as a wimp is gratifying. My fav. scene, Billy posing for his mugshots. Too funny. Pick this dvd up and enjoy a honest, funny flick that hits the funnybone. Todays standards this would be PG 13, no bad language, a quick glimpse of breasts, big deal, one hell of a funny film. "Why not just feed the tuna fish mayo?...Call Starkist." Enjoy, you won't be let down. |

| First of all, I need to say that this movie is a classic. It's got everything you could want from a plot like it has. Winkler and Keaton are fantastic in their roles. The music is great and just overall a good movie to check out. Now I know people tell me Costner is in the morgue frat party scene but I can't seem to find him. Could someone tell me what part exactly to look at. I didn't think it would be that difficult to spot him but he must only be in the movie for a few seconds. Anyway, if someone could let us know that would be great. So, if you're looking for a classic comedy and havn't seen this, I recommened it. |

| This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and a keeper. Michael Keaton's "Billy Blaze", a ne'er-do-well entrepreneur, is hilarious and his antics are fast-paced and manic ("Note to self: CALL STARKIST"). Henry Winkler's metamorphosis from Superwimp into Superman is a relief ("YOU'RE GONNA PLAY TENNIS WITH GOD!") Shelley Long's portrayal of a hooker is great. Cameo includes Clint Howard (Ron Howard's brother) as a dorky high-school kid looking for a prom-night ride for him and his girl in a limo, ANY limo, even the City Morgue's hearse! See it with someone you can laugh with until your sides hurt. |

| I haven't seen this movie in 20 years, but it has still stayed with me. It's one of those blessedly funny films that you can watch while your brain is on autopilot.Ron Howard has really created a fine comedy here. Chuck works as a director in the local morgue. He's a good guy, but he's as stiff and uptight as the corpses. Yet he has a decent-paying day job and a loyal, if shrewish and carping, fiancee. If he can put aside bad sandwiches and aggressive dogs, it's not a bad life. All that changes when he's bumped from his cozy day shift at the morgue -- the plum job has gone to his employer's nephew -- to the night shift to work with Bob, his diametric opposite. Brash, loudmouthed, and annoying, Chuck can barely tolerate him. Chuck, however, forms a friendship with a kind prostitute named Belinda, and with the death of her pimp, he agrees to implement one of Bob's wild schemes: to run an escort service for Belinda and her sister prostitutes out of the morgue. Everybody's happy and making lots of money until a prominent pimp, who is peeved at missing out on a piece of the action, pays Chuck and Bob a visit. This is a fine and very entertaining movie. Check out the theme song from the short-lived early-80's pop band Quarterflash! |
