Year: 1982 Director: Ron Howard Starring: Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton, Shelley Long Special Features: Interactive menus, Scene access Video Format: A: Standard; B: Widescreen Sound: English: Dolby Surround 2.0; Subtitles: English, French Region Coding: 1 (U.S. and Canada) Amazon.com essential video: Ron Howard's breakthrough film as a director launched Michael Keaton as a screen comic. In this film, he is teamed with a hangdog Henry Winkler as a pair of night attendants at a city morgue. Thinking entrepreneurially, Keaton (as the flakier half of the team) convinces a reluctant Winkler that they could kill two birds with one stone and use their quiet surroundings to start a call-girl business. The first girl in the stable of these unlikely pimps: Shelley Long, pre-Cheers. Given the rather tasteless subject matter (ever really met a happy hooker?), it's surprisingly good fun, ignited by the chemistry between the nebbish Winkler and the jet-propelled Keaton, who seized this role and used it to shoot him to stardom--and into several years of stinkers. Meanwhile, the film was supposed to help Winkler segue from the Fonz on Happy Days to a career acting in movies, but whatever happened to him? --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Funny FlickI didn't know about this movie before meeting my husband, but I really enjoyed it the first time I saw it. It was very entertaining and quirky. Not your typical comedy. Rating:  - Good, fun movie!!!Saw this movie when it first came out YEARS ago and laughed like crazy! Still packs the same comedic punch! Rating: - "This is Chuck reminding Bill to SHUT UP!!"I'm surprised by the number of people that can quote Animal House and Caddy Shack inside and out, but never saw this movie. The other 5-Star reviews do a great job capturing the fun and charm of this movie, which at it's heart is a romantic comedy, but don't let that fool you! Keaton, Winkler and Long make a wonderfully endearing and hilarious team. Darn good little story too-- well crafted and doesn't fizzle at the end like most comedic movies do. And if I had to pick just one comedy ...

Funny, captivating, and too bad it isn't legal. Legalize polygamy and prostitution and we'd have less wars for oil and more smiling men. Rating: - Love this old classic...What can you say about this move but awesome. loved it then, love it now. Browse for similar items by category:
