Straight-laced Henry Winkler takes a night-shift job as a morgue attendant. His life takes a bizarre turn when a prostitute neighbour complains about the loss of her pimp, leaving her and many of her hooker friends pimp-less and thus unprotected by the unpredictability of their johns.

'Love brokers!' Still Michael Keaton's best role.March 21, 2004
This isn't as snappily directed or as caustically conceived as the subsequent Risky Business, which has a similar theme, but it's arguably just as sexy and almost as funny.October 28, 2016
Ron Howard's first bona fide hit...January 26, 2006
Likeable.October 23, 2008
Oft fun comedy noted for its boost to Michael Keaton's career; early Ron Howard direction.December 12, 2003
Howard's first great film. Should have made Winkler a movie star, but alas....September 18, 2003
When Michael Keaton's onscreen it's wildly entertaining.November 16, 2004
Keaton's first major role marked him for stardom; and also added to Howard's newly forming directorial stature.October 21, 2005
This early Ron Howard comedy has no shortage of laugh-out-loud moments thanks to Michael Keaton's unforgettable screen debut as manic wildman Bill Blazejowski.January 01, 2000
Dated comedy offers very little in the chuckle department, with even less in narrative obstruction, but remains interesting only for the early work of now-famed director Ron Howard.August 30, 2004
This is a halfway funny movie, one that's got loads of good gags in its first half and nothing but trouble in its second.February 05, 2008
Winkler turns in the best performance of his career, and Keaton is wonderful.
