| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Night Shift |
|---|
The night shift at the City Morgue consists of Chuck, the unassuming mild-mannered, used-to-be stockbroker and Bill, the wild man, with his own hangups, but really just a fun guy. Thus begins our wild adventure into the hilarious world of pimps and prostitution through the eyes of these two misfits. Except for the fact that our meek hero and his hormones have fallen in love with the hooker and is too shy to share his feelings; we have a simple and funny rags to riches story about an ex-stockbroker, body-watcher, and pimp.
