Swing Shift isn't boring, but nothing in it startles, nothing explodes.
December 31, 2019 | Full Review… -
At its heart lies a sweet romance, with good performances from both the leads and an Oscar nomination for supporting actress Lahti.

Swing Shift tries ... to twist some consequence out of a tawdry adulterous tryst by a couple of self-centered sneaks. But the writing and acting are too flat for the challenge.

Hawn, atypically cast and supported by all-round excellent performances, proves that she can act.
February 9, 2006 | Full Review… -
There's no suspense and no big emotional payoff, but the movie is always absorbing.
October 23, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
Offers Miss Hawn her best role since ''Private Benjamin,'' and she is most winning.

Audience Reviews for Swing Shift

May 04, 2009Nice period feeling and an interesting premise that doesn't get a lot of attention, womens role in the workplace during WWII. They should have focused on that and left the weak love story out and would have been a better film. The other problem is that Goldie's and Russell's characters are not really people you feel much empathy for, she's spoiled and selfish and he's really rather a jerk. Christine Lahti however steals every second she's on screen and has the character you care about the most.jay n Super Reviewer

Jun 02, 2007Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and Christine Lahti shine in their portrayal of those left behind to build the US war machine while the able-bodied men are off fighting WWII. Ed Harris and Holly Hunter co-star as Goldie's husband and co-worker, respectively.Moe E Super Reviewer
