Three sexually harrassed office co-workers (Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton & Lily Tomlin) serve (with much reluctance and resentment) a large corporation's chauvinist, sexist, harassing boss (Dabney Coleman). The boss has led the co-workers to believe that his personal secretary (Dolly Parton) is his mistress. The huge office of employees therefore snub her even though she's hurt by it and is a faithful wife who is forever escaping all of her harassing boss's heathen sexual advances. When Tomlin confronts Parton about this mistress bit, Parton goes off in her film debut. The trio decide to go out for a drink and wind up at Fonda's home smoking a joint Tomlin's son gave her. Once the three women are disinhibited by the effects of the alcohol and pot, they begin to share their fantasies about how to pay back their sexually harassing boss. Their fantasies are hysterically funny, and all that follows is true comedy, led by Tomlin, whose comedian's timing is perfect. The three become a combined force to reckon with. Let's just say it politely (as Fonda's character would) and call it a women standing up for women comedy that goes way beyond pale of liberation and daringly close to divine revenge. The 9 to 5 theme song that became a hit was Parton's and nominated for an Oscar. Parton's film debut, especially doing comedy aside two great actresses, is a real stunner where she proved without a doubt she could act.Read full review

A funny, feminist comedy about getting back at the evil, male boss. Pretty funny stuff and it's got three familiar chicks in it that pull the whole thing off pretty well. Dolly Parton is at her bosom best in this one and the other two broads aren't bad either.

So what happens when your boss makes every day of your life miserable? You can't kill him, but you can certainly fantasize about it. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton do just that in this hysterical comedy of three secretaries who, after each has reached their limit with his treachery, bond together as friends and have a fantasy about how each would kill the boss. Unfortunately, their fantasies become reality when they are overheard talking about misunderstandings of events in the ladies room and this news is relayed to their boss. When he tries to use the information to his advantage, their fantasies play out causing them to have to keep him restrained in his own home until they can find and secure their own defensive information that would mean certain termination for their boss should the chairman of the board find out. Through artful scheming, they manage to keep the boss and his executive administrative assistant at bay until a surprise twist sets him free. The showdown becomes a beatdown with the boss reaping his just reward and the three secretaries find their own brand of happiness in the end. This is a marvelous film, suitable for most ages. Be sure to see the featurette 9 @ 25 and the tribute to Colin Higgins.Read full review
