Amazon.com: With a nod to Preston Sturges's classic dark comedy Unfaithfully Yours (about a man who fantasizes about murdering his possibly philandering wife), this 1980 cotton-candy-feminist-vendetta film concerns a monstrous boss (Dabney Coleman) whose more capable underlings dream of ways of punishing him. That much of the film is particularly fun, but the rest of it descends into silliness when the women stumble onto a real-life opportunity to teach him a lesson. Fonda, the biggest star in the film at the time, takes a back seat to Parton's and Tomlin's showier roles. Written and directed by the late Colin Higgins (who made a lot of people happy in the '70s with his script for the beloved Harold and Maude). --Tom Keogh

Rating: - One of the BEST comedies of all time!
There is NOTHING negative about 9 to 5. It is simply one of the best movies ever made! Dolly is precious; Lily is a stitch; and Jane, while I dislike her politics,is hilarious! Dabney Coleman is at his usual comedic best; and the supporting cast are all simply fabulous! The film is funny from start to finish and will be a cult classic for many decades; it is FUNNY! So get it soon and laugh out loud every time you watch it!
Rating: - 9 to 5 - Sexist, Egotistical, Lying Hypocritical Bigot Edition
Even though the office equipment used in this movie has gone out of style, the comedy still packs a punch! This special edition DVD also has some nice extras celebrating the most famous office comedy of the bunch. What a combo! Fonda, Tomlin, and Parton...who could have ever imagined that one (watch the DVD and you'll see how Fonda herself came up with the casting one enchanted evening).
When this movie was made (1980), the office secretary had no respect. As Fonda points out in the DVD's featurette, the best way to address serious issues and get them out to a large audience is through ... Read More
Rating: - Welcome Back Ladies
A few years ago I went to the 25th Anniversary screening of one of my all time favorite movies 9 To 5. It was held at the Egyptian Theater and it was loaded with a bunch of gay boys and gals reciting lines! It was one of the most surreal movie experiences I've encountered. When I was but a wee boy, Cinemax ran 9 To 5 nonstop and I swear I must've watched the movie every single time it aired.
Classic lines and scenarios abound in this rather topical comedy -
"I'm a murderer"
"No, you're not."
"I'm a murderess."
"They're going to fire me for this."
