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

One of my all time favorite classics February 6, 2010 shannon fox (Texas) It's fun to watch now especially in light of technological advances in the office - how cumbersome the technology of the day seemed, from handling multi-line phones to the monster of a copy machine. Have work place policies improved women's experiences at work? I believe so to a point, at least in protection from sexual harassment, but to me the glass ceiling seems very much in place still, with it's inequities and pay and promotions, etc. This is a fun-to-watch, get-even fantasy.
9 to 5 reminds me of my own place of work! January 23, 2010 BUFFY/CHARMED/Star Wars Finatic! (RHODE ISLAND) Some really good campy films came out in the early 80's---Fast Times at Ridgemount High, Repo Man, Airplane and 9 to 5...9 to 5 had a great cast of the very funny Lily Tomlin, a great performance by Country Singer Dolly Parton and a surprising portayal of character "Judy Bernley" by Jane Fonda.
This movie, made 20 years ago, shows what goes on in a large corporate company when it is managed by IDIOTS---computers may have replaced typewriters, but butt kissing jerks still find their way up the food chain to make workplaces miserable. There's also Roz--the company spy, and the gossip mill with poeple of the office thinking Dolly--the boss' secretary--is sleeping with him.
After a "great" day at the office, 3 women get ticked off, leave early and head to the local bar (sounds like where I work, except heaven forbid you leave the office early without being docked and given a warning for leaving early unexpectedly.) From there, they go back to Dolly's house and dream up ways to off the boss. The next day, the roller coaster begins with the funny lady trio thinking they posioned the boss, mistakenly stealing a stiff from the hospital thinking their boss died, then kidnapping the boss, and in the meantime, making changes in the office for the best and improving efficienty--and of course the boss gets the credit!
This movie is funny from start to finish and is definately a classic!! I recomend it for anyone to watch!
Classy Classic November 1, 2009 Reader (U.S.A.) Could watch it every year if there weren't so many movies to watch. Great comedy!! Classic Actresses/Actors
Still funny but how things have changed September 27, 2009 mskrisclark (home) I have always enjoyed this film.
Even like the famous song. And, it is still catchy all these years later.
I think the cast were perfect in their roles.
Course, in this day in age, a lot of the thing the Franklin Hart character & the company did would NOT be stood for now.
Good but normal extras with it.
Did NOT like when putting the disc in you do NOT go automatically to the menu but to LOUD ADVERTISING MUSIC. NOT GOOD ON ANY DISC & GOES AGAINST WHAT THE THEME OF THE FILM.
The picture quality needs some work. For a "special edition" release the picture quality was dull.
Fully of classic one line quotes you'll be laughing for ages. September 24, 2009 Curt Remmel (New York) This has to be a true classic movie for anybody. Parton, Fonda, Tomlin play the three main characters set in a big business office block, "Consolidated". Dolly Parton is excellent, portraying the country girl, Jane Fonda as the divorced housewife's first job role, and Lily Tomlin as the bosses stepping stone. The film is full of one line crack jokes which can be missed on the first time you watch it. Do watch the movie a few times, and soon you'll pick up on how funny the lines are "Violet, did you get my Memo?", "I did Roz, I tore right through it". Later in the film the plot is well underway and animation is combined successfully with Tomlin's scene of a Snow White type character! I loved this film, and my laserdisc copy is always on the top of the pile. A good all rounder to be watched over and over, and I sometimes find myself using those punch lines. Dolly Parton provides the "9 to 5" opening music, which sets the movie off to a good pace.
