Movie Reviews of 9 to 5 - Sexist, Egotistical, Lying Hypocritical Bigot Edition - Widescreen
Movie Review: "A True Comedy Classic That Made Dolly A Movie Star!"
Summary: 5 Stars
"9 to 5" became the third highest grossing film of 1981 and propelled Dolly Parton to movie star status. Not only was it her first movie, but many ardent Dolly fans have said it was her best work on film. The film garnered Miss Parton an Oscar nomination as Best Original Song, as well as two Grammys.
Jane Fonda wanted to do a film about female office workers who get back at their egotistical and arrogant boss. Patricia Resnick, who also wrote Dolly's film "Straight Talk", penned the "9 to 5" script. It was through Jane's production company that "9 to 5" was produced. Jane knew she wanted both Lily Tomlin and Dolly for the roles of the other two secretaries that she would be playing alongside, and the result was one of the best trios ever in movie making. Their chemistry is right on, and as a result "9 to 5" has gone on to be a Hollywood classic. The script by Resnick is near perfect, and the supoorting roles, most notably Dabney Coleman who plays the boss Mr. Hartt, is superb. Sit back and enjoy a true funny and hilarious movie that has never aged, despite being made in 1980.
Dolly is also producing a Broadway production called "9 to 5 -The Musical", in which she wrote the entire score, and the script has been written by Patricia Resnick. The musical opens on April 30, 2009.
The DVD release features commentary with all the female stars-Parton, Fonda, and Tomlin, and its great hearing them talk about the making of "9 to 5". Their commentary lasts for the duration of the movie, as the stars were watching the entire film while giving their anecdotes and opinions on the picture.

Summary of 9 to 5 - Sexist, Egotistical, Lying Hypocritical Bigot Edition - Widescreen
In this witty, satirical farce, secretaries Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and office manager Lily Tomlin live every female worker's dream after discovering they share the same resentment towards their egotistical, sexist boss (Dabney Coleman). When they get an unexpected chance to take revenge, they turn their male controlled workplace into a modle office - even as their scheme spins wildly out of control.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
On the DVD
What's on the "Sexist, Egotistical, Lying Hypocritical Bigot Edition" DVD of one of the more enduring comedies of the 1980s? The cast were obviously delighted for the opportunity to travel down memory lane, providing a commentary. Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin recorded their bits in one city while Jane Fonda recorded hers simultaneously in another city, as they watched the movie again together. The three leads--one, Parton, a rookie actress--made for a well-balanced comedic team whose friendship has endured off-screen for 25 years, a friendship that comes across in their banter. A "Nine At 25" featurette finds the cast and producer dishing such tidbits as the fact Parton came to the set having memorized the entire script, everyone else's parts included. A "9 to 5" karaoke feature may entertain depending on how many drinks one has had at the office party, but the words don't always seem in sync with the music.
To celebrate the release of this edition of 9 to 5, the cast, sans Dabney Coleman, reunited in Los Angeles for a party in which Dolly sang the theme song, memories were shared, and actresses dressed as '80s office workers acted busy in cubicles and reception desks.
