InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

2001ASOfan Here it is 2017, 37 years after this film was made, and, while seeing a revival this week in a local multiplex was a mostly joyous, hilarious experience (all four leads and the script are terrifically funny, and the film holds up truly well), I was reminded that men like Dabney Coleman's character are very much alive and just as prevalent in modern day--nothing much has changed in the business (or political) world in those 37 years. That part was depressing. But since laughter truly is the best medicine, "9 to 5" is one way to deal with the insanity in a healthy way, and remind viewers that sometimes you have to fight back on the same level of nastiness that the perpetrator puts out! Here the purge of the women's frustration is outlined in some hilariously over-the-top healthy fantasies--marijuana-driven scenes that have Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Jane Fonda dreaming of how they'd rid their lives of an evil, despicable boss, with none of them seriously thinking they would actually get their revenge in such violent (and very, very funny) ways. However, a case of mistaken-packaging-identity has them thinking they may have actually put their boss' demise in motion. It all plays out in an upbeat and, again, hilarious way, and it made me realize there aren't that many truly funny adult-themed PG-ish rated comedies made these days. I miss 'em! I loved all three women, and their eventual camaraderie is truly energizing and fun to be a part of, and Dabney Coleman makes a great evil boss. I still have some of Dolly's zingers ringing in my head days after viewing, particularly one about how Coleman's character needs to be taken down by some hired rustlers--her combination of innocence and fire is one of the reasons her popularity remains strong 37 years later!

[email protected] Jane, Lily, Dolly and Dabney Coleman have fun in this classic comedy and so will you. It's not about unionization of the work place. That came a little later. But female office workers of a certain age will remember the humiliations inflicted on them by their male bosses and maybe the role played by female tattle tales. We watched 9 to 5 in streaming video and three of us had a good time doing so. The chase scenes with a dead body (mistaken identity) is especially hilarious. All three of the female leads are splendid. I'm not sure, however, that Dabney Coleman doesn't steal the show as their hateful boss. It was a life-saving diversion from all those election ads which we see because we're next door to a swing state. Neither of the Presidential candidates bothered campaigning in Maryland, among the bluest of the blue states. As the most recent of the GOP candidates for governor explained, they've got the organization, they've got the money, they've got the message. What they haven't got is the voters.

SmileysWorld If have ever worked in an office atmosphere,felt undue pressures from your bosses and fantasized about getting revenge,or just want to have some good laughs,Nine to Five is for you.It's just one of those films where all of those people that are entrusted to bring forth a great finished product went above and beyond.It is excellently written,casted,and acted.You would expect seasoned veterans like Dabney Coleman,Lily Tomlin,and Jane Fonda to deliver,which they do,but the biggest surprise was Dolly Parton,in her first film,proving to us that her talents were not limited to her singing.Fortunately,her great singing talents were made part of the mix,and that makes it all the better.

Jackson Booth-Millard The title song I have obviously heard many times on the radio, on television and in films, it is probably the only one know I really know from the famous country and western singer, I was interested to see the film that the song came from, and the acting debut for the singer. Basically at Consolidated Companies, three female office workers, secretary Judy Bernly (Jane Fonda), senior office supervisor Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin) and fellow secretary Doralee Rhodes (twice Golden Globe nominated Dolly Parton) have had enough with their boss. The company boss Franklin M. Hart Jr. (Dabney Coleman) is a sleazy, selfish, sexist, misogynist pig who takes advantage of all his female employees, and the three colleagues plan to get their revenge on him. There are a couple of instances where they may be contemplating killing him, and there is an accident where they think they do, but they settle instead with simply teaching him a lesson by trapping him in his house, making him see the error of his ways. By the end Hart has very much learnt his lesson to treat women much better, and the end credits say that Judy, Violet and Doralee went on to better careers and stuff. Also starring The Asphalt Jungle's Sterling Hayden as Russell Tinsworthy, Elizabeth Wilson as Roz Keith, Henry Jones as Mr. Hinkle, Lawrence Pressman as Dick Bernly, Marian Mercer as Missy Hart and Renn Woods as Barbara. The three female stars all do their vengeful characters as well as they can, the one that stands out for me is indeed Parton, and Coleman is a good choice to be the bastard mistreating them, I will admit it is not the funniest and most original film, it isn't such a bad comedy though. It was nominated the Oscar for Best Song for Parton's title song (also nominated the Golden Globe). Worth watching!
