Plot: Judy Bernly (Jane Fonda), a housewife whose husband has left her for his secretary, begins her own secretarial career at a huge corporation. Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin), a feisty, veteran office manager, instructs her on the perils and procedures of office life -- and of working for Franklin Hart Jr. (Dabney Coleman), their chauvinistic, sleazy boss, and his right-hand woman, the crisp, nosy Roz (Elizabeth Wilson). Meanwhile, Hart's endless attempts to seduce his happily married secretary, Doralee Rhodes (Dolly Parton), lead the entire office to think she's a trollop. When Hart unfairly passes Violet over for a promotion, she drowns her sorrows at a local bar with Judy and Doralee, who regales the others with tales of Hart's epic advances. Later, at Doralee's house, the women smoke pot, eat barbecue, and concoct hilarious revenge fantasies -- a rodeo hog-tie, a Wild West shootout, and a gothic Snow White scenario -- about killing their boss. When a mix-up leads the women to think they have accidentally poisoned Hart's coffee, they hatch a scheme to protect themselves by stealing Hart's body from the morgue. When he turns up alive, never having drunk the coffee, they must kidnap him to prevent him from blackmailing them or calling the police. The women then use the occasion of their boss' absence to effect some changes around the office. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

Still funny but how things have changed

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.

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.

Classic Dolly!
Added 9/1/2009

I don't think I'd ever seen Dolly Parton in a movie before. What a charmer, and easy on the eyes! And I am not 'a fan' either, I couldn't name one of her songs - oh yeah! - 9 to 5. I found the movie started off kind of slow but got it's footing after about 40 minutes and didn't let up afterward - great fun, and you get to see Dolly Parton at the height of her career in all her glory - and it is glorious! Nice personality too. Seriously!
