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.Episodes-Bonus Features:Feature - Pan Scan and Widescreen format available.Inside LookCommentary by Producer Bruce Gilbert and actors Jane Fonda Dolly Parton and Dabney ColemanNine @ 25 Featurette10 Deleted ScenesRemembering Collin HigginsGag ReelSinging Nine to Five KaraokeOriginal Theatrical TrailerSystem Requirements:Running Time 110 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG UPC: 024543231523 Manufacturer No: 2233152

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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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: 5 out of 5 stars - 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 comedy. This one succeeds on all levels. Judy (Fonda) has just been dumped by her husband...for his secretary. To pay the bills, she takes a job as (what else?) a secretary at the Consolidated Corporation. No-nonsense office manager Violet (Tomlin) trains Judy and passes on some of her frustration at always getting "leap-frogged" over for promotions by the good-ol'-boys network, headed by her sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical boss, Franklin Hart (Dabney Coleman). Hart's personal secretary, Doralee (Parton), has made no friends in the steno pool because Hart has let it "leak" that the two are having an affair; the rest of the girls shun her for this.

When Violet accidentally pours rat poison into her boss' coffee instead of Skinny & Sweet, the antics begin and the office will never be the same as all 3 girls band together to make some changes.

Casting is amazing; Coleman ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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."
"Don't get hysterical Violet."
"I'm no fool, I killed the boss you think they're not going to fire me for a thing like that?"

"I've got a gun out there in my purse and up to this time I've been forgiving and forgetting, but I"ll get that gun and turn you from a rooster to a hen in one shot!"

And the road rage as the three travel down the dark LA streets with a corpse in the trunk of their big blue Buick! Oh, classic stuff!

At the time of the theatrical presentation, they showed bloopers and gag reels, a retrospective on director/writer Collin Higgins and had one of the co-writers present to talk about. One question that was brought up was whether Fox would make a new DVD version to celebrate the 25th anniversary. The writer, Patricia Resnick thought Fox wasn't even aware it was the 25th anniversary of the film, but lo and behold we get the Sexist, Egotistical, ... Read More
