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.

| 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. |

| 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! |

"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. |
