Amazon.com:
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

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Movie: 9 to 5
The price was very good. The product was verified as being sold to me very quickly. Delivery was made to my U.S. address very quickly (within about 4 days). Excellent service!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of my all time favorite classics
It's fun to watch now especially in light of technological advances in the office - how cumbersome the technology of the day seemed, from handling multi-line phones to the monster of a copy machine. Have work place policies improved women's experiences at work? I believe so to a point, at least in protection from sexual harassment, but to me the glass ceiling seems very much in place still, with it's inequities and pay and promotions, etc. This is a fun-to-watch, get-even fantasy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 9 to 5 reminds me of my own place of work!
Some really good campy films came out in the early 80's---Fast Times at Ridgemount High, Repo Man, Airplane and 9 to 5...9 to 5 had a great cast of the very funny Lily Tomlin, a great performance by Country Singer Dolly Parton and a surprising portayal of character "Judy Bernley" by Jane Fonda.

This movie, made 20 years ago, shows what goes on in a large corporate company when it is managed by IDIOTS---computers may have replaced typewriters, but butt kissing jerks still find their ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classy Classic
Could watch it every year if there weren't so many movies to watch. Great comedy!! Classic Actresses/Actors



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 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 ... Read More
