- Synopsis:
- In this witty, satirical farce, secretaries Doralee Rhodes (Dolly Parton), Judy Bernly (Jane Fonda) and office manager Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin) live every female worker's dream after discovering they share the same resentment towards their egotistical, sexist boss (Dabney Coleman).

Wonderful feelgood feminist film from the 80s - 9 to 5 review by CP Customer
I love this film - it's funny but with some serious undertones, particularly relevant in the #MeToo era.
The trippy mid section is a little overlong - but when the action kicks in in the second act it's a blast!
The female leads are great but it's Dabney Coleman who steals the show as the Sexist, Egotistical, Lying, Hypocritical Bigot!
