Nicholas B 9 to 5 is a fantastic five-star comedy that I absolutely loved. The trio of Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin brings humor, charm, and sharp wit to a story filled with workplace rebellion and empowerment. The film’s mix of comedy, satire, and feel-good moments kept me entertained the whole way through. A true classic that delivers laughs and heart in equal measure. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review The Upside D Forget movie--this film was an absolute movement! From quick writing, to hidden subtlety, to outlandish coincidences! With three main characters that most every woman can relate to, in terms of personality and social standing. For the time--the 1980s it--does a fantastic job with representation, with many minorities playing supporting roles(that do NOT exist to help them, but as actual people with their own lives), dealing with the stigma around rehabilitation, in a lesser sub-plot. Not to mention the frustrations of the everyday working woman are shown clearly, presenting the viewer with an ultimatum: "Will you finally understand the world?" This is not just a movie. This is a story, about all of our stories. Any critc that doesn't focus on the moral of this movie is missing the point entirely, and choosing to ignore real-word issues.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Farah R Fonda, Tomlin, and Parton elevate this timeless comedy whose themes are still resonant today. With a witty script and fantastic performances, it's easy to lay back and enjoy the ride. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review William G I was 10 years old when this came out, and I thought it was great. Having seen it recently, I thought parts of it were kind of boring. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Jeff M I think most of us have that small handful of ride-or-die movies, the cinematic equivalent of our best friends. They are the movies that are always there for us no matter what, and they consistently seem to have the knack to help us dust ourselves off, pick ourselves up and start all over again. This is one of those movies for me and has been for decades. And after my latest screening, it just keeps getting better and better. There's not a single thing I would change, and each viewing makes me appreciation certain aspects more. This time I marveled over the underrated comic performance of Fonda. Tomlin is the glue that holds it all together and Parton was the fresh comic find that caught our attention, but Fonda has a lot of really marvelous moments here and some truly classic line readings, particularly in a scene with her ex-husband where she talks about smoking pot and doing "M&Ms". And kudos also to Dabney Coleman who makes the smarmiest of bosses somehow likable. And his turnabout in Parton's dream sequence really illustrates his versatility. I could write pages and paragraphs about how I adore this film, but like our best friends, sometimes a simple "I love you" is all that is needed. (P.S. if you watch this on DVD, be sure and listen to the audio commentary track as well with all three ladies and producer Bruce Gilbert) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
