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 Chris T Utterly hilarious, vastly head of its time female stoner office comedy from 1980. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Alicia F One of my all time favourite films. Pitch perfect. Laugh out loud hilarious and a feminist trailblazer. Love those women, their witty take downs and camaraderie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Tic Toc M Very good and very funny, and also groundbreaking. It's hilarious watching all the triggered thumbsuckers whining about this movie, diaperboys who have a bug up their butts about women (usually because they can't attract any, at least not anyone of quality), but it's well-acted, well-scripted, well-done. Dabney Coleman is fantastic, the three leads are fantastic.....even Sterling Hayden makes an appearance in this movie, I was shocked to discover that upon a recent rewatch. The movie is as timely now as ever....and it's also got a great theme song. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Dennis V This is one of my all-time favorite movies. This shows the disparities women face in the workforce through comedy and toughness and tender moments. This shows ultimately how we get through anything as people when we stick together and take a stand for what's right.
