synopsis

Judy, Violet, and Doralee work at the Consolidated Corporation and have problems with their boss. All they can think about is getting revenge…

A good-hearted, simple-minded comedy that will win a place in film history, I suspect, primarily because it contains the movie debut of Dolly Parton. She is, on the basis of this one film, a natural-born movie star, a performer who holds our attention so easily that it’s hard to believe it’s her first film.

Roger Ebert

9 to 5

The way Coleman asserts his masculinity with phrases like ‘cut the balls off the competition,’ and the way our heroic trio works together to sculpt a worker’s paradise – complete with flex-time and day-care facilities – serves as an effective summary of the era’s hot-button issues.
