Okay, I didn't actually watch the whole movie; I only saw about 30 minutes' worth of Nine to Five before the digital cable went out, but I have to say it was the most fantastic half-hour in recent days. (Imagine what comic ecstasy the full, two-hour screening will yield.)
A Few Things:
-Dolly Parton is one of the cutest and funniest women around. (She threatens her evil pig-headed boss with the gun in her trunk: "I'll change you from a rooster to a hen in one shot!")
-Lily Tomlin's brutal "fantasy" of torturing and murdering the boss, Mr. Hart (Dabney Coleman) the "cute" way, complete with cartoon animals and a Snow White costume is comic genius.
-Dabney Coleman plays a combo of cruelty and comedy with such ease that you'd think they were the same thing.
-A quote so funny that its gotta hold rank with that of any random line from Ghostbusters (1984), a name for the boss: a "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot," spewed with fire from the three demeaned women workers' mouths.
-Note to Self: Watch whole movie soon.
