They entertain wild fantasies to get even through a series of outrageous incidents. When the film first came to theaters in 1980, it was a huge hit not just because of the quality of the film but because of the subject matter of women being treated fairly in the workplace. Dolly Parton's theme song was nominated for an Academy Award. [More]

So-so office revenge comedy that seems way overpraised in retrospect.

9 to 5 works as a wish-fulfillment satire on male chauvinism.

Gets off to a great start but loses its taste for revenge toward the end.

Guilty pleasure. I'm sorry, but Lily Tomlin as a demented Snow White, complete with animated birdies? Rock!
