Review of Nine to Five (1980) by Cityofgeek — 10 Feb 2020
I’m glad to finally see this fondly-remember comedy, but of course heard the Academy-Award nominated song from Dolly Parton a zillion times (including it’s use in the R-cut of Deadpool 2; didn’t make it into the PG-13 cut).
Anyway, I really loved this, and wish I had seen it earlier. A wonderful take down of sexist bigoted corporate culture with three amazing leads. Dolly Parton in her first role would have easily stolen it if not for Tomlin and Fonda both feeding off her energy.
everyone’s timing and tone is just perfect. The sequence around body-stealing (something I didn’t expect to find in this) had me rolling.
