Nine to Five- The film debut of Dolly Parton's boobs.

I'm gonna skip around instead of going in order.  Gotta wait for Netflix to send me some movies :) 

Okay.  So Nine to Five.  What the hell.  This movie is absolutely insane.  Attempted murder, kidnapping, embezzlement, stealing a dead body, fraud, and it's sold as an empowering girl buddy comedy?  Did I feel empowered after watching this movie?  Kind of.  Not steal a dead body empowered, but angry like in a feminist way.  Was it funny?  Kind of.  Do I love Dolly Parton?  Yes.  I watch Steel Magnolias about once a week but that's not on the list for some ungodly reason.  

Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton might be the perfect triplet of actresses I never knew I wanted or needed.  Parton's got the looks, Tomlin has the brains, and Fonda can talk really fast and act hysterical.  PERFECT. MOVIE MAGIC. 

What pisses me off is that the issues about women in the workplace that this movie tackles, still exist today.  This movie was released in 1980.  That's 33 years ago.  Women still don't get equal pay, they still get shit about having to work their schedule around their kids, and they are still passed over for promotions in favor of men.  Maternity pay is basically non-existent so women basically have to work until they pop and then once they push the kid out they go right back to work.  I wish Fonda, Tomlin, and Parton would make a sequel where they just say "Come, on!  Seriously, society?!  This is still happening???" for about 2 hours.  I guess they need to kidnap some more bosses to set this shit straight.  

Also, I'd like to point out that despite technology being what it is today I don't think Xerox machines have become any more efficient.  So if anything, this is a call for Xerox to get their shit together and make a copier that doesn't jam.  Thank you.  Us women who are forced to make copies all day because god forbid a man touch the machine, greatly appreciate it. 

Funny-o-meter: 5/10

P.S. If anyone's interested the Eddie Murphy version of The Nutty Professor is on watch instantly on netflix.  The Jerry Lewis version apparently just doesn't exist anywhere anymore.  I'm gonna need a time machine. Why isn't the Eddie Murphy version the one that's on this list?!  I hate AFI.
