Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

An older film that I believe it's generation calls a classic. It's a fun movie about bad bosses and sexism in the workplace but takes a strange turn after the ladies smoke pot. Feels like real-life Tom and Jerry. Only major complaint is the pacing was really quite odd, and some of the jokes and things didn't land super well with me. Ended up getting a little bored of it all.If you like 80's comedy this is your Jam.

The first part is a real hoot as cranky office dictator Coleman regiments his mostly female work crew. Get my coffee, he tells underling Tomlin. Never mind that she's at least his equal in business acumen. Then there's busty Parton whose upper orbs succumb to his scheming as she picks up pencils. And pity newly hired Fonda as she learns the submissive ropes in amusingly jittery fashion. In fact, her bungled avalanche with the copy machine may be the movie highlight. Still, Fonda's transformation from nervous newbie to a rebellious leader amounts, I think, to the movie's core. After all, how many other potential leaders lurk among the suppressed rank and file. On the other hand, I can see why chauvinistic men would despise the movie, funny or not. After all, it's really about women folk learning to assert themselves and their overlooked talents.The second part, however, loses comedic edge as the girls duel with Coleman in fitfully funny fashion. Looks like the writers were unsure how to develop Coleman's comeuppance. Nonetheless, the acting remains superb, especially from a surprisingly adept Parton and that great bumbling egotist, Dabney Coleman. Too bad the script also appears unsure how to carry out the feminist rebellion that shines so expertly in the first part.Good to see old timers like the lordly Sterling Hayden and the jowly Henry Jones picking up paydays. And shouldn't overlook Elizabeth Wilson as Coleman's tricky tattletale. She's a wise choice as an office foreman given her stellar performance as a secretary in the Wall Street classic Patterns (1956).All in all, the hundred minutes strikes me as not only generally amusing, but as a key film in the spread of the women's movement, one that continues even today. So, for those who don't mind a message with their laughs, don't miss it.

This classic 1980s women's workplace comedy is one that everyone needs to see at least once at some point in their life. The cast is perfect for their roles. I heard it took Jane Fonda a year to convince lily tomlin and Dolly Parton to do the movie. Boy am I thankful that Jane was so persistent. Jane Fonda plays a newly divorced woman who begins working at the company Lily and Dolly have been working at for a good while, with a boss who's speciality is sexual harassing his female employees and cheating to get rich. One day they all three decide they've had enough of Dabney Coleman's junk and decide to take revenge. The writing is very funny and clever. The writing plus the three main actresses together is what makes this film work. Dabney Coleman is perfect for the role of the sexist disgusting cheating boss, Franklin Hart. The movie makes you care deeply about these women and you just have no other choice but to pull for them. One thing you'll for sure get from the film is entertainment, it's not about heavy drama, it's all about comedy and having some fun. That's what I associate this movie with. Comedy and fun. Comedy, fun and female empowerment. Go out and see this classic comedy lf you haven't already. 10/10.

Colin Higgens directed and wrote this hit comedy that stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton as three office secretaries in a successful firm who must contend with their lecherous and overbearing boss Franklyn Hart(played by Dabney Coleman) who treats them like servants, and wont leave Parton alone(despite being married). The women fantasize about revenge(in a colorful series of vignettes) but unexpectedly get their chance one day, and things will never be the same again... Good cast, especially Coleman in a most memorable performance, and though it starts out well, it eventually takes a sharp-left turn into contrived absurdity, and never recovers, despite almost redeeming itself with a bright ending. Truly uneven.
