highly recommended

With a nod to Preston Sturges's classic dark comedy Unfaithfully Yours (about a man who fantasizes about murdering his possibly philandering wife), this 1980 cotton-candy-feminist-vendetta film concerns a monstrous boss (Dabney Coleman) whose more capable underlings dream of ways of punishing him. That much of the film is particularly fun, but the rest of it descends into silliness when the women stumble onto a real-life opportunity to teach him a lesson. Fonda, the biggest star in the film at the time, takes a back seat to Parton's and Tomlin's showier roles. Written and directed by the late Colin Higgins (who made a lot of people happy in the '70s with his script for the beloved Harold and Maude). --Tom Keogh

Harrassment in the Workplace

I teach business management at the local high school -- we were studying issues of inappropriate office behavior, discrimination, etc. -- and I remembered this movie -- it was a great lesson for my high school students. I forewarned the students about the pot-smoking scene (which is nothing new to today's students). They wrote papers about the different HR issues and connected them with different Acts to show a greater understanding of the material and its use in "everyday" events. As for outside the classroom -- it is an entertaining movie.

A Fun Romp

This film does not pretend to be particularly profound. It is a delightful
revenge fantasy which ends with no particular losers(!). Perhaps we could
use more of this kind of gentle revenge.

Just as fun as when I saw it at the movies! Great for a good laugh. A good pick-me up.

IT'S ONLY ME, BUT:

WHAT A WONDERFUL MOVIE. PARTON, JANE FONDA AND LILLY TOMLIN TOGETHER. THREE WORKING GIRLS WITH A SEXIST BOSS WHO PLOT AND CARRY OUT THEIR REVENGE ON HIM. JM

hillarious
