»Workin’ 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin’ | Barely getting’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’ | They just use your mind | And you never get the credit | It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it«. Dolly Parton’s anthem for all exploited office workers from the 80s cult comedy of the same name gets straight to the point: They only use you, don’t appreciate you, and drive you crazy if you don’t fight back. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton join forces in a plot against their misogynistic boss – determined to improve working conditions for the women who keep things running in their male-dominated company. They dream of revenge – until fantasy and reality collide and chaos takes its crazy course. With a razor-sharp script by Patricia Resnick and a brilliant ensemble cast, the film quickly became a cult film in the US and has inspired a sitcom, a musical and countless drag performances in the 45 years since its premiere.
