...praise to Wayne Fitzgerald and David Oliver, who devised this witty, vivacious credit sequence, and to Dolly Parton for composing and singing the title song. Alas, it consumes only 2½ minutes of Colin Higgins' slapstick sermon on job equality. The rest of the film is misjudged and malign. Higgins has little more to tell us about the personalities of his three secretaries than those first alarm clocks did: Judy (Jane Fonda) is square, Doralee (Dolly Parton) is frilly, Vi (Lily Tomlin) is sensible. Together, though, they are a Stenographic catastrophe; they'd lose the quick-brown...
...Rick Robey and Robert Parish may be able to fill the statistical void left by number 18, but as became apparent every time he sat down, Dave Cowens was much more than merely points and rebounds.

This time the bottle shattered on the asphalt...
...real-life boss who found himself with a secretarial pool consisting of self-starters like Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton would be afraid to make waves. But in Nine to Five, which the three are shooting together in Hollywood, their reel-life boss is so tyrannical they spend perfectly good clock-watching time fantasizing ways to get him into hot water. Some ways are slightly extreme: rat poison in the coffee Tomlin is required to fetch him, for example. But the movie is played for laughs, and in the end stenovirtue triumphs when the underlings reorganize the office...
