Guide Review - "9 to 5" Special Edition DVD Review
The story follows three women - played by Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dolly Parton - who become unlikely partners in crime when backed into a corner by their chauvinistic boss (the scene-chewing Dabney Coleman). The threesome get revenge against their boss from hell and take over the office, creating a much more female-friendly and pleasant workplace in the process.
This special 'Sexist, Egotistical, Lying, Hypocritical Bigot' Edition DVD includes a plethora of special features. The stars of the film join their producer for a new commentary track that gets off to a shaky start and then slowly finds its way. Tomlin, Parton, and Fonda share their memories from the set and, if you can get past Parton's intrusive laughing, the commentary track is actually pretty informative and entertaining. In addition to the new track, this special DVD edition includes deleted scenes and an interesting making of featurette.
