9 To 5 Film Review

 

Film fans there are some films out there that have been overhyped to the point that nothing less then being perfect will be good enough. The film that i'm about to review for you all today is very sadly one of those films which is a shame because on paper this film should be a home run and so then join me as I review the hit film that spawned a hit song , a hit TV show and a hit broadway musical adaptation all with the exact same name with the film in question being called simply just "9 To 5" enjoy.

The plot of this film is three friends and work colleges have the chance to get even with their cruel boss and get the revenge that all three of them want so badly. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films plot being quite entertaining at best even if it is slightly predictable in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Jane Fonda as Judy Bernly , Lily Tomlin as Violet Newstead and singer and songwriter Dolly Parton as Doralee Rhodes. Also starring in this film is Dabney Coleman as Franklin Hart Jr. , Sterling Hayden as Russell Tinsworthy , Elizabeth Wilson as Roz , Henry Jones as Hinkle , Lawrence Pressman as Dick , Marian Mercer as Missy Hart , Renn Woods as Barbara , Norma Donaldson as Betty , Roxanna Bonilla-Giannini as Maria , Peggy Pope as Margaret , Richard Stahl as Meade and Ray Vitte as Eddie.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this films cast doing their best to make this films script work but the issue is one that Dolly Parton isn't an actress and so the other two leads have to carry her as well and two the films script gives none of the actors anything to work with interms of what their characters personalities is supposed to be like really which is a very big red flag for me personally.

This show was apparently so successful enough that it spawned an equally successful TV show which lasted five seasons. Three of which aired on ABC with the final two seasons airing in syndication and from what I can gather both the show and the movie have nothing to do with each other aside from a few characters in the movie being recast for the TV show but thats really it and to be fair that's really all you need for a show like this one to be made or even last that long for that matter.

This film also spawned a hugely successful song of the same name and they get allot of use out of this one song. Since they play it a good few times in it's entirety which is weird since all it does is take you out of the movie since the song is actually good and is such an ear worm that it distracts you from the rest of the film which given that this film just isn't that good I can't help but wonder if that's a good thing or not plus if you have Dolly Parton in your cast and she's done a song for your film then your going to make sure it gets played alot it's just shame that all it does is really distract you from the film itself.

This film really was made to be a musical since there are several points in this film where the music is building up and you think that there going to burst into song. However they don't do it which makes me wonder why they did it in the first place since it would have been very easy to turn this film into a musical and given that they eventually did turn this into a musical my guess is they finally released what they were doing but I could be wrong tho.

I'm just going to bee honest here these three girls should have been arrested since even tho they didn't kill there boss. They did however still kidnap him , abuse him and forge his signature and so then even the boss was in the wrong for he treated each three of the main cast or characters how they went about getting there revenge just proves that they can all be just as evil as he is but for some reason he's presented as the villain but even tho they do stuff that's far more worse they are presented to us as the good guys.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and forty nine minuets and twenty one seconds. Which is a tad bit on the long side for this film since for large portions of the film all we are doing is just watching these girls just going to work with nothing advancing the overall plot of the film which when your film is this short almost every single scene absolutely needs to be about advancing the plot of the film.

So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty a very mixed bag of affairs for me personally. Since even tho this film does indeed give us some very good jokes this film does however have alot more very bad and rather unfunny jokes as well with the best joke in the entire movie being the one where all three girls go into detail about what it is that there going to do their boss with each dreams sequence taking on a different style which was a funny really sequence in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this film was just very underwhelming and while there quite clearly is an audience out there that finds this film to be rather funny i'm just not one of them since I found this film to be a rather unfunny mess of a film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the ad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this very / particular / exact film being Google Images since alot of the images that are from this film and that are currently still indeed up on Google Images are all really fairly freaking high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
