Pros: Well, the cast is solid and you can tell that they such a good time with the material, such as it is. And it does deal with still relevant topics, including sexism in the workplace.
Cons: While the film started off, it took a crazy turn, including the office mole, Roz (Elizabeth Wilson) uncovering that Violet (Lily Tomlin) accidentally poisoned the nasty and cruel boss, Franklin Hart (Dabney Coleman) when that isn't why he was injured and thus, a crazy amount of blackmail and law breaking on both sides occurs. I wanted Hart to be destroyed, I didn't want them to break the laws and be so cruel in the process.
Recommend: Maybe
Grade: B
Side Notes:
-Judy's (Jane Fonda's) ending of marrying the Xerox salesman is supposed to be funny but it rings hollow.
-Dolly Parton is great and her fantasy of getting back at Mr. Hart is the best as it really turns the table on him.
