"Well, I say we hire a couple of wranglers to go upstairs and beat the shit out of him." - Doralee Rhodes

Why watch this? This great comedy targets prevalent corporate misogyny, and has a lot of fun doing it.

Plot Summary: Three female coworkers, Judy, Violet, and Doralee, are pushed to their breaking point by their arrogant and misogynistic boss, Franklin Hart Jr. United in their frustrations, they devise a comical plan to get even with him. They take matters into their own hands and assume control of the office, making significant changes to improve the workplace environment.

Dad's Preview: It's a pleasure to watch three classy ladies putting the screws to their over-confident, snobby and perverted boss. This is a very well-done comedy with a strong supporting cast. Dabney Coleman plays the perfect male chauvinist. Tomlin and Fonda are wonderful, but Dolly Parton more than holds her own. We all knew she could sing, but here she really proves that she is a fine actress as well.
