Over a decade before The Spice Girls dished out their
version of "Girl Power", Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin & Dolly Parton got there first in this battle-of-the-sexes comedy, in which they play three disgruntled secretaries who plot to kidnap
their chauvinistic boss.
Highly enjoyable with solid performances and an ample
amount of laughs, but probably made even more memorable by Dolly Parton's catchy title song.
7/10
