9 to 5 Returns to Theaters for Dolly Parton Charity

If you've ever had a boss who made you want to scream into a desk drawer, then the movie 9 to 5 still feels really relatable.

The comedy that first brought Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin together on the big screen is returning to theaters, over 45 years after it first showed people three office workers who had had enough.

This is more than just a special screening.

The newly restored version of 9 to 5 is playing in theaters for one week starting on October 9.

The money from U.S.ticket sales will go to The Dollywood Foundation, which supports Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

So, you can enjoy laughing at one of the worst bosses in movie history and also help get books to kids at the same time.

That’s not a bad way to spend a movie night.

9 to 5 brought Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin together.

The story still works because almost everyone has met someone like these characters.

Lily Tomlin plays Violet, the employee who knows how to run the office but can’t seem to get the promotion she deserves.

Jane Fonda is Judy, a new worker trying to figure things out.Dolly Parton is Doralee, whose coworkers wrongly assume she’s in a relationship with their boss.

And the boss?

Franklin Hart Jr.

is the type of person who makes you understand why these three finally decide to stand up to him.

Once Violet, Judy, and Doralee realize they all have the same enemy, the movie really starts to take off.

One of the best parts of the movie was watching these three very different actors working together.

Fonda, Tomlin, and Parton didn’t seem like an obvious comedy trio at first.

But somehow, they made it work.

And then there’s that song.

You almost can’t say "9 to 5" without immediately thinking of Dolly Parton singing it.

The title song became a huge hit on its own, earning Parton an Academy Award nomination and becoming one of the most famous songs of her career.

Even people who have never seen the movie probably know it.

The opening beat is instantly familiar, and the lyrics perfectly match the movie’s theme of surviving the daily grind.

It’s hard to imagine one without the other.

For Parton, the film also marked her first time in a movie.

Not exactly a quiet way to enter Hollywood.

This return to theaters comes with a very Dolly reason.

The rerelease was announced on September 25 as part of "Give Like Dolly Day," an annual event that celebrates Parton's long history of helping kids.

The date, September 25, is clearly a nod to the movie.

But the reason behind it is serious.

Parton created the Imagination Library in 1995 after being inspired by her father's struggle with reading and writing.

The idea was simple: send books to kids at home, starting from birth, to make reading a part of their lives early on.

That idea grew a lot.

The program has now given away over 300 million books and sends millions more to children each month.

That makes this return to 9 to 5 feel a little different.

You get Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin facing office politics again, while the ticket itself helps support something Parton has worked on for decades.

Forty-six years later, 9 to 5 apparently still has some work left to do.

9 to 5 returns to theaters for one week only, from October 9 through October 15.
