Strong Start Then Waned
29 November 2019
This movie had a strong start then waned.

I thought it was going to be a clever movie of how three oppressed and mistreated working women were going to flip the script on their chauvinistic and bigoted boss. Well, that kinda happened but it wasn't clever at all, it was just a series of sloppy events that fell in their favor. It went steadily downhill from the marijuana trip onwards.

Lily Tomlin was good, she's a pro. Jane Fonda looked out of place and Dolly Parton was pretty weak, though I give her a lot of credit for the theme song--it's top 20 in my book for movie theme songs. I wanted to like the movie, I really did, and it wasn't all bad. But when's the last time you complimented someone by saying, "You're not all bad." Like saying someone is not ugly, it's not the same as saying they're pretty.
