Okay, my students laughed at me when I admitted this, but this film scared the living hell out of me! Granted, I was only five when I saw it, but that scene where Tomlin falls down the garbage disposal and the housekeeper can't hear her screams because she's listening to loud music...I ran out of the theater when that happened! Looking back, the plot was rather hokey and they relied too much on Tomlin's star power. Still, the special effects were okay for the time. The commentary of our consumerist society didn't work as well. It may be worth a watch on cable, but to this day I can't even watch 9 to 5 without whimpering.
