9 to 5 costars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda reunite in a comedy for all ages.
Grace (Fonda) and Frankie (Tomlin) are shocked when their business partner husbands (Martin Sheen & Sam Waterston) announce that they’re leaving the women for each other. To get away from their husbands, both women move into a co-owned beach house and have to learn to deal with each other.
This show mixes a great amount of comedy and drama, which rings true to real life. It begs the question: What do you do when you have to restart late in life?
While the older cast is at the forefront, their children play a large part as well. As Grace’s daughter, June Diane Raphael is a scene-stealer and comedy queen.
Final say: Though a little crazy, very touching. ★★★★☆
