"Take This Job and Shove It" is a 1981 film, starring Robert Hays, Barbara Hershey, Art Carney, and David Keith, and directed by Gus Trikonis.

The film was named after a popular Country Western song, "Take This Job and Shove It", which was written by David Allan Coe and sung by Johnny Paycheck; both men had minor roles in the film.

Plot summary

A corporate conglomerate called "The Alison Group" acquired four breweries, all of them experiencing financial trouble. Enter Frank Macklin (Robert Hays), a young manager hired by Alison to help reorganize one of the ailing breweries. The only thing, though, was that brewery was a major employer in his home town. Originally, his old friends, who were working at the brewery, gave him a cold welcome, as they thought he would be unable to revitalize the brewery. But when Frank informed them that the brewery was drowning in red ink, and that they may be losing their jobs soon, they welcomed him with open arms, and ramped up the brewery's sales and production. The brewery has improved so much, that The Alison Group decided to sell it to a Texas oil millionaire, who doesn't know the first thing about running a brewery -- or apparently -- running a business. Most of the movie was shot in Dubuque, Iowa and the Dubuque Star Brewery.
