Rating:  -
A great name for the second worst president in the history of the US. Funny movie though.
Rating:  -
Writer-director Andrew Fleming was already responsible for THREESOME in 1994, a movie about sexuality in college, which deserves to be rediscovered. Now with DICK, Fleming chose the delicate genre of the political satire. But, in order not to reject those of us who didn't read the Woodward-Bernstein book or see Alan J. Pakula's ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, that means a lot of people I suppose, Fleming transplants an unconvincing story of two odd teenagers in the Watergate story.
As I said before, the adventures of Betsy and Arlene in the White House hallways are in my opinion not funny at all however the description of the life in the early seventies and the portraits of President Nixon and his staff are particularly successful. And the scenes involving Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein even quite hilarious. So, all in all, the movie manages to grab your interest and deserves at least a rental. As a former reviewer already pointed it out, the bonus scenes of the DVD in the Blopper department are also very interesting.
A DVD zone flower power.

This is a very enjoyable movie, though young people might be lost at its many references. My favorite scene must be the one where one of the girls reveal to the other the meaning behind the expression Deep Throat, but there are many other great scenes, like when the girls first stumble upon the white house tapes, and reveal to them a Nixon they didn't know. The ending is also superb. What's great about this movie is the overall humor that was sorely missing in "All the President's Men" and "Nixon": in this film, Woodward and Bernstein are as much objects of ridicule as Nixon and Kissinger.

Well, since retired FBI agent Mark Felt "came out" as the real Deep Throat in the summer of 2005 this quirky comedy has become dated. It's a pity, because I was really holding out hope that Deep Throat would be two teenaged girls.
This movie is a must see for political junkies and fans of Saturday Night Live type humor. To me it's great if only to see Henry Kissinger explaining his Southeast Asia and Vietnam policy to two teenagers, and to see Richard Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev singing a "cookie" fueled version of Hello Dolly in the Oval Office.
Another highlight is the pretty accurate, if visually assaulting, depiction of how people dressed in the early 1970s -- seen as some as "the decade fashion forgot."
You really do have to have been born at least in the 1960s to get some of the references, like "Did somebody get their chocolate in your peanut butter?" (that was a popular ad campaign for Reese's peanut butter cups in the early 70s) ... but when the tour full of teenagers is more excited about going to McDonald's than the White House -- well, that's pretty timeless (for the 20th Century American youth anyway) comedy.
It's a good movie to rent, watch on cable. Most people probably wouldn't add it to their DVD collection (the DVD shows its age as it is one of those that came out in the late 90s when they offered a full screen and a widescreen version on both sides).

Back in the 1960's two teenage girls brought down the British government in what became known as "The Porfumo Affair". (See movie Scandal for details. This is a slapstick cult comedy about two teenage American girls in Washington, DC who do the same thing for President Nixon without knowing it. If you love politics, you will enjoy this Saturday Night Live twist to the impeachment of Nixon.
