Dick

This is a fun movie with loads of humor and political insights that really make you think. Kirsten and Michelle have such incredible chemistry and such natural sex appeal. And the soundtrack is great too!

Funny movie

I teach Journalism in high school, and have long wanted a good movie to show the complexity and craziness and drama of Watergate."All the President's Men" is not it. "Dick" definitely is."All the President's Men" is dull and opaque and gets lost in minutiae--it's hard to follow even for me, and I know oceans about Watergate--so it is completely lost on the students. Worse still, it's undramatic. It has a plodding pace and dull characters."Dick" is the opposite. It was a stroke of genius to treat Watergate as a comedy, and better yet, a teen comedy.It was another stroke of genius to make the clueless teen heroines "Deep Throat"--the mysterious informant who kept feeding Woodward and Bernstein an unending supply of truth about Nixon's and all his advisers' involvement. ("Dick" was made in 1999; the actual identity of Deep Throat was not revealed till 2005.)And it was perhaps the crowning stroke of genius to provide Nixon with marijuana cookies as the spark behind several of his better policies--ending the Vietnam war, the nuclear weapons treaty with Brezhnev, etc.(Side note. Grace Slick, in her autobiography, tells how Julie, Nixon's daughter, invited Slick to the White House for some function, because Julie and Slick had gone to the same college. Slick decided to go, and slip Tricky Dick some LSD. This was a brilliant plan, but fortunately did not succeed. The thought of Dick's head on acid and his finger on the Bomb is not a pretty one.)"Dick" has wonderful touches. Hedaya is perfect as Nixon--looks, voice, evil, paranoia. It is lovely that he can't remember his daughters' names. The actors playing Haldeman, Kissinger, Dean, et al. are also good. The episodes involving the lost 18 minutes of tape are priceless.The movie is dumb but extremely likable. It gets the songs, the clothes, the slogans, the silliness and fun of the early 70s just right. Plus, it's actually quite educational.

Great for collectors collection!@ classic

Truly epic. The best performance you’ve ever seen from k duntst and Michelle W. Hello dolly

This is the perfect movie if you’re in a silly mood. Two high school girls take down Nixon. It’s ridiculous but creative. It’s brilliantly dumb in my opinion. I had a great laugh.

Funny spoof on Watergate. An enjoyable time trip. No problems w/ delivery.

Truly one of the funniest movies.Especially for us old timers who were around during the Watergate days and early drug days, you baby boomers know..It is a bit sexist to say that the high school girls are a caricature of the women of the '70s but certainly not an insult to those great times and kids.With crushes and being pseudo hippies at times, wearing the proper costume was part of the fun.The Woodward and Bernstein characters are buffoons although not in real life but I'm sure they don't mind the fun that this movie has with them.The depiction of President Nixon is hilarious if not realistic.
