Loved It!
Added 4/16/2008
I am a fan of Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst so that might explain why I loved this light-hearted movie. It's silly but cute. A good movie to watch when your in the mood to laugh your head off. Music is great too! Like another reviewer said, this is definitely a "cult" hit!

Hilarious Take on A Serious Time in History
Added 3/29/2008
I was in 7th grade when this movie came out. My mom and I rented it from Blockbuster to watch it together, and we both loved it! Dick is the story of how 2 teenage girls helped bring down the president. It supposes that a couple of 15 year old girls who had worked for Nixon were really Deep Throat, not someone from inside the government. It may be an absurd notion, but it is extremely hilarious, especially when one of the girls thinks that she is in love with Dick.

Great tongue-in-cheek history lesson and walk down memory lane!
Added 2/11/2008
This movie provides a possible (if not plausible) explanation for the source of the Watergate scandal's "Deep Throat", in a manner that is hilarious, while taking you back to the 70's in a nostalgic walk down memory lane. I bought several copies to share with family/friends... and they loved it too! Dan Hedaya's Richard Nixon is amazingly spot-on, and the actors portraying your favorite villains from the Nixon administration perform admirable impressions of Haldeman (Dave Foley), Liddy (Harry Shearer) and Dean (Breuer) ... not to mention Saul Rubinek's brilliant Henry Kissinger! Top it off with Will Ferrell playing a parody of Bob Woodward in constant battle with his bud, Bernstein (McCulloch), and excellent performances from Kirsten Dunst (well before her Spiderman fame), and Dawson's Creek's Michelle Williams as the teenage sources of Tricky Dick's downfall, and you have the recipe for a FUNtastic movie night! Take it all with a grain of salt, and enjoy poking fun at a historical mystery!!

A hilarious, strictly satirical take on the Nixon White House, "Dick" follows the inspired notion that two young teens unwittingly pierced the heart of the biggest scandal in presidential history--without realizing it. Dunst and Williams are endearing as the sweetly clueless teeny-boppers, while character actor Hedaya makes even tricky Dick loveable. Director Fleming never veers into pure parody, opting for a smart, irreverent twist on an iconic cultural moment.

Historic Hilarity
Added 6/29/2007
This movie is genius!! It should be a companion piece to "All The President's Men." The fact the writers used actual historic people, quotes, and events and tied them into this crazy fictional world of a couple of ditzy girls is the most entertaining art imaginable. Kirsten Dunst is wonderful in everything she's done. This is no exception. This movie also proves (along with "Brokeback Mountain") that Michelle Williams can do anything.
