Summary: Excellent Movie!
Review: I really enjoyed DICK. The movie takes the events of Watergate and Nixon's reign. Kirstyn Dunst and Michelle Williams star in this movie, and they were perfectly cast playing two dim witten 15 year olds who stumble upon the mystery and expose Nixon. All of the Watergate mysteries are expained throughout the movie, with plenty of humor to spare! I thought it was hilarious when Williams' character (who was infatuated with Nixon) leaves a message on the tape recorder for him singing Olivia Newton John's "I Honestly Love You" and yammering on about her love for him. Overall a hilarious movie that was well acted, well written and well produced. A must see!

Summary: Absolutely brilliant
Review: Maybe it was just that this movie has a pretty small niche audience: people who know their political history, have seen "All The Presidents Men" and "Nixon," and have a wicked sense of humor. Or maybe it was the fact that it was advertised as a teen movie, because of its stars: but how many 14 year old girls do you know that meet the above requirements?Frankly, they're not actually requirements. I saw both of the other movies long after I had seen Dick many times, and we sort of ran out of time in high school history class in the 50's so we did 1955-1997 in about three days. So it's not REQUIRED that you be a scholar of the Nixon era to enjoy this movie: but it is worth it to see at least "All the President's Men" first. This is a brilliant, brilliant movie. Hugely underrated. The movie takes the events of Watergate and structures them around two dim-witted teenage girls ("I've known yams with more going on upstairs, sir") who accidentaly stuble onto the Watergate burglars as they sneak down to the parking garage (putting duct tape over the self-locking door latch so that they can get back in without waking up Arlene's mom) to mail a letter to "win a date with Bobby Sherman." Through the course of the movie, all of the Watergate mysteries are explained. Whatever happened to Checkers, whatever happened to the 18 1/2 minutes, whatever happened to stop nuclear war with the Russians, why Nixon was so paranoid, and why the famous source called himself "Deep Throat." It's all here. Well written and acted, Dan Heydaya is maybe the best Nixon ever to hit the screen. "You smell like cabbage!"

Summary: I almost felt sorry for Nixon for just a second, well,
Review: At least his presidency resulted in this movie being made, this continues in a kind of Forrest Gump history parody type of story, it is a wonderful film for all political junkies, when this movie 1st came out, I can't recall how old I was but I casually dismissed this movie, I remember my girlfriend Susan saying we should rent this but I refused, but I know that even if I had watched it back them I could not have appreciated this because of my lack of knowledge about American history, there are a few moments where Michelle Williams gets on my nerves but I think the basic point is to make us laugh, I enjoyed this very much, if you know anything about John Dean, Kissinger and of course, good old Nixon and then the idiot Ford pardoning Nixon, you will love this movie, but I am required after bashing Nixon to point out that he did make a few good decisions, like "The Clean Air Act" of I think 71, 72, somewhere around there, and Nixon is nothing compared to the atrocities undertaken by the Bush administration, that fascist pig, both him and his dad, and his brother, oh forget it, his entire family oh, and by the way, John Dean who was good old Nixon's lawyer, the one the ratted him out, yeah, he wrote a book called "Worse than Watergate" in which he compares the Nixon administration to the Bush criminal empire of absolute fear and loathing, race for the jeebs, pure gonzo journalism, do it now, do it for whatever you want to do

Summary: Very funny!
Review: If you can get around the historical inaccuracy (such as the tape recording machine not being voice activated like the real one) of much of the film, you can enjoy a good laugh from 'Dick.' What I liked most about the film was that it wasn't really an anti-Nixon film (although they do make fun of Nixon)but it made fun of all the participants involved in America's most famous and odd political scandal. Kissinger, Liddy, Rose Mary Wood, Haldeman, Dean, and even Woodward and Bernstein are fair game!
