Summary: I love DICK!
Review: I must confess, I love Dick! This film has been extremely over-hated, and doesn't deserve it! This hilarious satire masked as a teen comedy is one of the funniest films I've seen in a while. The two leading ladies in the film are such airheads, that you're not sure if they REALLY are acting. Even better than their performances are those of Bruce McCullough and Will Ferrel, whom made this movie for me. Dan Hedaya is his very funny self and the script is a lot of fun! ENJOY!

Summary: Brush up on your Watergate history before seeing "Dick"
Review: For most people "Dick" is one of those movies where the trailer is better than the actual film because most people have not seen "All the President's Men" and if you have not seen Alan J. Pakula's 1976 film. If you have NOT seen the film version of Bernstein and Woodward's book, you are NOT going to get a lot of the jokes and references in this film. The more you know about Watergate and the events leading up to Nixon's resignation, the more you will enjoy this film. If the names Kissinger, Halderman and Erlichman mean nothing to you, then you will not appreciate the caricatures of them in this film and it is going to be nothing more than another dumb blonde buddy film. You simply have to be in on the jokes.

Summary: Finally, a teen movie about Richard Nixon!
Review: I like this movie a lot. Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams are very funny as Betsy and Arlene, two ditzy teenage girls who find themselves in the middle of the Watergate scandal. Dave Foley is hilarious as Haldeman, but I think the standout performance goes to Bruce McCulloch. His portrayal of Carl Bernstein is hysterical!

Review: Most people probably think this a teeny bobber comedy but it's much better

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: A very witty script, lots of 70s nostalgia, and some laugh-out-loud performances add up to one great comedy! Kirsten Dunst is the best as the airheaded teenager who, with her best friend (Michelle Williams, also quite good) stumble into the Watergate scandal without a clue! Good fun, just to suspend belief and watch the bumblings of Nixon and the Secret Service, not to mention the antics of the two girls. I loved the line from the one agent who says to Nixon, "I've known yams that had more intelligence than these two." Chuckles all around - especially if you grew up in this era!

Summary: Politics anyone?
Review: Okay, so maybe it's not great for all those Dawson's Creek fans, but this movie is absolutely hysterical for those who know about the Watergate scandel. You'll even find out where the nickname "Deepthroat" really came from. ;) A great political comedy!

Summary: Funny Movie...better if you know the history
Review: To the unfamiliar viewer there is enough to laugh about without any understanding of Vietnam or Watergate. To that end, this movie succeeds as a teen comedy with some cute and talented female leads.However, if you are familiar with "All the President's Men" or with "Nixon" (Oliver Stone's Conspiradrama), then you will laugh deeply at the parody and the silliness. The Nixon character and the seventies humor are right on target and very, very funny.

Summary: Dick's a trip!
Review: I got a great little anecdote about seeing this movie. I really wanted to see it and i couldn't drag any of my friends to go with me so i went alone--perfectly okay with me. This was opening weekend for the film so i was expecting SOMEONE to be there, but i was mistaken. For the first time in my life i was in the theatre completely alone. Just me. No one else. I felt like i owned the place. I laid back, put my feet up, munched on my popcorn and laughed outlout to my little heart's content. Granted, i didn't completely understand everything that was taking place but i did have a ground understanding of Watergate and Deep Throat and all that. It helps to be a bit of a brain when watching this movie because there are very little things that can go right over your head if you don't know the historical significance of it. Overall, this movie was great! My favorite part of the movie is when Woodward and Bernstein strut in slo-mo down the office hall amid cheers from their collegues (watch Bernstein do that flip thing with his hair- it's a riot) If you arent quite familiar with Watergate don't forget to watch All the President's Men first as siad before; it's a big help and a great movie; although alltogether different than this one. It's a shame more people didn't dig this film because it's so worth watching, it deserves five stars. Sitting in my seat all alone had its perks- as the credits rolled and Abba's Dancing Queen played i merrily danced down the aisle and sung along. I felt silly but i was on Becky and Darlene's side- they got that "bad man" out of the White House and i felt like celebrating right along with them. The only thing i was missing was the roller skates.
