Reviews for Dick
Now the truth is out there: Deep Throat was actually two giggly teenage girls who stepped into Nixon's dirty tricks during their jobs as Official White House Dog Walkers.
Blends the drama of All the President's Men with the wisdom of The Brady Bunch.
Although it eventually suffers a typically 1970s energy crisis, this satire of the early Seventies has its moments, thanks to the considerable charms of Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst...
Manages to land itself somewhere between All the President's Men and Clueless, with brilliant comic performances throughout.
Those with a sense of humor who have wondered about the true identity of Deep Throat in the downfall of the 37th President will appreciate this low-cal satire.
