DICK (2000)

ANDREW FLEMING

Plot

An alternative theory as to who it was who made the Watergate scandal public. Two particularly fluffy high-school bunnies stumble into a series of paper shredding and general skulduggery. Blessed with the combined intelligence of a single-celled amoeba, the girls spent half of the film completely oblivious to the corruption around them, but when reality finally dawns, their trickiness puts everyone else in the shade. Dick is as ridiculous as such films come, but thanks to some inspired performances, such as Dan Hedaya as Nixon, and some nice side swipes at the two journalists who originally broke the story, the movie is entertaining, goof ball, fun.
