Dick

We watched the DVD "Dick."

Synopsis

When Bob Woodward (Will Ferrell) and Carl Bernstein broke the story that Richard Nixon (Dan Hedaya) knew about the attempt to bug the Democratic headquarters in Watergate, they identified their source only as Deep Throat. This film theorizes that Deep Throat was Betsy (Kirsten Dunst) and Arlene (Michelle Williams), two ditzy teenage girls who witness G. Gordon Liddy's (Harry Shearer)presence in the hotel during the bugging. To keep them quiet, Nixon hires them as "official White House dog walkers," then "Presidential youth advisors." However, when they learn the truth about what is going on they take their story to Woodward and Bernstein. Nixon attempts all kinds of measures to stop them. He was tricky, they were better.
