He
was tricky. They were
better.
In
DICK, a historically-challenged
comedy, high school students
Betsy Jobs (Kirsten Dunst) and
Arlene Lorenzo (Michelle
Williams) wander off during a
class trip to the White House and
meet President Richard Nixon (Dan
Hedaya). They end up becoming the
official walkers of his dog,
Checkers, and secret advisors to
Tricky Dick during the Watergate
scandal. Forget what you learned
in the history books and prepare
to be enlightened on
eighteen-and-a-half-minute tape
gaps, slush funds, paper
shredding and everything else you
never knew about the third-rate
burglary that turned into a
first-rate scandal in the
1970s… the last good White
House scandal.
Will
Ferrell plays Bob Woodward who,
along with Bruce McCullough as
Carl Bernstein, is leaked
information about the scandal by
the emotionally betrayed Arlene.
Many reviews reveal Will and
Bruce to be one of the biggest
highlights of the
film.
