This was an absolutely hilarious satire about Richard Nixon and the Watergate cover-up. It was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time.

Of course, the fact that it had Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man, Bring It On) as the lead was what drew me to the film, but there were so many great lines, especially those inadvertently said by Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain, The Station Agent). They were just so funny as two airheads that brought down the President.

Dan Hedaya (Shaft, The First Wives Club) was a perfect Dick Nixon.

The only thing that detracted from an otherwise hilarious film was the presence of Will Ferrell and Bruce McCulloch. Ugh!

This film amy have a few laughs here and there (sometimes more or less), but it is actually (to me) a quirky yet working explanation of most of the questions asked about the Nixon administration and Watergate. For instance, who was Deep Throat (the ultimate question, who were they)? Well, this film suggests that it was 2 teenage girls (wonderfully played by Dunst and Williams) who also may have done a few things. Another example is when the girls are giving cookies to the president and the cookies have a certain "ingredient" to them that might make him paranoid. Funny moments all spread out, and well spread out for the material given. Another good thing about this film is that if teens want to watch this film they don't even need to know the history behind it because it is given in the film. And, if you do know about the whole watergate and Nixon thing before hand, you'll find it even more enjoyable (I bet that Henry Kissinger thought this was the best comedy of the decade). Jim Breuer has a small but significant role as John dean, the counselor to the president (and resigns after a remark by the girls). A-

This is a thoroughly enjoyable comedy. And yes, this is a "what might have happened" type of movie, so please don't get your knickers in a twist as you watch how two teenage girls got involved in the Watergate scandal.

These girls are visiting the White House on a field trip and they end up meeting president Nixon because of taking a wrong turn in one of the corridors. They become official dog walkers and the president's "secret youth advisers". Without realizing it, these girls are deep into the Watergate scandal and they become a source for the two reporters who revealed it all.

I loved the way in which the script interleaves with actual events including the 18 1/2 minutes of blank tape - that was the best!!!

One of the other reviewers mentioned that it is best enjoyed if you are 35 or older and I am inclined to agree with that viewpoint. If you do not have an understanding of the Watergate scandal and it's impact on American politics, then you wouldn't enjoy this movie. To quote another reviewer, this is truly a "hidden gem". My actual rating for this is a 6.5.
