Dick (1999)

Director: Andrew Fleming
Writer: Andrew Fleming, Sheryl Longin
Cast: Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, Dan Hedaya
Genre: Comedy

Dick takes us back to the 70's, and tells the fictive story of how Watergate really happened. The real reason Nixon had to leave office was two high school girls, and we follow their story. It's a comedy molded in satire, but far from as interesting as Saved!, Mean Girls, But I'm a Cheerleader and those likes. While not as funny, or deep for that matter, as the before mentioned ones, Dick offers both Dunst, Williams and Hadeya plenty of scenes worth shaking. Both females have obviously done better elsewhere later in their careers, but they're portrayed interestingly out of type casted-character here. That counts for something. Especially while being a fan of either actress, as the case is with my view at Dunst.

Oh, btw: The soundtrack is really well done. They've almost hit every scene spot on with that one,and that's an accomplishment.
