Critics Consensus

A clever, funny slice of alternate history, Dick farcically re-imagines the Watergate era and largely succeeds, thanks to quirky, winning performances from Michelle Williams, Kirsten Dunst and Will Ferrell.

t's Watergate as seen through the eyes of two teenage girls, played with implacable good cheer by Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams.

Dick, the political satire starring Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams, manages to hold up twenty years after its theatrical release in 1999.

Now the truth is out there: Deep Throat was actually two giggly teenage girls who stepped into Nixon's dirty tricks during their jobs as Official White House Dog Walkers.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Has the ingredients to be a unique comedy appealing to those that were aware of the political scandal in the 70's but it really doesn't garner laughs most of the time.

I remember watching Dick 20 years ago or so on TV, a film that I thought was funny (especially John Hedaya's Nixon) but to be honest, many of the references flew over my head, not to mention not really having enough appreciation for the two ladies in center (teenage Kristen Dunst and Michelle Williams). Now with over 2 decades of hindsight I can really appreciate the comic timing, the sweetness, and overall star power these two brought to the table. The movie plays as a Forrest Gump-like revisionist history with more sitcom-y jokes and a dash of slapstick comedy to a serious and dire chapter of American history which is Water Gate. I am really hoping this film gets its proper retrospective rediscovery, because it's such a nice gem.

"YOU SUCK, DICK! love, Deep Throat." The references about dick throughout were clever, pretty funny... especially cuz the girls are so innocent lol. but oohh myy god, those two girls were SO annoying...no 15 year old girls are like that, wth. I only watched it cuz said comedy with ryan renolds lol, and he was only in it for like 5 minutes :P. i'm glad i studied history at school cuz otherwise idt i'd have got it as much. "Oh God I love dick!" "YOU CAN'T LET DICK CONTROL YOUR LIFE!" "I used to love dick, now dick disgusts me." And, at the end with the credits, they're licking a lolly with dick written on it hahaha" LOL!!! Couldnt have said it any bedda...
