Reviews for Dick
Blends the drama of All the President's Men with the wisdom of The Brady Bunch.
Although it eventually suffers a typically 1970s energy crisis, this satire of the early Seventies has its moments, thanks to the considerable charms of Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst...
Manages to land itself somewhere between All the President's Men and Clueless, with brilliant comic performances throughout.
Those with a sense of humor who have wondered about the true identity of Deep Throat in the downfall of the 37th President will appreciate this low-cal satire.
