Forget WhiteHousePlumbers! Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams starred in this forgotten 1999 comedy.
The Watergate scandal is one that has captivated audiences for years, from the critically acclaimed All the President's Men to HBO Max's most recent limited series White House Plumbers. Now over 50 years since Watergate first broke, of all the depictions of the scandal that ultimately led to President Richard Nixon's resignation, the 1999 teen comedy Dick is the most inspired but oft-forgotten.
'Dick's Commentary on the American Obsession With Watergate Dick expertly satirizes the high stakes political bombshell that was the Watergate scandal by simplifying it into terms that even the most naive teenagers could comprehend.
For obvious reasons, Dick is rife with sexual innuendo. As teenagers just discovering their sexuality, Betsy and Arlene don't take notice of the double entendre of Nixon's nickname, leading to several funny incidents like Arlene yelling "I love Dick" at the roller rink and later declaring "I hate Dick", with the phallic Washington Monument featured prominently in the background.
