    Big-time fun! It does the "Forrest Gump" historical coincidence thing, but it does it much better. I still can't believe that piece of **** won best picture over "Shawshank."

    Reasonably amusing political comedy that however relies too much on dumb teen movie humor to rise to the level of satire.

    This movie was decent, but it could have been a lot better. It has its charming moments, and the way the Watergate Scandal was portrayed was rather clever, but the leads are just too ditsy and annoying to make this movie actually good. It falls just short of the mark. Worth watching? Yes. Worth rewatching? Decidedly no.

    A sly little comic treasure.

    Dick works best as a catalog of style: It's the story and the acting that are the window dressing.
  3. A highly original, often hilarious, what-if farce about Watergate.
