Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum

A gaily funny, shrewdly inventive satire. Read full review

New York Daily News - Jack Mathews

Dunst and Williams...turn ditsiness into a frenetic comic duet. Read full review

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold

A highly original, often hilarious, what-if farce about Watergate. Read full review

Film.com - Gemma Files

Starting small and building steadily, the movie reaps some fall-down funny laughs.

Film.com - John Hartl

A tasty/tacky treat. Read full review

The New York Times - Stephen Holden

An uproariously dizzy satire...Hedaya has created the year's funniest film caricature. Read full review

Portland Oregonian - Shawn Levy

Dick works best as a catalog of style: It's the story and the acting that are the window dressing.

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.This movie was decent, but it could have been a lot better.
