- Synopsis:
- The year is 1972 and, like most high-school students, Betsy Jobs (Kirsten Dunst) and Arlene Lorenzo (Michelle Williams) just want to have a good time. But when, during a class field trip to the White House, they cluelessly wander into a behind-closed-doors, top-secret, shredding session, it's time to both wag the dog, and walk it. Seeking to uncover just how much the witless duo discovered, the Commander-In-Chief, appoints them 'Official White House Dog Walkers,' and it isn't long before the girls go from taking out Checkers, to taking out Tricky Dick, in this fun-raising comedy of historic distortions.

Enjoyably daft - Dick review by CM
For an evening of easy viewing, 'Dick' gets a few laughs. The cast - Hedaya excellent, jowly & growly, as scheming Tricky Dicky, Williams & Dunst frothy as the giddy girls - get the most from a mediocre script that works on Nixon's nickname as an ongoing gag, & overall the film plays the 1970s with more affection than scorn.
