Dick

Movie Summary

Released: 1999
The time is 1972 and The Watergate Scandal was brewing and teenage best friends Betsy and Arlene become unwittingly involved. The next day, during a class field trip of the White House, the ditzy duo wander off the tour and meet President Richard Nixon where he makes them official dog walkers to Checkers...to keep them quiet about the scandal. But when the girls walk in on some top-secret shredding, Nixon appoints them as "Secret Youth Advisors". However, once the real truth comes out, Betsy and Arlene turn the tables and go to Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward under the cover of "Deep Throat". But Tricky Dick will do anything to keep the girls from exposing the story...even thinking of them as a threat to national security. Not quite historically true, but the laughs are hillariously real. He was tricky, they were better.
