THE HIGH CONCEPT: Two high school girls use cookies and charisma to advise Nixon to end the Vietnam War & get caught up in Watergate. Someone must have been eating a batch of those Hello Dollies when they wrote this script! If they'd had more foresight, they should've known that there was pot in the cookies, what would you expect if they were baked by the girl who went on to play the role of 'Mary Jane' Watson.
Not only does this film suggest Nixon would pull out of Vietnam at the urging of schoolgirls and had knowledge of Watergate scandal, but even more frightening for the American public to think about was his taste in television programs: We see him watching "Love American Style" at one point.
Wondering what type of film this is? There is a moment in the film where one of the female leads shouts out, "Alright, I love Dick!" in a public crowd. That alone should tell you a lot about what type of historical film this is. It was directed by Andrew Fleming, the man who brought us the teenage witches film "The Craft", which tried to retread a 'Lost Boys' type 'new kid in town meets supernatural' plot.
The film stars Michelle Williams and the lovely Kirsten Dunst as the presidential dog walkers who become youth advisors to Tricky Dick. Will Ferrell and Bruce from 'Kids in the Hall' paint Woodward and Bernstein in a different light for us and we are provided a new take on exactly why there was 18 minutes missing off Nixon's infamous tape recordings. Dave Foley from 'KitH' also appears in the film. It's pretty funny at times and not a bad way to kill an hour and a half, but there are better movies.
