Watch: Dick 1999 123movies, Full Movie Online – In current day, Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein have still not revealed the identity of Deep Throat, their source that led to them breaking the story of the Watergate scandal and the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Rewind to June 17, 1972. Friends Betsy Jobs and Arlene Lorenzo are typical fifteen year olds whose minds are preoccupied with boys, especially of the teen heartthrob variety. Arlene, who lives in the Watergate complex with her single mother, has invited Betsy over this evening to prepare Arlene’s “Win a Date with Bobby Sherman” contest entry. Wandering around the complex that evening, they see a man who they don’t recognize. On a class field trip to the White House the following day, they see the same man in the White House who they sort of recognize but don’t know from where. He, G. Gordon Liddy, afraid that they can tie him to the Watergate break-in, decides to take decisive measures to deal with them. In this administrative high level maneuvering, Betsy and Arlene meet the President himself. To keep an eye on them, Nixon – or Dick as they are allowed to call him – hires them first to walk Checkers, then as youth policy advisors, all in unofficial capacities, and the latter job in name only that is unless he feels the need to institute a policy they recommended just to placate them. But the more that they have access to the White House as a collective, the more they may truly be exposed to the illegal goings-on by the administration. The question becomes if they are astute enough to recognize what they are seeing – they more used to fixating on the likes of Sherman – and know what to do with the information..
Plot: Two high school girls wander off during a class trip to the White House and meet President Richard Nixon. They become the official dog walkers for Nixon’s dog Checkers, and become his secret advisors during the Watergate scandal.

Overlooked and hilarious
This was a huge bomb when it came out in 1999–it was badly advertised and disappeared quickly. That’s a shame because it’s a very fun movie. If ever a film should be rediscovered, it’s this one. Two very dumb teenage girls (beautifully played by Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams) in the early 70s, get separated from their tour of the White House, and accidentally meet Nixon. They start walking his dog Checkers and, inadvertently, discover all about Watergate without even knowing it! It sounds silly (and it is) but damned if it doesn’t work! Dunst and Williams are totally believable (and very lovable) as the teenagers. Dan Hedaya does a perfect interpretation of Nixon. As for everybody else, I couldn’t tell you. I’m no whiz on Watergate and who Nixon’s staff was in the 70s. But the script is sharp, everyone has wonderful comic timing and the best bits were done by Will Ferrell and Bruce McCulloch who make Woodward and Bernstein out to be total idiots. Also an excellent selection of 70s songs which always complement the action. The final gag played on Nixon is uproarious! Well worth watching.
this is why comedy works best for politics
Watergate is the one thing for which Richard Nixon will remain marked. But suppose that the knowledge of it came about by accident. That’s the premise of Andrew Fleming’s “Dick”, starring Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst as a pair of idealistic but silly teenagers who through sheer dumb luck insinuate themselves into Tricky Dick’s life. In this depiction, all of Nixon’s major decisions – and the unraveling of Watergate – were the handiwork of these two girls! The funniest scenes involve cookies.Like “The Great Dictator”, “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”, “Dr. Strangelove”, “Wag the Dog” and “Fun with Dick and Jane”, it shows that comedy is the best way to address politics. Definitely check it out.
And remember, the president’s dog does his business!
