I can't believe I'm saying this, but let's hope this is only the first pairing for the comedy team of Dan Hedaya, Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams. "Dick" is one of the funniest films of the year, and this trio of stars shines every second of celluloid.
As always, Hedaya (a hilarious yet lovable Dick Nixon) gives a top performance--grouchy, human and hilarious, even topping the blustering lawyer father he played opposite Alicia Silverstone in "Clueless". Dan Hedaya in the cast is your assurance of a great evening at the movies. Take my word for it.
Almost as wonderful are the comic antics of Kirsten and Michelle (I'm still hoping I will eventually have reason to call them by their first names on a regular basis) as ditzy, sexy "historical giants." Kirsten plays the same horny/scheming/horny lass she was in the excellent film "Strike!", although the 1970s fashions are a groovy new bonus. Winning my heart for the evening, though, was "Dawson's Creek" sweetie Michelle Williams, who plays a tenderhearted teenager with a jones for the Dickster.
DO NOT MISS THIS FILM!! If you are in Bolivia, in jail or if your wife refuses to raise your allowance so you can afford a movie ticket, then you have an excuse. If not, and you miss "Dick", you are a moron. Oh, and by the way--stay for the credits--the lollipop scene will heat up your summer!
