I am not a "Watergate baby" nor did I live during Nixon's presidency, but from reading "All the President's Men" and watching the movie based on it, I can claim to know a bit about the Watergate scandal. At first, "Dick" seems like a really cheesy movie with 2 real ditzy girls - like child's play. But as the movie progresses + more and more starts to develop about Nixon's involvement in Watergate, the level of the girls' ditziness becomes central to the movie. And it's absolutely hilarious how these 2 girls are able to "accidentally" come upon all this stuff for Carl Bernstein + Bob Woodward of the Washington Post. It is such a clever, clever movie.
