Just saw this movie today on Comedy Central. I thought it was hilarious! So clever and witty. Definitely buying it on my next Best Buy visit. Any other fans?

If you haven't seen it, it's basically theorizes (jokingly) that two teenage girls (Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams) became Deep Throat in the Watergate scandal after meeting Nixon and becoming his dog walkers and "secret advisers".

It's a great movie! First time I actually started liking Michelle Williams.

Peace.

I've seen this movie about 80000 times. It's one of my favorite fluffy movies, and Dan Hedaya's Nixon is a hoot. "Checkers! SHUT UP OR I'LL FEED YOU TO THE CHINESE!"

Don't forget Will Ferrell and Bruce McCullough as Woodward & Bernstein... and Harry Shearer as G. Gordon Liddy!

And the end credits - with Dunst and Williams licking those "Dick" suckers!

Loved it since it came out. My friend and I thought we were pretty badass for watching it in sixth grade. Hilarious movie, though. Tasteless in the very best sense of the word.

"As your best friend, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"I love Dick!"

"The president's dog doesn't 'poop.' He 'does his business.'"

Pretty sure I could quote this film all day.

Love this movie a lot.

And the brownies! My friend and I were originally all, "WHAT are they putting in there?!" Granted, we were about 12.

This is my go-to movie when I'm sick, always.

"You're prejudiced and have a potty mouth!"

>>And the brownies! My friend and I were originally all, "WHAT >are they putting in there?!" Granted, we were about 12.

Haha, that's what I thought whenever I watched Never Been Kissed until I was about 14.

No one knows what I'm talking about when I start talking about "Mary Janes".
I tell them they don't know Dick.
They look at me like I'm stupid.

That's because the girls called them "Hello Dollies."

Love this movie.

Whatever happened to Dunst?

Dunst keeps busy with Spiderman movies, plus she did that tennis romance "Wimbledon" with Paul Bettany last year - it flopped big time.

Yeah, and don't forget the masterpiece from 2000, Bring it On!

I *loved* Wimbledon though. Really cute movie.

Dunst is actually looked at as a pretty big star. She's had some really sucessful movies, and not just Spiderman. She was also in Mona Lisa Smile a couple years ago, which was very successful. There are other, I guess I just cant remember them.

I had the pleasure of working on this film. Kirsten Dunst was an absolute doll! They had a former Treasury agent as a consultant on the White House protocol and he told some great stories!

It was? I liked it, but I thought it didn't do that well at the box-office.

Yeah, it was pretty big actually. Anything with Julia Roberts in it will usually hit it pretty big. I thought the movie was good, but I expected it to be better than it was.

Oh, I saw this when it first came out! I didn't understand it until I watched it a second time but it's a great movie!
