Featuring several present and former "Saturday Night Live" regulars, Dick is a silly 8 minute SNL skit that runs on for 95 minutes. Set in 1972, two teenage girls (Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams) have a surprise White House meeting with former President Nixon (Dan Hedaya).

The two girls live in the Watergate Hotel complex. One night they encounter G. Gordon Liddy (Harry Shearer) in a parking garage staircase. The movie follows up that chance encounter with one improbable event after another. The President, who tells the dimwitted girls to "call me Dick," recruits them to be official White House dog walkers for his pet pooch, Checkers.

The only problem with that premise is that in reality Checkers was already up in doggie Heaven. Just about every factual tidbit in the film is historically inaccurate. Then again, who cares?

Dick identifies the girls as the real "Deep Throat," the mysterious Watergate figure who spilled the beans to Washington Post reporters Woodward and Bernstein. Those two are played by Will Ferrell and Bruce McCulloch. We hope the real journalists have a sense of humor. They won’t be flattered by the portrayals.

Younger audiences might enjoy seeing Dunst and Williams, but wonder who all the old guys are. It might have been more entertaining to have the ditzy pair spend the day at the mall. Older audiences, particularly political junkies, may enjoy seeing all the old guys. Saul Rubinek does a dead-on Henry Kissinger. As for the Nixon impersonation, Dan Hedaya comes across to me more as Bob Dole than Richard Nixon.

Richard Nixon died five years ago. Veteran CBS newsman Bob Schieffer observed at the time that "Richard Nixon left the White House in disgrace but 20 years later he left Earth with his dignity intact." Why besmirch his memory with this kind of half-witted satire?
