Thursday Matinee Movie Film Series: "Dick" (1999)

Comedy on Film:  Time to Laugh

Screwball comedy, visual gags, slapstick, one-liners.  Let's give ourselves permission to laugh this autumn with our popular film series moderated by educator Victor Messick as we present a range of American comedy featuring classic films and selected film clips.

What really happened during the Watergate scandal?  After wandering off during a White House tour, two high school girls (Kirsten Dunst & Michele Williams) inadvertently become Richard Nixon's top secret advisers at the height of the Watergate scandal.  Silly-stupid, smart-funny. A FUN "history lesson" with a good-mood upbeat 1970’s soundtrack that might bring back fond memories of that era.  (94 min.)
