Woodward: We are gonna keep your identity a secret
Betsy: to protect us?
Woodward: no, this is just really embarrassing

Have you ever wanted an All the President's Men parody from Deep Throat's point of view, where Woodward and Bernstein are played by Will Farrell and Bruce McCulloch? Well, have I got a movie for you. Dick's premise is that Deep Throat was a couple of bubble-headed teenage girls (Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst) who really didn't understand what was happening, but were somehow responsible for everything that happened around Watergate. It's actually more clever than it seems and has quite the comedy DNA - a couple of Kids in the Hall, Dan Hedaya, Terri Garr, Saul Rubinek, an unknown up-and-comer called Ryan Reynolds... Wait a minute. Was this American political comedy shot in Canada?! Haha. Despite Nixon being the villain of the piece, the comedy allows for one of the most sympathetic portrayals of the tricky American President, or maybe it's all down to Hedaya, an expert at playing endearing slimeballs (further proof: Nick Tortelli on Cheers). Bit of a forgotten charmer, this one. 1 year 11 months ago
