Looking for something to do on a rainy day this summer? Then allow me to recommend going to the movie store and renting Dick, starring Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams.

In this movie, Dunst and Williams play ditzy fifteen-year-olds who live in Washington, D.C. in 1972. One night when Betsy (Dunst) is sleeping over Arlene’s (Williams) place at the Watergate Appartment Complex, they accidentally cause the buglars in the Democratic offices to get caught stealing documents for President Richard “Dick” Nixon (Dan Hedaya). The next day when Betsy and Arlene are at the White House on a school trip, they are recognized by some of Nixon’s men and are then taken to be interrogated. Nixon sees Arlene and Betsy while they are being questioned and he then asks them to be his Official White House Dog Walkers to his dog, Checkers, so he can keep an eye on them.

After the girls become the Official White House Dog Walkers, they start baking cookies for the president that have a “special” ingredient in them, the leaves that are in their walnut jar, but it’s later revealed by Betsy’s brother that the leaves aren’t walnut leaves but his weed (yes, they were unknowingly given the president weed!!). Eventually the girls find out all the bad things about Nixon and become Deep Throat, the source who revealed to Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward (Will Ferrel) and Carl Berstein (Bruce McCulloch) that Nixon had planned the Watergate burgalry.

This movie is super funny, as it tends to work it’s name Dick into several hilarious lines in the movie such as “Dick frightens me.” and “You can’t let Dick run your life!” which everyone around them hears and takes the wrong way (LOL!). The movie also includes some really cool 70s fashion, like the American flag outfits seen above on Dunst and Williams, and it has an awesome soundtrack loaded with 70s classics including Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain and Patti LaBelle’s Lady Marmalade.

So next time you’re looking for a really good and funny movie to pass the time away, try 1999′s hidden jewel Dick.
