Synopsis
Oscar-nominee Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst star as teens Betsy Jobs and Arlene Lorenzo who, after taking a wrong turn on a White House tour, stumble across a room packed full of President Nixon's secrets. In an effort to find out exactly what the girls know, "Tricky Dick" Nixon himself (Dan Hedaya - Swimfan) appoints them as official White House dog walkers and the girls become hilariously embroiled in the political intrigue of the world's most famous break-in: Watergate. Along the way, they'll be stonewalled by Bob Haldeman (Dave Foley - NewsRadio), the mysterious G. Gordon Liddy (Harry Shearer - The Simpsons Movie), Henry Kissinger (Saul Rubinek - Triggermen), John Dean (Jim Breuer - Clerks) and Will Ferrell stars as Bob Woodward. Soundtrack is quite an eclectic mix with Yes, Grand Funk Railroad, Harry Nilsson, Jackson 5, Blue Swede, Bread and David Essex. Trivia: Will Ferrell tells Bruce McCulloch he "smells like cabbage", a reference to one of McCulloch's most famous characters on "The Kids In The Hall"; director Andrew Fleming wanted the feel of a 1970s movie and tried to frame scenes as he thought they might have been framed in a comedy from that era; G.D. Spradlin's (Ed Wood) last film.
