Critic Reviews

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    Dick leaves you hoping it finds the audience it clearly deserves.

  • David Edelstein, Slate

    This modest movie offers a convincing vision of Nixon White House operations as a sordid buffoon show undone by a couple of painfully earnest innocents.

  • Barbara Shulgasser, Chicago Tribune

    The movie has the comic sophistication of a creaky high-school skit.

  • Todd McCarthy, Variety

    Audaciously imaginative, devilishly clever!

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

    Makes other teen flicks seem like failures of imagination!

    A little underwhelming but nonetheless entertaining. Full review later.

    "Dick frightens me!" Saw it on cable only because of Will Ferrell's name mentioned in the credits. Well some good news... for some of you... Will Ferrell does not star in this movie. He has a short role as a reporter and doesn't do his typical kind of role. The… More
