I always thought that D-ck was a great well written underrated comedy.  It had me rolling through the whole thing.  It kind of worked off the Forrest Gump formula of the "what if?" concept of how historical events could have happened.  Dan Hedaya (played Nick Tortelli on Cheers amongst other roles) played a hilarious, almost perfect rendition of Nixon.  The supporting cast playing Nixon's cabinet members were so dead-on as well (especially Henry Kissenger).

I think this is one of Kirsten Dunst's first films too.  Loved it.

Doesn't The name of movie title called "D*CK seem pornographic to you in a way like also in the movie title "Snatch"?

This movie is a great rewriting of American History. I laugh everytime I see it (yes, I have seen it several times). The only thing I didn't like about was the way they portray Woodward and Bernstein-making them total idiots. And yes, it is very underrated.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!

it's seriously one of my all-time favorites. i've watched it a trillion times. i think michelle williams was so good in it, it was the first time i thought of her as somebody talented rather than just that goofy dawsons creek chick.

the director did another movie called "the craft" that's also very good. about witches.

the DVD has a fun commentary track with the director and screenwriter and a featurette/blooper reel with dan hedaya doing a pretty amazing ad lib acting like a tinpot dictator behind the oval office. i think they borrowed that set from like "nixon", the oliver stone movie, or something.

i love the moment in front of the TV when nixon resigns. "well, that's that. they'll never lie to us again!"
