Very funny parody of the unraveling of Nixon, by this story at the hands of two high school girls, one of whom lives at the Watergate and happens upon G. Gordon Liddy and gang. They then visit the White House on a student tour, and become seminal in our nation's history.

Dave Foley is hilarious as H.R. Haldeman, Dan Hedaya is a workable Nixon (priceless is one girl's fantasy - she has fallen in love with "Dick", who supplants Bobby Sherman - which has Hedaya ride up on horseback on the beach to tell the girl "Pat understands"), and Bruce McCullouch and Will Ferrell are laugh-out-loud as a fey and bickering Bernstein and Woodward.
