Title: Good Performances, but occasionally irritating
Review: Good Points: Will Ferrell and Bruce McCullough are hilarious as caricatured Woodward and Bernstein, and Saul Rubinek has some great scenes as Kissinger explaining his foreign policy theories to the teenagers. Michelle Williams adds some nice touches as she develops and loses a crush on the president (itself a funny twist of the movie).But some of the actors think they are funnier than they really are. Kirsten Dunst totally overplays the ditziness to irritation (I hate to say it because she has become exceptionally easy on the eyes), and other supporting actors try too hard to steal scenes. Could have been much funnier if you didn't get the impression that the actors kept convincing themselves how gosh-darn funny they are.
