In the absence of the real story behind Watergate informer "Deep Throat," director Fleming offers up his version of All the President's Men. Woodward and Bernstein rely not on a White House insider but on two ditzy teen-aged girls, who stumble onto one damning detail after another when they're hired to walk the president's dog. Blending history and farce into an amusing game of "what if," Dick is as smart as it is funny.
