Now the truth is out there: Deep Throat was actually two giggly teenage girls who stepped into Nixon's dirty tricks during their jobs as Official White House Dog Walkers.

Blends the drama of All the President's Men with the wisdom of The Brady Bunch.

Manages to land itself somewhere between All the President's Men and Clueless, with brilliant comic performances throughout.
