Movie Description
Arlene (Michelle Williams) and Betsy (Kirsten Dunst) wander away from their tour group while visiting the White House and stumble upon one of Nixon's infamous top-secret document shredding sessions. Seeking to uncover how much the two girls have discovered, Nixon appoints them "Official White House Dog Walkers" but it's not long before the ditzy duo go from taking out Checkers to taking on "Tricky Dick" in this fun, WAG THE DOG-meets-CLUELESS political send-up. Dan Hedaya (CLUELESS) stars as Richard Nixon.
