Yes, Watergate was the crime of the century (until the recent TRE45ON trumped it) - but casting Hunt and Liddy as clandestine keystone cops (think of Peter Falk in the In-Laws or Kevin Klein in A Fish Called Wanda) was an unexpected delight.
I half expected a mini series in the vein of all the president's men - but this was straight comedy, and it is comedy gold. Yes, a bit over the top. But unapologetically. If you are looking for historical drama, Redford and Hoffman are still your best bet. But if you need political comic relief to take your mind off of real-world political stress, it's five hours well spent.
