I think the major plus point of this film was the casting and makeup, especially Dave Foley as Haldeman, Harry Shearer as Liddy and Dan Hedaya as Tricky Dick himself. If you don't know much about the actual Watergate scandal, most of this movie will probably go over your head; but if you remember it, there are a lot of little details and little touches in the film that make for some great chuckles.
You have to remember not to take this movie too seriously -- it's great satire, but the light, mindless variety, not the deep, intellectual type.
