9th Grade Journalism student reviews

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2010)

by Malory Kresta:
Suspenseful, entertaining, informing. It keeps you wanting more. History and Journalism lovers alike- this is the movie for you. Bob Woodward (played by Robert Redford from "The Great Gatsby") and Carl Burnstein (played by Dustin Hoffman from "Meet the Focker's"), are two reporters for the Washington Post.
Could President Nixon be trying to cover for the robbers? Did he have anything to do with the break in at all? Well, you'll have to watch the movie to find out.
This thriller, directed by Allan J. Pakula, usually keeps you watching at the edge of your seat. That is with the exception of those few scenes that drag on to make it sort of boring.
This movie may scare you with its harsh reality of Whitehouse politics, but it all actually happened. This four time Oscar winning movie won me over and I gave it three out of five stars.

"If you're gonna do it, do it rightDon't mind what you did, just the way you did it." One of many famous quotes in the movie All the President's Men.
The movie introduces Bob Woodward (Robert Redford), and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman). The 1970s movie, directed by Allan J. Pakula is about two reporters whose job is to find out the story behind the Watergate Hotel break in, and the foul play President Nixon, and his Republican party participated in.
Robert Redford has starred in The Untouchables, The Way We Were, and The Sting. Dustin Hoffman has starred in Little Big Man, The Graduate, and The Point. Both are very talented actors, and a real pleasure to watch. The way they play off each other is a great plus.
All the President's Men is a drama, and it does fulfill everything you would hope to see. There's suspense, good information, and it's very entertaining, above all.
Although the movie can be boring at times, and drag on at some points, it's worth the watch. The rating is PG-13, and is rated eight stars out of ten. However, I would give it ten stars from the beginning.
by Kat Honnen: This informative yet entertaining movie will hook you within the first couple of minutes. The suspense will keep you guessing what will happen next. You will want to sit down and not move until the whole movie is over and the mystery is solved. Right when the movie begins, you are taken to the scene of the star crime, the break in at Watergate's Democratic Headquarters, in Washington.
Co-stars Robert Readford, who plays Bob Woodworth and Dustin Hoffman who plays Carl Bernstein both strive to reveal the truth behind the lies. These two reporters have their differences, but look past them for the sake of their newspaper; 'The Washington Post'.
Trying to beat the other papers to the story and avoid those who are displeased with their actions, the two men work all hours, nonstop to reveal the culprits. The shocking truth will leave you stunned.
The exceptional acting will leave you speechless. Dustin Hoffman, also in The Rainman, The Graduate, and The Tale of Despero played the smooth-talking reporter who got the job done, even if his methods were a bit unethical. Robert Redford from Charlotte's Web, The Sting, and The Way We Were plays the more responsible reporter who also got the job done and did it the right way.
This movie is for anyone who loves a good mystery with some history mixed in and doesn't mind sitting still and paying attention for a while.

All The Presidents Men, a drama and history and full of suspense, the director is Alan J Pakula. The movie was released in 1976 and won four Oscars. It was a very good movie and with good actors such as Dustin Hoffman playing Carl Bernstein and Robert Redford playing as Bob Woodward, you might remember some of these actors from other movies such as "Rain Man" and "The Sting".
The movie depicts on to young writers trying to get the information on what they need for the Washington Post , and were deep throat tells him to "follow the money". The movie is Rated Pg-13 and might be good for other journalist to watch. They were just trying to solve the Watergate witch had really happened in 1972 and the guy later resigned. This movie is suspenseful.
Bob Woodward who is know manager editor of the Washington Post , but if you would like to know more about this wonderful movie just watch it and you'll be surprised.
By Cassidy Wallace:
"All the President's Men", is a thriller with a suspenseful ending. Two reporters, Bernstein(Dustin Hofmin), who also stared in "Racing Stripes", "The Graduate", "Rain Man", and "Meet the Fockers". Bob Woodward is played by Robert Redford . He also stars in , "Lions for Lambs", "Charlottes Web", "Up Close and Personal", and "The Sting". This story changed journalism. Investigative journalism. The two reporters stand up to the "New York Times". They work for "The Washington Post"
They work together to solve the Watergate break in. "Follow the money" He says.
This movie also makes one of our country's most important decisions that may shock you in the end.
I give the movie 4 of 10 stars. The movie is not rated, but parents be advised that there is some foul language.
