I just got done watching NOVOCAINE, and it was definitely not a laugh out loud comedy like I thought it would be. Steve Martin and cast did an excellent job in their roles, and the question of who the "bad" guy is, is concealed very well until the final climax. This film is definitely worth seeing, if not for Steve Martin's unusual, yet entertaining portrayal of a dentist caught up in sex, drugs, murder and being annoyingly questioned by a hippied Kevin Bacon!!! Scott Caan is truly a gem in this piece, entertaining through being a complete nutcase. This guy's goin' places! Overall, I give NOVOCAINE a rating of 8/10!
This was a very creative and "artsy" film that was frightfully entertaining. The scenes in the woods are my favorite, as you really see the dark and evil presence portrayed well. The only beef I have is that a faster pace at certain moments would've been beneficial, because I found myself lost, confused or disinterested at certain "dragging" moments of the film. Overall, not a bad film. 8/10 stars in my book!
