Movie Reviews of Novocaine
Movie Review: At par with Shop Girl
Summary: 5 Stars
This isn`t your typical Steve martin movie where he`ll act goofy. its serious just like shop girl but this movie could be received well. if they `ve used some other actor but Martin did justice to his role. its just, we aren`t used to watching him doing serious drama.Mainly if you are in health care profession then lesson you can learn from movie is,not to be deceived by looks it can cause lot of trouble for you .
Movie starts slow but then evolve into better and better play .Nutshell story is About a dentist finds himself a murder suspect after a sexy patient seduces him into prescribing her drugs.
Summary of Novocaine
NOVOCAINE - DVD MovieA screwball noir comedy that marks a promising directorial debut by first-timer David Atkins, Novocaine has a knack for the offbeat, beginning with the casting of Steve Martin as Frank, a dentist who traps himself in an escalating series of secrets and lies. Frank likens his dilemma to the insidious rot of tooth decay, personified by quirky drug addict Susan (Helena Bonham Carter), who enters his office, steals his narcotics, and draws him into an unexpected flirtation with disaster. Frank's brother (Elias Koteas) complicates matters almost as much as Susan's psycho brother (Scott Caan), but it's Frank's fiancée and hygienist (Laura Dern) who shotguns the movie to its outrageous and gruesomely off-putting conclusion. Erratic in tone and briefly amusing, Novocaine offers a few surprises (including an unbilled appearance by Kevin Bacon), but the movie never really finds its groove, and its curiously numbing effect makes the title just a bit too apropos. --Jeff Shannon
