Novocaine
Novocaine
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we are seduced by a drug-seeking junkie, then burdened by a no-good strung-out brother, smothered by an obsessive-compulsive, wound-up June Cleaver and threatened by an incestuous drug dealer. Steve Martin stars as your run-of-the-mill neighborhood dentist who quickly falls victim to a snowball effect of mayhem leaving him wanted for murder and running from the cops, the DEA and a dedicated actor doing research for his next film. Writer/director David Atkins creates this clever spoof of film noir with an ode-to-Hitchcock twist and a retro voice-over narration that keeps you entertained and laughing, but leaves you wary of your next visit to the dentist's office.
