Novocaine Review

Novocaine

So Novocaine stars Steve Martian and he's this dentist and he's suspected of murder and well this is supposed to be like this dark comedy and well its just weird. Now the acting in this movie is good I like Steve Martin as an actor, Helena Bonham Carter is this love interest in the movie and she's kind of a drug addict and well the chemistry between these two characters is just weird and awkward and I just don't see it. The movie has an interesting premise and its interesting but again it just comes off as weird in my opinion. The movie is supposed to be this dark comedy and I just didn't see anything in this movie that was even really remotely funny I just think that it was weird. I thought this movie was kind of boring and just not interesting at all, I didn't feel that there was really a lesson to be learned or anything like that in this movie it was just a movie that sounded interesting and was actually boring and just kind of dark and weird. I guess I don't know what else to say about this movie, its just kind of boring and I really didn't enjoy it. I guess I just didn't really understand what this film set out to do really.


So lets see what the people are saying. So I think that a lot of people are in agreement with me when I said that the movie is kind of strange and the meaning is kind of unclear. People thought that the acting in this movie was very good which I agree the acting is good, its nothing spectacular but it is decent.  There are people who thought that the script was a little strange and I think that goes along with what I said before that the movie is weird and I just don't understand really what it was trying to get at. I think that there are a couple of people who are super big Martin fans and they maybe just liked this movie for that reason, I guess I don't know. There some people who liked this movie and thought it was funny and dark and like a horror film that they actually enjoyed for me though it was just weird. A few people are saying that the movie is slow and I guess I kind of agree with that the start of the movie we just see a lot of dental kind of things and I don't know but I kind of felt like the movie needed to get to the point and get to the murder part of it, I think I felt that I didn't really  get the plot for a while and I just agree with that the beginning is slow. So I guess there is kind of some mixed reviews with the people some like this movie and some just hate this movie.




As far as my rating goes I'm going to give this movie a 3/10!




So what did you think? Did you agree?
