MOVIE REVIEW: NOVOCAINE * 1/2 (1 and a half stars out of 4).
External link:
I'm never clear on whether this Steve Martin movie is a murder mystery or a black comedy, and in trying to be both, it winds up being neither one satisfactorily. As a murder mystery, the plot is too contrived to be believed, but as a black comedy, it's to gritty and not that funny. Interestingly, I watched the deleted scenes on the DVD, and all of them had a much more comic bent than the movie. Without being laugh-out-loud funny, they each at least set a tone of macabre humor that might have made the movie more watchable. Still there were a few clever and amusing scenes (the scenes with Kevin Bacon are great), and also some really disturbing scenes at the end.
