Movie Review
Grade: B
Steve Martin has been all but missing from theaters in the last couple of years, and it seems that at least a couple of his films - The Spanish Prisoner for one - have taken darker twists. His latest venture, the limited release, darkly comical thriller Novocaine, about a dentist who is unwittingly drawn into a web of lies and betrayal, and becomes a murder suspect, shows that he is once again trying to broaden his range from light comedies to more serious fare. But, is Martin up to the task? Read the full movie review
