Novocaine (out Apr 3) is an entertaining jaunt. I’ll concede that it doesn’t always make sense, and you must lean into the silliness but if looking for a movie which nicely balances comedy and action, it’s a clear winner. It's the humorous take of a man (Jack Quaid), who can feel no pain, who goes in pursuit of the men who kidnapped his girlfriend. Grade: B+.
