"description": "For a movie that isn't stellar and that doesn't step outside the bounds of genre expectations, Novocaine is a ton of fun. That's in no small part due to the fact that Jack Quid is every bit as charismatic as his parents (as is Ray Nicholson — what a wonderfully deranged, villainous performance). Amber Midthunder and Quaid have undeniable chemistry and that chemistry is what makes an altogether bloody, comedic romp so damn charming. Nate Caine can't feel pain. Novocaine . Get it? Funny. A less durable, restrained Deadpool as an assistant bank manager. Nate falls for Sherry after a single date, Sherry gets kidnapped, Nate destroys himself to get her back. It's as adorable as it is bloody. The promotional material gives the whole thing away, but that sets your expectations where they need to be to enjoy this.",
