"Novocaine Viewing Guide: Showtimes and Streaming Details"

Following a press tour where Jack Quaid appeared increasingly battered at a Clippers game, the much-anticipated R-rated action comedy Novocaine has hit theaters. Quaid stars as a man who feels no pain, a role that seems to suit his penchant for getting covered in fake blood, as seen in his work on 'The Boys.'

IGN critic Lena Wilson praised the film, noting that "Novocaine offers more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise may lead you to believe," with "clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun."
