"Novocaine Viewing Guide: Showtimes and Streaming Options"

Following a press tour that saw Jack Quaid progressively looking more battered at a Clippers game, the much-anticipated R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," plays a man who feels no pain, seemingly embracing his character's trait by getting covered in fake blood during promotional events.

In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson praised "Novocaine" for offering more depth than its seemingly gimmicky premise might suggest. She highlighted the film's "clever storytelling and character writing," which she feels harkens back to the joy of watching movies in theaters.
