"Novocaine Viewing Guide: Showtimes and Streaming Options"

After a press tour that showcased Jack Quaid progressively looking more battered, including a notable appearance at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," stars as a man who feels no pain, and it seems he embraces the chance to be covered in fake blood for the role.

In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson praises "Novocaine" for offering "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."
