Steve Martin playing a dentist once again... for those of you who remember he was also the dentist in the movie "Little Shop of Horrors". Steve Martin shows why he is still a much asked actor for comedies, even though his best roles are long since behind him, he still knows how to handle the genre and time things in his performances, without ever going over-the-top with anything. Helena Bonham Carter is a great femme fatale for this movie and Laura Dern also plays a surprising role. The movie also has solid supporting actors in it such as Lynne Thigpen, Elias Koteas, Keith David and Scott Caan. Kevin Bacon also makes a totally fun cameo as an actor who is doing research for a cop role. The story is enough to draw you into the movie. It has some unexpected twists, although these all occur …
