The Dentist

Watched by: Casey

Summary: Narcissistic rich man with OCD, plays out all your dentist fears or fantasies after discovering his wife cheating on him.

Review: Thought I was going to be weirded out since I'm not a huge fan of the dentist. Instead, I found it super funny to watch all the dentist tropes. You have the plucky nurse, a waiting room where you show up on time for your appointment, but the dentist is late, dentist rooms that are themed with calm music, and tools that look like medieval torture devices. My favorite scene was the dental school. Was hoping a spin-off movie. Don't think that is what The Dentist 2 is about.
Also was a little confused on the Tax man. I get why it was happening, but seemed non-sequitur to the rest of the movie. Also, quite a few actors and actresses that have appeared in a lot of newer movies. So that was interesting to watch. Totally called the ending though within the opening.

Honestly, if someone re-made this movie with more of a budget, re-wrote the Dentist's motivation, and then added some more extreme versions of the satire part. It would be a great movie.
