Where to Watch Novocaine Online

Following Jack Quaid's increasingly bruised appearances during promotional events—most notably spotted looking battle-worn at a Clippers game—Novocaine has finally hit theaters. The R-rated action comedy stars Quaid as a pain-proof protagonist, cementing his reputation as an actor who appears drawn to roles requiring copious fake blood.

IGN critic Lena Wilson praised the film, noting "Novocaine transcends its seemingly gimmicky premise with sharp storytelling and memorable characters that capture the pure joy of theatrical moviegoing."

For those planning theater visits or wondering about streaming availability, here's what you need to know.
