Novocaine Viewing Guide: Showtimes and Streaming Options

After a whirlwind press tour that left Jack Quaid looking progressively more battered at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has finally hit theaters. Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," stars as a man who feels no pain, seemingly embracing the chance to get covered in fake blood for this 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."

If you're eager to catch "Novocaine" on the big screen or curious about when it will be available to stream, here's everything you need to know:
