Title: A big disappointment
Review: This movie stars Steve Martin, Helena Bonham Carter, and Laura Dern, three terrific actors. And in fact, this movie was very well acted.But the story was just intolerable. Martin plays a gullible dentist drawn into a plot to steal his office narcotics & hijack his business. But Martin's character, Dr. Frank Sangster, makes one incredibly stupid decision after another, to the point of unbelievable absurdity.For the most part, the story was dull. The plot was dumb, and the villains motive is never explained: why would someone develope such an extremely elaborate plot to steal a dental practice? And the final "twist" that other reviewers refer to was even more absurd. It was painful to watch this movie.But the biggest mystery remains: how these wonderful actors got suckered into this movie?
