The Dentist

“It's been six months. Time for your check-up!”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 60, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A successful dentist's personal collapse makes routine appointments substantially more upsetting than usual. Corbin Bernsen attacks the breakdown with operatic intensity, while the deliberately uncomfortable practical effects ensure that even the less convincing melodrama has something unpleasant to show its patients.
