Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Secret Lives of Dentists (2003)

A really truthful film, filled with fantasy sequences so common to those who let their thoughts run away with them. Campbell Scott (one of my favorite actors) just nails his role as a father first - taking his wife completely for granted. Until he's faced, literally, with her infidelity, he doesn't even notice what must have been going on for quite some time. Complaints: two out of the three daughters don't have long-term acting careers ahead of them & Denis Leary's abrasive character feels unnecessary.

A-
