The Secret Lives of Dentists (2002)

I really liked it but Bill Hicks would have done this film justice

[7/10 · 10 February 2006]

I kept wondering throughout the film how Bill Hicks would have been better in the role than the Dennis Leary, the thief who stole his persona. I even imagined a double haunting where Bill haunted Dennis just as Dennis was haunting the dentist. I'm sure it was happening in The Real Life Of Dennis but we just couldn't see it. I think we should just blackball Dennis until he gets the picture and goes away forever. Leary just ruins any movie because he's profiting from the talent of a man who died of cancer. I really liked the other people in the film but the topic was just too close to what Dennis Leary did to poor Bill Hicks -- too much haunting from a guy who should be the haunted.
