Secret Lives of Dentists
This is cute. It's weird, but it's cute.
David (Campbell Scott) and Dana (Hope Davis) have an unsteady marriage that is pushed to the brink when David discovers Dana in a... compromising position. She's merely being flirtatious with someone in a crowded room and didn't know that David was there, so he never lets on, preferring to stay in a shaky marriage than initiate an ending.
As the tension builds, David creates an imaginary friend (Denis Leary in his angriest) to help him cope and voice all of his anxiety. Things with his three children get bad as they pick up on the tension between the couple.
This movie is from David's perspective, so the view of Dana is harsh and unflattering. There's a lot of vomiting and not much else. But this movie isn't plot based, it's character based and the questions it poses are interesting.
Not a fast paced action packed thriller, but it poses good questions and is quietly enjoyable.
