After its Sundance premiere "The Secret Lives of Dentists," based on Jane Smiley’s best-selling novella “The Age of Grief,” quickly became a film festival favorite from coast to coast and enjoyed enthusiastic responses from critics and audiences during its limited theatrical release. This contemporary look at life, love and family -- called "one of the summer’s great discoveries” by The Wall Street Journal’s Joe Morgenstern and “a qualified treasure…hilariously on-target” by The Boston Globe’s Ty Burr - stars Campbell Scott ("Roger Dodger") and Hope Davis ("American Splendor," "About Schmidt"). Denis Leary ("Jesus’ Son," "The Thomas Crown Affair") and Robin Tunney ("The Wedding Party," "Vertical Limit") complete the talented cast with screenplay credit going to celebrated playwright and screenwriter, Craig Lucas ("Longtime Companion," "Prelude to a Kiss").
Employing this dental observation as a powerful metaphor about marriage and human relationships, "The Secret Lives of Dentists" brings a unique blend of humor and realism to the story of Dr. Dave Hurst (Campbell Scott), who shares a private clinical practice with his bright and attractive partner and wife Dr. Dana (Hope Davis). Step by step, together, they have created their "dream life," raising three beautiful children in their home and country house. But they are also opposites and The Secret Lives of Dentists prods at the complexities, paradoxes, and tender moments of their marriage, providing a very funny, truly insightful and completely human portrait of a “perfect” couple at a critical crossroads in their relationship.
