NRSynopsis
Better Living Through Chemistry (2014) is a dark US-British comedy you can watch online on iFILM, co-directed by David Posamentier and Geoff Moore. Douglas is a small-town pharmacist who inherited the shop from his father-in-law and has spent years being invisible. His wife runs the family, the town, and every decision that matters. Nobody asks what he wants.
Sam Rockwell plays Douglas opposite Olivia Wilde and Michelle Monaghan, with Jane Fonda voicing a sardonic narrator. When bored trophy wife Elizabeth walks in one afternoon, she sees potential in the quiet man behind the counter. She introduces him to pharmaceutical enhancement; he turns out to be very good at mixing things. Then she floats the idea of removing her husband from the picture entirely — and Douglas has to figure out where his limits actually are.
Rockwell carries the film on deadpan charm. Stream Better Living Through Chemistry online on iFILM.
