There was that _terrible_ scene in _Bring It On_ (don’t ask) where Kirsten Dunst and that awful Donny Osmond-look-alike are brushing their teeth. And flirting while they do it? 😕 ---

Stranger Than Fiction The Long Goodnight There are probably lots. Probably even toothbrushing after it was in someone’s bung. My follow-up question is “What was the _first_ movie to feature toothbrushing?” ---
