Reviews for Outside Providence
[The first] shot is pure Farrelly, but the rest of the movie doesn't match its humor.
...the performances and the genuinely interesting script make this one worth checking out.
I wish I had been outside of Providence instead of watching this mess.
Outside Providence is the kind of film that, 10 minutes after the closing credits roll, you can't help forgetting.
Hatosy shines beyond most of his teen peers, and Alec Baldwin could even get a Best Supporting Actor nomination.
