A funny and sometimes poignant coming-of-age drama.
Top CriticA coming-of-age story of exceptional warmth and humor.
MSNBC
Outside Providence is a modestly amusing coming-of-age comedy-drama that echoes many similar movies about the 1970s.
NUVO Newsweekly
The Farrelly brothers brand of humor is present, but the jokes are incorporated into a surprisingly effective coming-of-age story.

San Diego Union-Tribune
Baldwin is so good he deserves a Farrelly Oscar.
When the Farrellys have a point to make they know just the right language.
A lot of the movie has an honest, slice - of - life feel to it, and that really helps.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Delicately written and capably acted!
Outside Providence, despite its familiar formula, feels fresh!
Citysearch
Hatosy shines beyond most of his teen peers, and Alec Baldwin could even get a Best Supporting Actor nomination.
Greenwich Village Gazette
The characters, even ones that barely more than cameos, are well rounded and fully drawn.
