Top Critic[A] witless farce.
11/11/05
A warm-hearted ethnic comedy in the vein of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Top CriticThe performers’ warmth and air of good cheer make one forgiving of the film’s predictability.

It’s somewhat ironic that writer-actors Vincent and Mike Pagano intend “Providence” to be a film about getting past ethnic stereotypes, since they apparently couldn’t.
