02/11/06
Top Critic[A] witless farce.
11/11/05
A warm-hearted ethnic comedy in the vein of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
11/10/05
Top CriticThe performers’ warmth and air of good cheer make one forgiving of the film’s predictability.
11/10/05
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.
08/25/05
A pretty decent comedy of manners.
04/15/05
Hilarious and filled with wonderful characters and situations.

Top CriticA film for those people who think My Big Fat Greek Wedding is the greatest comedy of the past ten years
04/14/05
Zesty indie comedy from Rhode Island is a winner, with ethnic humor easily mixing with universal truths about dealing with families.
