Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

merklekranz Part stoner movie, part "Animal House" at prep school, and part family drama, "Outside Providence" really doesn't succeed at any of the above. Part of the problem is the chop shop editing, which unevenly shifts from comedy to drama. Special mention must be made of the soundtrack, which happens to be excellent. Alec Baldwin and his card playing buddies seem more like an afterthought, than an integral part of the movie. The whole thing comes across more like a music video than a feature film. Character development is spotty, and most of the story appears underdeveloped, probably because everything moves at such a rapid pace. - MERK

Johnny10 Outside of Providence is the kind of movie you put on when your bored or you've seen everything else. The movie itself isn't that raunchy or crude nor that funny. But outside of providence has it's moments most of the scenes with Jon Abrams as Drugs Delaney will get a few laughs but what my personally favorite parts in this film were the hilarious annual poker games with Alec Baldwin and his friends, every time they played cards i laughed out loud. I don't think the movie was written like most farrelly bros movies with a laugh a minute movie but this is rather more relaxed and it's an easy film to digest, once you leave you'll probably feel good about yourself. In conclusion, if you like easy and nice movies or you're just in the mood then give this one a try. One more thing although there is no sex in the film there is a lot of profanity and A lot of drug use (Smoking) and there is a scene of some sexual dialog so this isn't a family film either.

dav07dan02 Director: Michael Corrente, Script: Peter Farrelly (Novel), Michael Corrente, Bobby Farrelly, Cast: Shawn Hatosy, Tommy Bone, Alec Baldwin, Amy Smart, Jon Abrahams.Coming of age film about a group of stoner friends from the poor neighbourhood in the blue collar town of Pawtucket, R.I. The film is told from the point of view of Timmothy Dunphy, an underachiever whose main goal in life seems to be how much dope he can smoke. His mother committed suicide when he was just a small boy so it is just him, his disabled little brother and his father. One night while high on dope Tim smashes his car into a parked cop car! His old man has to bail him out of jail. In an attempt to turn his life around, old man Dunphy makes his son cut his hair and forces him to go to a strict boarding school in Connecticut. So here we have a poor kid at a rich prep- school. While here, he meets a rich, smart, preppy co-ed totally the opposite of himself but of course, they fall in love! This film has many funny as well as serious parts. During periods without dialog we hear many great rock songs from the 60's and 70's. The film was set in 1974. The 'bad guy' in the film is Mr. Funderberk (Timothy Crowe),the strict resident adviser or whatever you want to call him. Although a comedy, the film does have elements of drama. The scene with Tim talking to his old man about his mother is sad. His girlfriend Jane (Amy Smart) gets accepted to Brown but she gets accused of something she didn't do so her acceptance gets reversed as a result. Tim goes to Brown University and tries to see the Dean but the secretary told him he was booked the whole day and that he would have to make an appointment. Tim manages to get into the Dean's office through the window. He then proceeds to tell the Dean the truth about Jane.This movie was based on a semi-autobiographical novel by Peter Farrelly. The Farrelly brothers are from Rhode Island and many of their movies are filmed there. I wonder how close this film parallels his real teenage years. It would be interesting to read the book.

pisces7 I was surprised how much I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny, it was sweet and the plot was interesting. It was also really plausable and very familiar to kids that age. I actually didn't want to rent this movie because I am not a fan of the Farelli Bros. but it took me by shock. I loved the characters, especially the main character. This movie was sweet but at the same time sort of odd (3 legged dog). I always enjoy a movie that I find to be slightly on a different track than others that come around around the same time. This movie was something unique and I wish I'd seen it earlier.
