Admirable film.
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Outside Providence is a real feel good movie. It's starts out and you think it's going to be a stoner movie, or maybe a kid rise out of a broken family movie, you even hate the father immediately. Alec Baldwin is over acting that role, but at some point... you're saying to yourself: "It's just right". It is a caricature, but a sensible one.The evolution of the main character is truly believable, and you're given all the right milestones to his progression. The rescue he conjure up is even realistic.The acting is good, even if the stoners are overdone, especially the main one. The editing is invisible, the soundtrack well incorporated, the story interesting, the dialogues solid, and the romance very sweet.See it, and you'll have a good evening.
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
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.
Hello, this movie just happened to be on the other day and I had nothing to do so I just watched it. I ended up absolutely loving it! Anyway, I did not understand something that Drugs said. He was asking Dunph if Bunny Cote ever went out on dates and then after Dunph replied, Drugs stated that he goes to the movies by himself. I don't understand why he said that or how that related to the scene. Even though I don't understand what he meant, it really broke my heart when he said that. He was my favorite character and it was just TERRIBLE that he died in the film!!! If anyone could tell me what he meant by that, my understanding of the movie would be greatly improved. Thank you very much!!!
