6/10
No laughs, but a decent love story
3 September 1999
I'm kind of baffled as to how Outside Providence could be billed as a comedy. I think I laughed all of three times during the movie, and none were more than a chuckle. This film has also been called a "gross out" comedy. The only gross thing I remember is a guy getting puked on.

In spite of that, I did like the movie. I thought the relationship between Dunph and Jane was very comfortable and believable. And some of the interactions between Dunph and his friends (at home and at school) were entertaining.

I went into this film with very low expectations. I left with my expectations slightly more than fulfilled.

One note. The teenagers, to whom this film is targeted, will most likely be board.
