This movie is not going to be what you expect - you would expect some rather interesting (sic.) sick things with a three legged dog and a brother in a wheelchair from this now notorious duo. What they deliver instead is a somewhat heartfelt story of a stoned, dysfunctional circle of friends and an even more disturbing family. Dangerously treading on formulaic and bordering on a music video to chortle away the day with your favorite bong, the movie does have some redeeming characteristics. The relationship between Timothy and Jane is compelling, Alec Baldwin may have found a perfect role, Timothy's friends are good for some quality laughs and are notoriously similar to friends that I had when growing up; but the move gets a bit too feel-goody at times.
The multiple subplots aren't adequately flushed out and as with many other coming of age movies, they end up spreading the story too thin. If you can see beyond it's faults, Outside Providence is a `good s**t..' and works as a date rental. 6/10
