Outside Providence
Advertised as "the outrageous new comedy from the guys who made There's Something about Mary." Well, not exactly. True, it's based on a semi-autobiographical novel by Peter Farrelly, and he and brother Bobby worked on the script. But so did Michael Corrente (Federal Hill, American Buffalo), who then directed it. The result, far from outrageous, though not far from crude, is a perfectly ordinary coming-of-age comedy, with particular emphasis on drugs, Seventies goldie-oldies, and a big meanie on the staff of an Eastern prep school. With Shawn Hatosy, Amy Smart, Alec Baldwin. 1999.
