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 overacting his 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.
