Those expecting the typical gross-out Farrelly brothers (DUMB AND DUMBER, KINGPIN, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY) fare may be a bit mystified by this one.

The latest entry on the long list of follow-up disappointments will have to be Outside Providence, a film sort-of from the Farrelly brothers (There's Something About Mary) with practically none of its charm. Based on an old novel by Peter Farrelly, this i ...read the complete Outside Providence movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

The brothers Farrelly, Peter and Bobby, have had stupendous success with their comedies ``Dumb and Dumber'' and ``There's Something about Mary.'' So much success they have the clout to get a project made just because they want to make it. Their wish is Mi ...read the complete Outside Providence movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
