Movie Description:
A boy from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, caught up in the drug scene of the mid-70s, gets in trouble one too many times with the law. To stave off a jail term, his father arranges for him to be placed into a prep school in Cornwall, Connecticut. The terms: Graduate, or else.
The ambiguity of youth and the road to maturity are addressed in asomewhatstoically humorous manner by the Farrelly Brothers in the comedy, `OutsideProvidence,' directed by Michael Corrente. Set in New England in 1974,thestory centers on Tim Dunphy (Shawn Hatosy), an irresponsibleseventeen-year-old who since the untimely death of his mother has livedwithhis gruff, blue-collar father (Alec Baldwin), his crippled youngerbrother,Jackie (Tommy Bone) and a one-eyed, three-legged dog. Life is less thanidyllic for Tim, but it doesn't seem to make much difference as long as hecan live in the moment and get high with his friends. In that respect, infact, life is pretty good. Tim's a senior in high school with nary a carein the world, until a car accident involving drugs and alcohol lands himinbig trouble, and he avoids incarceration only by the grace andinterventionof one of his father's `connected' cronies. Instead of jail time he issentaway to the prestigious prep school, Cornhill, whereupon graduation hisoffense will be expunged from his record. All he has to do is toe thelineand get through his senior year. But that senior year can last a longtime,especially after he meets Jane Weston (Amy Smart), the girl of his (andeverybody else's) dreams. So what is a lad to do, knuckle down, followtherules and put his life in order-- or follow his heart? Or, as Tim replieswhen a teacher asks him to name his favorite author, `Hamlet.' To be, ornot to be. And that is the question.<br><br>While not terribly original by any means, Corrente's film (which heco-wrote with Bobby and Peter Farrelly, adapted from the novel by PeterFarrelly) is funny and well presented, and has that quirky, recognizableFarrelly Brother's touch. There's even a poignant moment or two, and mostimportantly, this isn't a `silly' movie, and though the characters arefairly stereotypical, Corrente manages to give it something of a freshfaceand allows the humor to evolve naturally, never fishing for laughs ormanipulating the situations purely for the sake of hilarity. And it workswell; there are some genuinely funny scenes, some side-splitting lines andone signature Farrelly Brothers scene that involves a flashback of thetraumatic `hazing' of a freshman named Irving (Jack Ferver).<br><br>Shawn Hatosy gives a believable performance as Tim, and though he's notoverly charismatic or likable, he does create a character with whom manypeers and parents will be able to relate. Tim is a very real personfeelinghis way through a very precarious period of his life. And beyond thehumorous aspects of the film, there is actually some very crediblecharacterdevelopment evident in Tim's behavior, and in the final analysis theoverallpicture not only aspires to a higher level because of it, but succeeds inthat regard. Hatosy's Tim is very much the average kid who lives in yourneighborhood and works at the local fast food joint while he figuring outwhat life is all about. Without anything singular or remarkable abouthim,he is entirely true-to-life and honest.<br><br>As `Old Man Dunphy,' Baldwin gives a solid performance, and with limitedscreen time manages to establish his character with astute precision.LikeTim, Baldwin's character is real, and serves as a kind of core for thestory, and that realism of the characters is one of the strengths of thefilm. The `Old Man' maintains a gruff exterior-- a bravura by which tolive, if you will-- but you get a sense that there is something deeper tohim, while at the same time you realize that what you see is very much atrue perspective of who he really is as well. It's a matter of Baldwin'sability as an actor enabling him to infuse some complexity into acharacterthat could easily have been one dimensional in less capable hands.<br><br>The supporting cast includes Jon Abrahams (Drugs Delaney), Richard Jenkins(Barney), George Wendt (Joey), Adam LaVorgna (Tommy the Wire), TimothyCrowe(Mr. Funderbeck), George Martin (Dean Mort), Gabriel Mann (Jack) andKristenShorten (Bunny Cote). In a market veritably saturated for some time withcomedies about teen angst (most of which are silly, insignificant, devoidofreal humor and not worth the film they're printed on), with `OutsideProvidence,' Corrente and the Farrelly Brothers have to be given creditfordelivering one that is truly funny while at the same time anchored inreality. There is, in fact, more here than meets the eye upon the initialviewing. Not only does it capture the essence of the era in which ittakesplace, but a sense of reality that in the end is definitive of it, aswell.And it's done with humor, and without taking it over the edge, as theFarrelly Brothers are often wont to do. Ultimately, it's a satisfyingexperience, and it's the magic of the movies. I rate this one7/10.
