...opponent is a pencil-necked geek) 60% of the vote, and two months after his Inauguration, he starts to brown around the edges and disillusionment sets in, starting with the people who once worshiped the ground he trod on and now see that, alas, he is a dumb cluck like everyone else and has no solutions for problems such as ignorance and cruelty and the aging process...
...voice-overs la Kevin in "The Wonder Years." Of course, the issues at stake are more perverse. "They say a man who screws a woman honors her," we hear after Paul rebuffs her advances. Later, she observes, "Women are the victims men need for atonement" and "Love is dumb--it's just a power trip."

Certainly it leads one to re-examine the premise of Peter and Bobby Farrelly. Up to now they have been our gross-out geniuses (Dumb & Dumber, There's Something About Mary), and Miramax wouldn't mind if you thought Outside Providence was more of the same. But adapting a novel by Peter and working with director Michael Corrente, the siblings, who also produced this film, maintain their best quality, which is a kind of unblinking frankness about our basic humanity, while skipping the bathroom jokes. You won't miss them...
