Description
Timothy Dunphy lives in a working-class neighborhood in Rhode Island, with his gruff father (Baldwin) and a three-legged dog. He spends most of his time goofing off and getting in trouble, until an accident with a police car forces him to transfer to an upper-class boarding school. There Tim must learn the ways of his new world, while exploring life and romance. A touching comedy, written and produced by the Farrelly brothers, creators of DUMB AND DUMBER and THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. Includes bonus footage and an alternate ending.

Distributor Notes
Outside Providence
From the hit-making Farrelly Brothers -- the guys who brought you THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY -- OUTSIDE PROVIDENCE stars Alec Baldwin (PEARL HARBOR) in an outrageously funny story about a kid who's grown up with nothing but a broken home, a three-legged dog, and a full-blown attraction to trouble! Everything changes for Timothy Dunphy (Shawn Hatosy -- ANYWHERE BUT HERE, THE FACULTY), however, when he crashes into a parked police car ... prompting his loudmouthed old man (Baldwin) to ship him from their blue-collar town to a snobbish prep school! But even though he's out of place, outclassed, and seriously outnumbered, nothing could have prepared Tim's new classmates for him! Also featuring Amy Smart (VARSITY BLUES), George Wendt (TV's CHEERS), and a great soundtrack of '70s hits, this acclaimed hit brings you more of the sidesplitting laughs you expect from a Farrelly Brothers comedy!
