Storyline

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.—Matt Cotnoir



Short Review

This is a sweet, funny little movie, and with luck it can survive the marketing con job. Outside Providence is winning enough on its own terms.
