Even though it was directed by
Michael Corrente
,
Outside Providence
is
the Farrelly Brothers
' coming-of-age story; it was co-written by the brothers and
Corrente
, based on a novel
Peter Farrelly
wrote. Unlike the duo's previous hit comedy
There's Something About Mary
is a period piece, set in the early '70s, which means that its
soundtrack
can be filled with classic
rock
favorites. And it is. There's not a song here that isn't regularly on either oldies or classic
stations or regularly heard on TV commercials (the possible exception is
Ten Years After
's
"I'd Love to Change the World,"
which isn't aired all that often). So, predictable it may be, but the
is still entertaining, since each of the 12 songs -- including
"Won't Get Fooled Again,"
"Band on the Run,"
"Take It Easy,"
"Do You Know What I Mean,"
"Do It Again,"
"All Right Now,"
"Roundabout,"
"Dancin' in the Moonlight,"
"No Matter What"
and
"Free Bird"
-- are quite strong. It will be a nice souvenir for fans of the film, but anyone looking for a solid sampler of early-'70s
AM pop
album-rock
hits will enjoy the
as well. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
