Top Critic
Top Critic The performers’ warmth and air of good cheer make one forgiving of the film’s predictability.

It’s somewhat ironic that writer-actors Vincent and Mike Pagano intend “Providence” to be a film about getting past ethnic stereotypes, since they apparently couldn’t.

A film for those people who think My Big Fat Greek Wedding is the greatest comedy of the past ten years
