Peter and Vandy, is a movie that has successfully encapsulated the reality of relationships rather than maintaining the conventional good to see love fictions that show a lover running in an attempt to stop his/lover from boarding an air plane. It is certainly different and much closer to reality and real life relationships that the ones portrayed in the romantic comedy movies which show lovers moving around the streets in a way that is not so real. The newbie writer director Jay DiPietro totally disagrees with filming the mundane goings-on of any relationship and says that it is much more interesting to film and even watch the reality of the relationships. And he is successful in tingling us with those reality moments of our relationship.
This is a story of Peter, played by Jason Ritter and Vandy, played by Jess Weixler. This movie was said to be in no particular order and looks like that the director has attempted to play a jumbled up sequence of the event sin the starting, the middle and the ending. This trick does not work every time but in this particular case it does a little magic. But this non linear plot at times looks like to be a gimmick so that the film might look a little more interesting. But the director has successfully grasped the emotions and attention of the audience in a few scenes where we feel close to the characters and can empathize with their feelings. Such as in the scene where the characters are in an Indian restaurant and we can feel and sense the characters emotions because now we have traveled with them in their story and now feel close and related to them.
This movie is an honest display of the message that we all can mess up when we have to love and share ourselves. The director and the editor, Geoffrey Richman has done a good work in the cutting and pasting to capture our attention.
