Perfect cast and a good story

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

These are vignettes of the relationship between Peter (Jason Ritter) and Vandy (Jess Weixler) in Manhattan. It jumps around in their story from their meeting at the park, their fighting married friends Paul (Jesse L. Martin) and Marissa (Tracie Thoms), their petty fights, their break-up and their post break-up.I love Ritter and Weixler. They are able to create some good chemistry at times. Martin and Thoms are a fun battling couple but it's too bad that they don't get many scenes. This is a short 80 minutes and it feels like a little thin. There needs to be something more. Ritter and Weixler could have done more but it's still good.

This is a really nice little indie romance from writer/director Jay DiPietro, with two of the most attractive young talents in films - both Weixler and Ritter are irresistibly likable and the film is well written and is photographed (by Frank DeMarco) with wit and polish in a quality production. Ritter's excellent work in "Good Dick," is carried on here and why Weixler is not a bigger Hollywood personality is beyond me (and I've been reviewing movies professionally since 1981). She is smart, has depth, and has a fascinating look. He is an actor with a gift for naturalism. They are very much in sync in this cleverly woven Manhattan tale.

This was bloody fantastic. Beautiful. Not overdone, just perfect, with its simplicities, complexities, nuances, tremors and silences. Why 6? I really don't understand it. I cannot imagine anyone voting for lesser than 7 for this one at least. Strong leads, poignant, perfect emotions, and a fulfilling ending. Overwhelms, in a happy, warm way that nudges you, but doesn't push you over. Control and release, repeat.This is a rant that is from the obvious movie rush that I am suffering from. I probably won't stop.Nevermind. I will make my point here, once again-please do watch it. It hurts in a sweet, sweet way. Yes.

Some viewers are comparing this to '500 Days of Summer' and liking it better. I was disappointed in it, BUT compared to this bore. '500 Days of Summer' was great,it at least was interesting. 'Peter & Vandy' has a total running time of 79 minutes (including 10 minutes of credits (opening & closing.I feel sorry for those who spent money to view this. even renting the DVD is not worth it, (there are no extras)/Jay DiPietro is the writer & director. His idea of having a time shift for some scenes is not bad BUT, the time period & settings are about the same. Confusing top say the least.Jason Ritter is Peter and Jess Weixler is Vandy, Jason tries hard, but Miss Weixler does not come across.No one in cast comes over as even likable, they are not persons I would care to see again.As per IMDb it had a very short run in only one theatre,it was a Sundance Festival selection.. IMHO Sundance is not as good as it was when they started out. What s big let downRatings: * (out of 4): 33 points (out of 100) IMDb 3 (out of 10)
