Peter and Vandy has a much smaller budget than 500 Days of Summer and some lesser known faces, but it is a solid little film.
Peter gets the courage to walk up to Vandy while she’s sitting in a town square eating her lunch. He’s a naturally nervous person who profusely apologizes for himself even though he’s not doing anything wrong. Vandy is a beautiful strong woman who falls for Peter after he gives her a thoughtful gift.
The conversations Peter and Vandy have together reminded me of conversations you could hear anyone have. I wonder if everything was completely scripted or if the actors did a lot of adlibbing. Peter and Vandy gives you the feeling that you are peering in on a real relationship, watching the problems of real couples.
Some people who watch may realize that they do the same things with their significant other. Fighting over little things, and letting those problems fester without resolving them can eat a relationship up from the inside out.
Peter and Vandy isn’t just a well constructed little flick, it is a wake up call for all those who have someone they truly love but take for granted.
