Weekend Movie Forecast: Couples Retreat Vs. An Education

Indie romance Peter and Vandy tells the story of a young NYC couple's romance out of chronological order. Reviews are mixed, as epitomized by Lou Lumenick's NY Post review: "While there are some good individual scenes—like an argument over the proper way to make a PBJ sandwich—the story doesn't build on their chemistry. In fact, it's undercut by jumping around in non-chronological order, something that worked far better in '(500) Days of Summer.' DiPietro actually carried the gimmick over from his 2002 play he adapted for Peter and Vandy. But you know a low-budget indie has problems when it's less emotionally honest than a studio-backed project like '(500) Days.'"
