The only enjoyment of watching inarticulate modern day American love birds Peter (Jason Ritter) and Vandy (Jess Wexler) interacting in Manhattan, comes from deciding which one is more insufferable.

With slightly better camera work than you'd expect from a home movie, director Jay Di Pietro's interminable addition to the nearly dead "mumblecore" genre, of which Jason Ritter is a poster boy, follows overworked time-flipped vignettes wherein Ritter and Wexler do the things that young couples do, shop, argue, and break up.

The trouble is that they do things all wrong and slow.

Just because two people are staring at the other one's navel instead of their own, doesn't mean they're not still staring at a navel.
