 | Michelle Pfeiffer and Bruce Willis do an impecible job at creating a credible endurring romance of a quirky working mother and a father struggling to keep his passion for living. Rob Reiner did a very nice job working to keep the development of characters while not overloading the emphasis of the film upon any one point of time. The film remains witty and sharp in humor without flogging a dead horse or becoming overly sappy or trite. To all that have manned the rudder of life and navigated the straits of life overcoming overwhelming adversity at having to move on and grow will imediately fall in love with this film of the unwavering bond between a man and woman. This movie is a perfect choice for those that still believe in that age old dream that is love. |

| An outstanding film, The Story of Us, sheds light on a married couple trying to put their lives in order while their two children are away at summer camp. The couple takes advantage of their children's absence to figure out what they want in life and whether that includes each other!
It is a film about human relations, hope and second chances, but most importantly about trust, love, and inner strength.
Bruce Willis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and the rest of the cast, have outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs, not to mention quite a few tears. The film is simple enough, but does a great job of describing people's every day lives and the problems they face. It just goes to show that simplicity is often far better than complexity, when trying to present issues of a human nature.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, and the music are all wonderful!
In short, The Story of Us is a movie definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection!

| This movie is NOT a movie I would have picked to watch on my own. Although I like all the folks involved in the making of this movie....actors, actresses and the director, I knew from the previews I would NOT enjoy this movie.....I don't find self destruction entertaining. However, the movie was not only assigned by my professor, it WAS our final test. I ended up watching the darn thing 7 times before the test. The first few times were painful. It got better after that but only because I knew the ending. If you are looking for escapism and fun....do not rent or buy this movie! If you are studying Marriage and Family life and want to see all the ways NOT to make marriage work, then by all means....get this movie. |

| This is a romantic comedy that stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Bruce Willis as a married couple that are going through some difficult times. The movie depicts a lot of realistic problems that all couples experience in a relationship, but it does it with director Rob Reiner's fabulous sense of humor. The flashback sequence that Pfeiffer's character has near the end of the film is especially enjoyable. |

| This is a movie that does hit very close to home...that's what makes it so good! My husband and I were both in tears but the end, and we felt an instantaneous closeness at the same time. I loved the ending and highly recommend it for any married couples. It never hurts to remember why love is so precious. |
