January 27, 2008Director Rob Reiner's somber study of the collapse of a 15-year marriage probably wasn't intended to be so depressing. In using a continual flashback/flashforward style of storytelling, he ends up putting too much emphasis on the bickering between heartbroken mates and not enough... read more

September 23, 2007I love this film. Rob Reiner rocks. The story winds as a couple grows apart and somehow back together. Seems to show a true version of love and all that comes with it.

July 4, 2011The Story of Us is one of those movies, where the title tells you everything you need to know about the movie. I am by no means a fan of these sappy romantic comedies, however I do sometimes go out of my comfort zone for a movie that has a great cast. Bruce Willis is easily one o... read more

The Story of Us is flawed, but not seriously enough to curtail its ability to function as unpretentious entertainment. Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
The Story of Us is all too willing to settle for superficial comedy and pat answers at the expense of real insight.
