Leave your thoughts about The Story of Us.
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanPungent, funny, and surprisingly forceful. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenReiner coaxes yet another surprisingly adept performance by Bruce Willis who once again does not lay his finger on a gun, and gets some movement from one of my least favorite gorgeous actresses, Michelle Pfeiffer. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe Story of Us is flawed, but not seriously enough to curtail its ability to function as unpretentious entertainment. |
| culturevulture.netArthur LazereThe Story of Us is a full length sitcom that's missing both the sit and the com. |
| Orlando WeeklyPhilip BoothReasonably well-acted but executed without much grace or style. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternIf you see this shrill, clumsy comedy... you may wonder if the movie could have been saved by another director (instead of Rob Reiner) working with other writers (instead of Alan Zweibel and Jessie Nelson). |
| Miami HeraldPhoebe FlowersDisturbingly lightweight and emotionally risk-free. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatLightheartedly conveys that the sources of marital love can be renewed even after a period of spiritual dryness. |
| New York PostJonathan ForemanDoesn't live up to the promise of its trailers. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakThe Story of Us doesn't delve very deeply into the emotional mayhem that reigns the 15-year relationship between Ben and Katie Jordan. |
