'The Story of Us' is a sad movie about the misery of a married couple who fight most of the time. Watching it is like taking a long trip in a small car with the Bickersons. I leave it to you to guess whether the movie has a happy ending, but what if it does? A movie like this is about what we endure while we're watching it, not about where it finally arrives.

Lightheartedly conveys that the sources of marital love can be renewed even after a period of spiritual dryness.

This is a second-rate Woody Allen midlife crisis comedy without the laughs.

This one gets stuck in a rut pretty early on and has difficulty rising out of it.

Its manufactured crises and too-glib jokes give it a facile, fraudulent air.

There is a desperate phoniness about director Rob Reiner's The Story of Us.

I like what the film tries to do with this theme but shuddered as it was reduced to repetitious confrontations and hollow wisecracks.

Watching these two attractive actors verbally slug it out is about as much fun as experiencing your own divorce.

A collection of performances that are more than the creaky material deserves.

There is no need to run right out. See a Matinee.
January 01, 2000
A film that disappoints on every level.

The Story of Us is a story of confused intentions and misused talents.
January 01, 2000
The Story of Us is all too willing to settle for superficial comedy and pat answers at the expense of real insight.
