I was miffed the first time I saw this film. Miffed that I had allowed the opinions of others to steer me away from it until it came out on DVD. What a lovely bitter sweet/sweetly bitter film. After seeing... Full review

Uplifting, romantic and funny, The Story of Us captures the shades of grey within a relationship. Bruce Willis is a terrific surprise, and quite different from his action roles. The Venice scenes (beautiful Venice! ... Full Review

Urban Cinefile
The Story of Us is an insightful and delightful romantic comedy that captures all those shades of gray. He talks about Bruce Willis as an extraordinary actor in terms of reality, simplicity and tremendous breadth, and believes that Michelle Pfeiffer is the most beautiful actress to have graced the screen. ...

Colorado Springs Independent
Don't bother to thank Rob Reiner for his entry into the discussion, the insipid and smug The Story of Us . The Story of Us asks us to endure the incessant bitching of Ben and Katie, then to accept their superficial making-up scene at the end, and accents it all with borderline offensive scenes featuring their rich, self-absorbed friends (Reiner, a shrill Rita Wilson, Paul Reiser) who love to co-titillate with tits-and-ass references. ...

San Francisco Chronicle
And once Katie and Ben's parents (Betty White & Red Buttons and Jayne Meadows & Tom Poston) materialize in bed with Pfeiffer and Willis, all bets are off that "North" is the worst movie Reiner's made. The film threatens to drown in deathly cute excesses - too many long faces, too many too-big smiles, too many over-fought fights, too many cheap reconciliations - and none of the resonant insight to justify any of it. ...
