Product Description

After 15 years of marriage, Ben (Bruce Willis) is still the free-spirited person he's always been while Katie (Michelle Pfeiffer) is left to handle life's messy little problems. So when the kids go off to summer camp, they face the most important decision of their married life. Do they end their story or begin a new chapter? From start to finish, Rob Reiner gives us reason to laugh and cry in his entertaining outlook on marriage.

5.0 out of 5 stars If Your Kids Have You Down OR If You Are Thinking Of Divorce/Breaking Up, You NEED To Watch This DVD: "The Story Of Us"!
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2008
Verified Purchase
While there is no accounting for difference of opinions about a film, sometimes there are core themes that viewers need to face. And "The Story of Us" holds up a wonderful, rich, powerfully performed, and subtle mirror of marriage and family that may not be what a viewer really wants to see reflected back to them. As a father of three sons who was essentially "forced" to accept divorce as the various therapists "solution," I strongly feel that this movie would have made at least a dent in their arguments. That is to say, "The Story of Us" dares to DEFY the politically, socially, culturally, and "modern" solution to marital "unhappiness" and stagnation: it "allows" the couple, Ben Jordan (played with great aplomb by Bruce Willis) and Katie Jordan (portrayed with enigmatic dexterity by Michelle Pfeiffer) to rediscover themselves and what is important to them.

Marriage and family--the most critical social institutions of all societies--have become near "cultural lags" in todays world of rapid change and emphasis upon "taking care of yourself first." For most people today, fifteen years of marriage is "enough;" and the Jordan's feel the pressures of giving up to find "personal happiness." "The Story of Us" takes a subtle, sardonic, insightful look at how this couple struggles. It shows the power of "time outs" for couples: time where each spouse can introspectively examine themselves without the "pressures" of children under foot; and, in this case, without the other spouse as well. Yet, critics pan the film because they are "looking" for romance and sparks:

"Willis and Pfeiffer, who should be flinty enough to strike sparks off each other, look glum and stony about the whole affair. All in all, a compelling argument for divorce."

Well, folks, divorce is a glum and stony act, BUT such actions are NOT a compelling argument for divorce--unless of course you BELIEVE in divorce as the be all solution to boredom or being frazzled (which is what Ben and Katie Jordan are experiencing). Moreover, I can state emphatically, that I have suggested this movie to a number of couples experiencing the same things, and this movie provided them with great comic relief and a chance to really talk about their problems. As a former professor of classes on The Family, one of my primary text books was "Family Talk: Interpersonal Communication in the Family" by Steven A. Beebe and John Masterson (ISBN: 9780075548966), something I still strongly believe to be the foundation for the survival of marriage and family as institutions.

Please note, that I am not suggesting that "The Story of Us" is a self-help movie. Rather, it is a very entertaining and subtle story that reflects real life. And, even if you have a healthy relationship and/or family, I think you will enjoy this movie if you give it a chance. That includes viewing "The Story of Us" not as a romantic or love story, but a story of marriage and family.

Please Note: If this review was not helpful to you, I would appreciate learning the reason(s) so I can improve my reviews. My goal is to provide help to potential buyers, not get into any arguments. So, if you only disagree with my opinion, could you please say so in the comments and not indicate that the review was not helpful. Thanks.

This movie is not only for entertaining but it has a good value for any marriage couples who were facing difficulties to watch. The movie bought out things that we seem to forget in marriage life. Must watch before heading to divorce lawyer.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED this movie and it aged very well
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2021

In this day and age, many of us are getting comfort where we can find it- me in watching films depicting values of years past. Divorces, broken families, non-traditional families, etc are so common now, they have become "normal". This movie is just a gem of a period piece with stellar performances by Willis and Pfieffer. Very touching.

I found myself watching this marveling at the naivete and simpleness of those times. A good one to watch with the young ones. They'll ask: Was life like that in the olden days? Why, yes, yes it was.

5.0 out of 5 stars WoW!
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2013

I watched this near the beginning of my marriage almost 15 years ago and both my husband and I promised to watch it again in the future. Back then we both thought this movie had a great message that every couple should keep in mind. No marriage is perfect, but that is the point. The value is that a marriage takes work. The movie emphasizes issues of how life distracts us, how we try to make things perfect, how we try to control things, how we don't follow through, how the silence replaces the void that once held arguments and yelling...how starting over would bring both in touch with who the person is that first made you fall in love. We forgot all about this until it popped up on a recommendation on amazon, go figure amazon. Do you know something based on the things I buy??? Anyways, we watched this again and identified much more this time around, a little too much more. But it was just what we needed to see. I think there is a "story of us" in each marriage that all can relate to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rich peoples' problems
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2021

Shiny and glossy. Yes, I'm talking about Michelle Pfeiffer's hair.

I bought the video years ago. I watched it then and didn't think much of it. Except: gee, lots of recognizable actors, stars in the lead roles, and perfect everything: house, camp, restaurants, even a perfect book store. The writing - meh. The production values - wowza.

I think the cover art of the video (and what is shown for the film whenever it is presented) is seductively sweet and well-designed. It suckers me in! There I am, watching this stuff again, and again, it does not offer much.

I like Bruce Willis - how can it go so wrong? It just kind of lays flat, like a pretty little biscuit lacking leavening. Gotta pass. You can pour out pages and pages of script about rich people problems and expect the audience to identify with someone on the screen, and it just never happens.

5.0 out of 5 stars keine komödie sondern ein porträt einer beziehung in der krise
Reviewed in Germany on June 10, 2010

ich hatte auf seichte unterhaltung gesetzt, als ich mir den film einlegte und war doch sehr überrascht, hier einen film zu sehen, der sehr tiefgründig und psychologisch sehr treffend ist.

ben (bruce willis) und katie jordan (michelle pfeiffer) sind seit 15 jahren verheiratet und haben es bislang nicht geschafft, ihre konflikte konstruktiv zu lösen. was einst gefiel ist nun zur last geworden und wird bei jedem streit zitiert, so dass aufgrund der gegenseitigen kränkungen katie schon in die phase des rückzugs gegangen ist und kaum noch erreichbar ist für ben. dies wird von michelle pfeiffer sehr gut dargestellt, sie wirkt eisig, in sich gefangen, nicht mehr erreichbar. ben seinerseits mit dem wohl sonnigeren gemüt versucht bis zuletzt, katies unerreichbarkeit zu durchbrechen, auch mit der "laß uns sex haben, dann ist alles wieder gut" - methode, die katie nur noch mehr abschreckt und so scheitert er logischerweise. gut untermalt werden die einzelnen gedanken und phasen der beiden durch gespräche mit freunden, die ihre unterschiedlichen gedanken dazu abgeben, sowie durch einen hintergrunddialog, der die gedanken der protagonisten preisgibt. die entfremdung geht soweit, dass katie den befürchteten schlussstrich zieht, der dann aber - da er nun distanz für beide ermöglicht - neues mit sich bringt.

ich fand den film sehr berührend, echt und lebensnah, kein bischen kitschig und weit weg von einer komödie.
