The Story Of Us (1999)

Low Level Coarse Language

Ben and Katie Jordan juggled family, careers and tuna casserole until something finally tumbled from their grasp. Now, 15 years after saying "I do," each is thinking "I'm done." Can marriage survive 15 years of marriage? The answer to that question comes in The Story of Us, a knowing and witty tale that explores the rarely filmed terrain lying between separation and possible divorce. Rob Reiner directs, peppering the narrative with flashbacks and comic relief (provided by Rita Wilson, Tim Matheson, Reiner himself and others). And Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer starring as Ben and Katie, crafting a touching and bracingly real portrait of a couple who, faced with a trying marriage, come to realise that they want to - they must - keep trying.
