Bruce Willis takes a break from action flicks to star with Michelle Pheiffer in The Story Of Us about two married people whose marriage seems to be going off course. After 15 years they're marriage is in crisis mode.
By all rights they have the storybook American Dream, wife, two kids, and living the good life in suburbia. But they seem to be stuck in a rut and both are trying to capture the magic gone.
What they learn in the end is that the magic of those honeymoon early years is gone and they actually do like each other. What they have to do is stop letting little things annoy both of them all out of proportion.
Rob Reiner directed The Story Of Us and cast himself in a nice part as Willis's friend who seems to be giving bad advice every time he opens his mouth. But the best supporting roles are from Bill Kirchenbauer and Lucy Webb who are a pair of yokel Americans that Willis and Pheiffer meet on a trip to Italy. These two may be dumb, but they're happy and sometimes that's what you should strive for.
For fans of the leads especially for Bruce Willis fans who get a nice change of pace.
