What happens

The Story of Us is a 1999 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Rob Reiner, and starring Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer as a couple married for 15 years. The depiction of the marriage through a series of nonlinear flashbacks is reminiscent of Two for the Road (1967) starring Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn, while the "interview" segments featuring characters addressing the camera directly as a therapist are reminiscent of Reiner's previous film When Harry Met Sally... (1989) starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. The Story of Us premiered on October 13, 1999 and was released by Universal Pictures on October 15, 1999 in the United States, with Warner Bros. releasing in other territories. The film received negative reviews from critics and grossed $58.9 million against a $50 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
