"What do you see?"
25 October 1999
You know, Bruce Willis has made a lot of money playing an action guy and as much fun as the action movies are, he's also an excellent actor when called upon to do something more substantial. He should do more "serious" acting. The Story Of Us is dark but hopeful. Beware, this is not a comedy but a frequently heart wrenching look at a relationship. Although it has several comedic moments, don't see it if you're looking only to laugh; what you see in the teasers is not exactly what you get. Pfeiffer (also excellent, as usual) and Willis are a very good team and work well together; the supporting cast lends most of the lighter tone to the film with some interesting social commentary. Rob Reiner is not to be missed with a scene strangely similar to his Sleepless in Seattle appearance.
