Watching The Story of Us is like being forced to sit through all of your most vicious fights with loved ones placed back to back for two hours. The Story of Us is mind numbing and about as enjoyable as a root canal while your appendix bursts. The Story of Us works in flashbacks of happier times to try to show the audience how good the relationship could be and why it should be held together, however the flashbacks only emphasize why these people should be apart. Blow by blow, the movie draws to a predictable Hollywood conclusion with a flurry of flashbacks so ridiculously done and one particular flashback frighteningly and pornographically out of place, that it is all way too little and way too late for any sort of redemption. My only advice is that if you take a date to this movie, make sure your relationship is on extremely solid ground because you will be arguing when this film is finished.
