Robin Williams is certainly a very gifted comedian. It would be a sin to classify him as untalented. But somebody needs to send this guy some decent scripts. I think the problem is people feel that all you need to do is cast Robin as the lead, and viola! You've got yourself a hilarious comic romp! Weak writing is weak writing. End of story. The film is not without laughs. I certainly did laugh several times, but as you would expect, most of the good jokes are given away in the trailer. Altogether, "License to Wed" is a predictable romantic comedy filled with lots of sitcom-level humor. It's worth checking out on cable. Like I said, there are some laughs, and watching the gorgeous Mandy Moore certainly doesn't hurt either. But this is one of those comedies you'll probably forget soon after you've seen it.

License to Wed is exactly what I expected it to be when watching the previews. An overall average movie, nothing mind blowing, but also not impossible to watch.

The movie is a little cliché at points and most of it you have seen before in whatever romantic comedy you decide to think of, but there are a few additions to this movie that made it enjoyable for me.

As a huge fan of the TV show "The Office", I went to the theater the other night hoping that the movie would keep me as entertained as the small screen gem does. If this is what you are hoping for, sorry, its a bit of a let down. However, the simple appearance of a couple of "Office" stars is enjoyable.

The only real beef that I have with the movie overall is Robin Williams' sexed up priest character. I can understand what they were trying to do (humor from sex dialogue), but the conversations seemed uncomfortable to me. A priest becoming sexual isn't that far fetched in this day and age, but really, when your movie makes it look like a priest is hitting on a woman in his marriage counseling class in front of her soon to be husband, just rubs me the wrong way.

License to Wed is neither terrible nor wonderful. My recommendation would be to watch it if you really don't care what you watch and just need a popcorn movie to relax. No huge laughs but no huge let downs either.

This movie was a bit of a bore. I walked in rather neutral with my expectations, and after the first 10 minutes realized that this ball of cheese was not for me. I sat through it all, for the sake of the company I was with.

Mandy Moore and John Krasinski are cute, but very flat characters. There is little or no character development in this film. Robin Williams as Reverend Frank tries to save the show with his humorous antics, but was unfortunately cliché in his attempts. The little boy, Josh Flitter, does an excellent job as the annoyingly forthright "minister in training", as do the other children playing minor roles, but the overall attempt was bland.

The movie neither humorously avoids morals, nor does it end with moral enlightenment. The "lesson" in the end is weak and predictable.

If you're looking for something heartwarming, inspiring, or thought-provoking, turn elsewhere. If you'd like a few cheap laughs with a weak storyline, this could be your film.

I rate it a 2 out of 10.

My friend and I were so excited to see this movie when we saw the trailer to License to Wed, it looked like a fun comedy. But when we heard all the bad reviews, we were a bit hesitant, but we figured that we still wanted to see it and why not? I don't get all the horrible reviews on IMDb, yeah, there were a few things wrong with the movie, but it seemed like nobody really wanted to enjoy this film. I'm not saying this to offend anyone, I just don't get how you could not laugh at least once in this film when it was just a cute romantic comedy that's better than most.

Sadie and Ben are one happy couple, after only six months they feel that they are ready to tie the knot and get married. But Sadie's wishes are to be married in the church her parents got married in and their family minister, Frank. Frank isn't going to give this couple an easy time though, he'll test them from Heaven to Hell to see if they are really ready for marriage and slowly the realize what might be wrong and different in their relationship.

Now, I admit that some of the situations were predictable and unbelievable, but I think if you let go and just have fun, you'll find yourself laughing. This movie was all in good fun; I loved the scene where they have to find out what having kids was like. Those little mechanical babies were so ugly and scary, but so funny! I expected a fun and cute movie and that's what I got with License to Wed, so don't trust the IMDb reviews, just go and have fun!

6/10

"License to Wed" might as well have been called "Meet the Minister," since all the film does is to recycle the nightmare-before-marriage scenario from "Meet the Parents" - albeit with one crucial deviation. Needless to say, lightning rarely strikes twice when it comes to Hollywood happenings and "License to Wed" is no "Meet the Parents." Not by a long shot.

Ben Murphy and Sadie Jones are a young Chicago couple who agree to undergo an intense pre-marital "training course" conducted by an obnoxious local reverend in exchange for being allowed to hold their nuptials at the church Sadie's dearly departed grandfather helped to build. To pass the course, the couple must agree to be abstinent until the wedding night, take care of two fully operational and anatomically correct mechanical infants, and undergo various forms of trauma that even Sigmund Freud himself would have trouble undoing after years of reparative analysis.

As a "Meet the Parents" wannabe, "License to Wed" stumbles right out of the starting gate in that one can imagine suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous humiliation and abuse in order to win the favor of a prospective spouse's PARENTS, but to go through all that just to placate her MINISTER? I don't think so. In no time flat, the laughter turns to frustration as we find ourselves wondering why Ben doesn't just tell the dear old Reverend to go take a hike - or worse - and then seek out some religious establishment with less stringent requirements for walking down the aisle.

And let's face it, there's something more than a trifle off-putting and creepy about an unwed man-of-the-cloth running around with a young boy as his personal protégé and sidekick, planting listening devices in young couple's bedrooms. Even for an alleged comic fantasy such as this one, that may be just a bridge farther than most people will be willing to go in the queasiness department.

John Krasinski and Mandy Moore make an appealing enough couple, and it isn't really their fault that they've been handed a screenplay - written by no fewer than three writers, a sure sign of trouble - filled with cornball humor, heavy-handed slapstick and unappetizing secondary characters. In the role of Reverend Frank, Robin Williams, all cutesy mannerisms and third-rate mugging, hits a new low in teeth-grinding unctuousness, although one likes to believe that, if director Ken Kwapis could have gotten the actor to dial back his performance even a little, this might have been at least a tolerable movie. As it is, though, "License to Wed" is a painful experience that you will have no trouble leaving stranded at the altar.

This movie was terrible.

I was more than a little tempted to just get up and walk out early in the movie, when it just wasn't funny. I thought maybe it would pick up and really get going soon, it didn't. It tries to be a romantic comedy, and what little chemistry exists between the couple is ruined by Robin Williams trying to be funny while doing unfunny things. Instead he comes off as a creepy, sadistic voyeur with a phony veneer of humor (and a minister having a prepubescent boy sidekick with him at apparently all times day and night is more than a little creepy in it's own right).

There isn't a single funny joke in the film that's not in the trailer, not one. There are a lot of gags that fall flat though.

The whole thing made me miss the time when Robin Williams in a movie was a sign it was going to be a great film.

In retrospect, I should have gone with my hunch and just walked out early, and saved myself the time.

I'm going to say something that no one in License to Wed has the guts (or the brains) to say - Reverend Frank belongs behind bars. Frank is supposed to be a goofy and likable guy who grows on us despite his unorthodox methods toward couples coaching. Unfortunately, the movie goes to such extremes that we are not so much charmed by Frank, rather we are terrified by him. The man is a menace, and the fact that nobody seems to realize it except for one character makes everyone in this movie come across as completely oblivious.

Young lovers Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore) have just made plans to take their relationship to the next level and get married. It's always been Sadie's dream to be married at the family church with Reverend Frank (Robin Williams) doing the ceremony. Before they can get married, however, Frank forces the young lovers into a bizarre program where they will have to pass a series of tests to see if they are right for each other. Frank, along with his young student (Josh Flitter), sets up a series of challenges and simulations that are supposed to represent the difficulties that the couple will face in the future together. While it sounds reasonable enough in theory, the Reverend goes so far as to invading their private lives, even bugging Ben and Sadie's apartment with concealed recording equipment, letting him hear everything that happens when he's not around. Ben's patience with Frank's extreme program starts to wear thin, and the young couple start to contemplate if things are as compatible between them as they initially thought.

There's nothing really wrong with License to Wed whenever Reverend Frank is not on the screen. During those times, it's a perfectly ordinary romantic comedy that plays by the rules. Unfortunately, Frank is a major character, and the movie devotes too much time to him. He's an evil, manipulative man, and we're supposed to laugh at him, because he's played by Robin Williams, and he's constantly shooting off zippy one-liners. If this character had been played straight, I have no doubt believing his Reverend Frank would be right up there with his "deranged" performances in Insomnia and One Hour Photo. At one point, he has a 10-year-old kid break into the couple's apartment while they're away at a session, and conceal a wire tap in their home. The character of Frank comes across as someone who enjoys tormenting young couples who just want to get married, and is not below employing children to do his dirty work so that he remains off the hook. If this sounds like a jovial, comical character to you, I highly suggest counseling.

My question is why does nobody else in this movie but Ben realize just how evil this guy is? And when Ben discovers the wire tap, why doesn't he make a bigger deal about it? More importantly, why doesn't Sadie? When Ben finally does tell her about the hidden recording equipment, Sadie doesn't even react to this revelation, nor does she even act offended. Are we to believe this woman doesn't even care that this man has been violating their privacy? If I seem to be putting too much stock in one character, I can't help it. He is what makes this entire movie go wrong. The character hangs over the movie like a black shadow, and causes everyone to become incredibly stupid, because no one can admit to themselves that this man is wrong. Even Ben, who distrusts him from the moment he lays eyes on Frank, winds up liking the guy before the movie's over.

It's hard to get behind a cast when they're forced to play clueless morons for the sake of the plot. Mandy Moore, once again finds herself playing a woman who refuses to even look at the obvious until the screenplay feels its convenient for her to do so. After Because I Said So and now this, I'm starting to wonder if she has some kind of bizarre fascination with women who make bad decisions for no reason other than to move the plot along. John Krasinski is passable, but not much more than that. He seems to kind of be playing a Ben Stiller-type character, only without Stiller's enthusiasm. The rest of the cast spend most of the time in the background, not contributing much of anything. That's because Reverend Frank keeps on hijacking the movie at every conceivable opportunity. It gets to the point we start wondering if we're watching a movie, or if we're watching one of Williams' lesser improv performances.

License to Wed is a movie that goes so extremely off course, and it's all because of one man. If he had just been written a different way, the film could have been salvaged. As it is, he drags the entire movie down with him. It's amazing how the wrong lead character can affect everyone and everything around them. When the movie came to its predetermined happy ending, I didn't feel joy. I felt sorry for this couple that this guy was still a part of their lives, and imagined what hell awaited them in the future. I'm sure we'll hear all about it if we're unfortunate enough to get a sequel.

Is it too much to expect even mild entertainment from a Robin Williams film. What happened to the comic genius behind 'Good Morning Vietnam'? The man who turned in a reliable dramatic performance in 'Good Will Hunting' is simply lackluster here. Mandy Moore and John Krasinski are a likable couple subjected to some humiliating 'jokes' by priest Williams. The film doesn't even give us enough time to get to know the young couple. This could have been a cute romantic comedy, but the barrage of juvenile material and creepy jokes make it unsuitable for just about all audiences. Avoid.

Overall 2/10

License to Wed is a pretty good romantic comedy. I loved Mandy Moore and John Krasinski as the leads. And of course the late Robin Williams was great in his role as reverend Frank. I do love the comedy in this film, Robin Williams really does make this movie! I like how the script was written, it was comedic, romantic, and very sweet, it had moments of true heart, that was very refreshing to see. The characters in this movie do have good chemistry. No it's not the most original in the history of movies, but yes it is funny and kinda amusing. I'm not sure what the deal was with people from the office being in this movie, but like so many actors on the office appeared in here. But overall, this film was entertaining and warm hearted, no it was not perfect, yes, some scenes did drag a little, but all in all, it was a good time. 7/10.

This movie was just plain bad. But since I'm bothering to write this, I should go into more detail than that, right? This movie was tacky and offensive, all the more tragic because of the hilarity potential of Robin Williams and the likability potential of Mandy Moore and Jon Krasinski. Synopsis: Two cuties get together. (Aw, sweet.) Then comes the messed up marital counselling of Moore's bizarro pastor, played by Robin Williams. Williams, in all his ridiculous antics, is aided and abetted by a creepy little kid (sorry, no offense meant to the child actor playing the kid -- I'm sure the creepiness was all in the role) who tries to be cutely precocious, but basically comes off as an annoying, know-it-all, creepy, snot-nosed little brat. I only watched half an hour into the movie because it was so cringe-inducing, distasteful, unfunny and insulting to relationships. I walked out and caught the last half of The Brave One. Unless you are amused by bathroom humour, skip it. You will thank me.

I really really wanted to like this movie, in theory, it has all the right elements for a strong comedy, but I was very disappointed.

I went to see this movie today at a 12:30 p.m. showing. The audience was a good mix of older couples, young marrieds, teenage girls, a few stray singles, a family or two--a well-rounded audience, let's say. That well-rounded audience spent an hour and a half with Robin Williams, god of comedy, with not a single good laugh. There were a handful of mild chuckles over things like poop jokes and a man getting smacked in the face with a baseball, but that was all we could muster.

Mandy Moore was luminous (but not given much to do, I wish she'd pick better roles, I really want to like her), her fiancé utterly and instantly forgettable in every way, the rest of the very talented cast (The best man was delightful, his relationship with his wife hilarious, and he was given all of 4 minutes of screen time) hopelessly misused, and Robin Williams as unfunny as the man can possibly get. The "plot", so to speak, consisted of Robin Williams as a minister conspiring to make the future marriage of Mandy Moore and the other one strong by torturing them at every turn and doing such charming things as bugging their apartment to ensure they were not having forbidden premarital sex. It was creepy and disturbing and predictable and boring, and, the worst sin of all for a supposed comedy, not funny.

LICENSE TO WED (2007) * Robin Williams, Many Moore, John Krasinski, Eric Christian Olsen, Christine Taylor, Josh Flitter, DeRay Davis, Peter Strauss, Roxanne Hart, Grace Zabriskie, Mindy Kaling, Angela Kinsey, Rachael Harris, Brian Baumgartner, Bob Balaban. Vapid, sit- com-y high concept comedy about a young couple's nuptials being put to the test by the bride-to-be's family minister (a surprisingly sedate Williams) who proves to be a holy terror in the process. Woefully unfunny screenplay by Ken Barker, Tim Rasmussen, Vince Di Meglio and Wayne Lloyd and underwhelming direction by Ken Kwapis (who has collaborated with Krasinski and his THE OFFICE cronies – many submitted to this mess to boot – previously, with such higher hilarious results).

I thought it was an OK comedy. It made me chuckle at times. Sadie and Ben plan to get married, but first must pass Rev Frank's marriage course. The Rev spies on them and sets up silly tests, like carrying around plastic babies that really cry and poop. I thought that was pretty good. All these tests cause the couple to rethink the marriage an let them see are they really right for each other.

I thought Robin Williams was OK. This was his stereotypical character. His apprentice sidekick kid was just creepy. Everyone else in the film was just average.

FINAL VERDICT: If you like these sort of comedies, then check it out.

OK so I saw this movie yesterday and to be honest I went in here not expecting much..but wow was I blown away? The movie starts off with a bang and just leaves you to there..it made me laugh the entire way through..OK so the innuendos about stealing second base were kind of stupid...but besides that I loved it. Mandy Moore did great and looked it..the groom to be did awesome as well...and Robin Williams as always made me laugh very hard. My audience all loved the movie when the obviously funny parts came along and even some of the jokes you had to be on your feet to catch "Be chill don't kill, yes even you O.J." so overall the love story was fantastic and the comedy aspect of it was hilarious as well. I just loved this movie so much.

Robin Williams has a few stinkers in his otherwise distinguished career: TOYS and DEATH TO SMOOCHY are chief among them. But, this piece of crap is un-funnier than 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and LADYKILLERS put together. Both of which I walked out in the middle of...just as I did with this one.

I mean, something must be terribly wrong if I can sit through forty-minutes of Robin Williams' one-liners and literally not laugh, even once! Those butt-ugly Cabbage Patch robots, I can understand. Social studies teachers use the same technique, in real life, among high school students. Although, the dolls they hand out probably don't resemble bald versions of "Chuckie" from CHILD'S PLAY.

Yet, illegally bugging the engaged couple's apartment, with the help of an adolescent Gomez Addams, after innovatively teaching some other kids about the Ten Commandments? Correct me if I wrong. But, I think the official term for that is "contributing to the delinquency of a minor." And, cops can arrest one for that!

So, even if this review gets voted as "zero-out-of-a-hundred found it useful," I'm still urging my fellow movie-goers to boycott this movie, and spend their money on a full-fledged vacation. Preferably, in Amish Country, Pennysylvania, where's there guaranteed to be no movie theaters showing this!!!

I saw this movie the day it came out and walked out of the theater loving this movie! The characters were fun and relate-able and the plot was refreshing from all the super hero movies and all the sappy dramas that have come out this summer. John Krasinski did a great job being a character different from Jim Halpert(The Office). Mandy Moore's character stress with the wedding plans, building her flower business, and trying to succeed in seemingly pointless tasks. Robin Williams broke his curse of failing comedies with this movie, I genuinely laughed whenever his character made a joke (And trust me it takes a lot to make me laugh so hard that i might cry). All in all this was a great, funny, and light hearted movie that is too predictable or too sappy. I say go see it with a group of friend, family, or a loved one, sit back, relax, and enjoy! I give License to Wed a 9 out of 10.

A very common mistake between the producers from Hollywood is to think that a comedian who has been funny in the past,will always be funny in any circumstance.Robin Williams and his long list of crappy ''comedies'' are one of the most clear examples of that attitude.Williams is a good comedian and a magnificent actor but,when there is not a good screenplay,the movie will not be good.Williams needs a solid screenplay which has to work as a base of his personality.Good Morning Vietnam is the best example of what I just mentioned:on that movie,there was a brilliant screenplay and a good director who knew to mold the story to adapt to Williams' frenetic style.But,that was twenty years ago and,during the two following decades,we have seen this actor on a lot of comedies which seem to say:''It does not care if the script is bad...We have Robin Williams!''.License to Wed is one of that films and the worst movie in Williams' career(and I'm counting craps like Mrs.Doubtfire).License to Wed is so pathetic which cannot be called a movie...I would call it as a thing from the dust-bin.If you wanna see the jokes from this movie,go to Youtube(you will not laugh because all the jokes are crappy and worn-out)or,if you have insomnia problems,go to see this movie.The jokes from this movie do not have any grace and they have been seen on a lot of films.John Krasinki and Mandy Moore bring bad performances,while Williams' performance is really irritating.But,I do not wanna attack Williams.He did some wonderful performances on serious films(like in One Hour Photo or Good Will Hunting).The principal guilty is ''director'' Ken Kwapis(if what he did can be called directing a film)who did not know how to take advantage from Williams' enormous talent.License to Wed is,for the moment,the worst film of 2007 and one of the worst films from last years.This excrement called License to Wed should be destroyed.

This movie was just awesome...all these ridiculous tests Reverend Frank (Robin Williams) made the young and inexperienced couple, Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore), do, it was just amazing watching them go thru' the wildest experience of 'things that will cause total chaos and havoc, that will eliminate all the cute moments between two young lovebirds'.

I like the part where he was teaching all these kids the 10 commandments, and the last question, Reverend Frank had to give out hints to that boy, I think he was "Church Kid" Manny (Travis T. Flory), who could not even get the point of the hints. I was like "d'oh..." and "omg, how can anyone make it more obvious?".

The robot babies are so funny! The part where he has a sudden onset of super watery nose and super drool or whatever. Another part was where the mother watched Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) drop one baby, hangs the other one, and then the baby leaks out blue toothpaste.... The next part is even more insane where he freaks out and starts smashing the baby's head in front of everyone.

And also the part where Reverend Frank (Robin Williams) takes the headphones off Choir Boy for adult sexual sounds. Sadie reacted so *hint* when Ben makes his move with his hand. The baseball throwing scene was also very awesome, seriously the lines were so funny.

I will feel the same way as how Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore) would look like in the face in the final church gathering, all the anger scrunched up inside like a teapot ready to pout like an eruption after the water is boiled.

I laughed so hard when Ben wrote nothing but drew an animated truck driving toward and through the fire hoop like in a circus and the fire hoop dies down. Also, the entire driving scene was ultimately the worst case scenario. It tells everyone, never to suddenly call out something, it will either distract the driver or the driver will totally neglect it and an accident will occur. Obviously, Sadie was blindfolded and he goes "LOOK OUT!". Also, I thought she should have her blindfold soaked in sweat and tears of shock.

There is this one part that totally reminded me of the famous Home Alone television quoting scene where he uses the lines of a movie to scare off anyone who is at the front door. The part is where Reverend Frank was singing in the shower and he suddenly sang "STOP." as if he knew that someone had broken into his house.

However, I was so touched when Ben actually inscribed his vows on the beach to Sadie.

Talking about inscriptions, at the purchase of the wedding ring, he wrote down "Never to Part" for 'engraving the wedding band' but it came out an "F" instead of a "P", one reason for that was sort of shown to us because of his erasing marks, he could erase completely and properly, so I think he did not realize that others will have just smartly figured out that the smudged area has been linked to make the letter a "P".

On the other hand, I thought Reverend Frank was a total psychologist and not a reverend. It was at the gathering table where he asked Ben to describe in one word for each future in-law. Ben fell for it totally, he starts to spurt out the truth in his heart. I felt that that was kind of mean. But hey, I thought that it gave me a hint about the Reverend's possible secrets.

I also like the crude stuff from Joel (DeRay Davis), "fishing for girls", and definitely talking Ben into "...watching the Reverend take a shower".

I recommend this movie for ages above 13 because there are segments of adult implications. Encore for the robot babies and encore tricks by Reverend Frank played by Robin Williams!

Sadie (Moore) and Ben (Krasinski) want to get married, but Reverend Frank (Williams) wants to put them thru some tests to see if they are really suited for each other.

I don't know if I have ever subscribed to a Worst Movie list, but this one will be in the top-10 for sure. Bad script, bad acting, bad direction and no one noticed? Well, I did. Gone are the days I would run to a Robin Williams movie. Gone. Gone. Gone. Either he was scripted or is just losing it, and I don't feel he is an actor who can be scripted. What does that leave? Huh?

Nothing funny happened, no good or clever lines, just a constant stream of nothingness. I could go on and on how horrible this was, but that would be pointless and boring.

Violence: No, Sex:No,Nudity:No, Language: No

I LOVED this film!! I was laughing so hard at parts I couldn't catch my breath!! Go see it if you have kids you will laugh so hard! This would be a good date movie, or a good night out with the girls! There were appearances from several OFFICE actors which makes it funnier! I really enjoyed the movie, as for everyone having problems with the priest, its a FICTIONAL movie! If you want to laugh go see this, if you want to see something that is REAL go see a documentary! Hey there is even one out right now!! I always laugh at people who go in NOT liking the idea and come out surprised that they don't like it. If you want to laugh, and hard, this is the one for you! Enjoy

I loved this movie...granted there were a few slow parts I cracked up for most of it. If you like the show The Office then you will enjoy this as Kevin (Brian Baumgardner), Kelly (Mindy Kaling) and Angela (Angela Kinsey) also star in this film with Jim (John Krasinski). Be a bit open minded and go see it....it will surprise you!.....I went in thinking it was going to be an alright movie and figured the funny parts were most likely all in the commercials like most movies but I was so wrong I thought it was a great comedy that wasn't raunchy, unlike many other comedies there are out today (and don't get me wrong I love all kinds of comedy)

When Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore) are corrailed into marriage prep course by Reverend Frank (Robin Williams), all hell breaks loose.

Reverend Frank is a whacky, evangelical, over-baring, over-the-top, yet lovable, control freak. He immediately sets out to ensure the couple will: "1" by married by The Book, and "2" succeed in their marriage. He will stop at nothing to break up any pre-marital sex, to cause fights, and bring their relationship to its knees all for the ultimate goal of what he sees as a perfect marriage...

It's a comic blast with relatives, romance, and reverends. Tension comes from all directions: family, and the fiancees.

If I were to compare it to another film I would say it's the marital version of Anger Management. If I had to compare it to current works of Mandy Moore, I would choose A Walk to Remember, though this is very up-beat, without the threat of imminent death, and so much more funny.

I would recommend this to anyone who's gone through puberty and hasn't yet died. In other words, it'd be good for you, your girlfriend, or your parents. It has a religious context, but is not religious. It is very family-friendly yet it should not be over-looked by audience.

Saw this film yesterday and haven't laughed so hard at a film billed as a comedy in years. Forget the professional reviewers who are panning this film. My gut reaction is that because the Robin Williams character, Reverend Frank actually makes a lot of sense (in an over the top sort of way), many in our self involved, anything goes society will hate this film.

Believe me, this is one funny film. John Krazinski is adorable. The situations are improbable but hilarious, but the best thing about "License to Wed" was that it's a welcome oasis from the more popular, so called "sophisticated" gross out filth like "Knocked Up" or "40 Year Old Virgin."

John Krasinski alone, cannot save this movie from being one of the worst of the year. It also reassures me that Mandy Moore can't act and Robin Williams can't seem to stop being an annoying asshole in every role he plays.

In Linsence To Wed, Ben and Sadie (Krasinski and Moore) plan to get married at her childhood church. Before they can get married there, they have to complete a series of tests. This movie is just another predictable, stupid, and a hardly funny comedy.

Also, the only humour in this movie is either slapstick or plain stupid jokes. Basically, this movie is a bust, don't see it, you'll be very disappointed, its just another horrible excuse for a romantic comedy. I did not enjoy this movie at all.

Sadie (Mandy Moore) and Ben (John Kraskinski) meet in a coffee shop line. They are soon smitten with each other, eventually moving in together. When Ben proposes at Sadie's parents' anniversary party, everyone is happy. Yet, although Ben would like to get married in the Caribbean, Sadie has her heart set on being married at a church called St. Augustine's. Ben soon realizes that things are not going to be easy. That's because all engaged couples at the church must go through a rigorous premarital counseling program designed by Pastor Frank (Robin Williams). There will be no sex until the wedding, Pastor Frank decrees. There are sessions with other couples, where they play free word association games and are set up to pick fights with one another. Pastor Frank has a few secret strategies up his sleeve, too. At the end of the day, will Sadie and Ben be able to stick together? This is a movie that can be described by the phrase " a good time will be had by all". There is romance, humor, slapstick, and touching moments. The cast is very nice, with Williams doing a great job as the overly zealous pastor. The Chicago area setting is nice, the costumes adequate (I felt some of Moore's outfits were a bit lacking), and the production values quite fine. If you are drawn to romantic comedy, you will not want to skip a showing of this film. It is a good new addition to the repertoire. Fans of Williams will not want to miss this one, either, as he gives everyone a license to laugh and feel good about life.
