Release
Date: October 30, 2007 Starring: Robin
Williams, John Krasinski,
Mandy Moore
Preview: Newly
engaged, Ben Murphy (John
Krasinski) and Sadie Jones
(Mandy Moore) can't wait to
start their life together
and live happily ever after.
The problem is that Sadie's
family church, St.
Augustine's, is run by
Reverend Frank (Robin
Williams), who won't bless
Ben and Sadie's union until
they pass his patented,
"foolproof" marriage-prep
course. Consisting of
outrageous classes,
outlandish homework
assignments and some
outright invasion of
privacy, Reverend Frank's
rigorous curriculum puts Ben
and Sadie's relationship to
the test. Forget happily
ever after--do they even
have what it takes to make
it to the altar?
Review: I'm a huge
movie buff and love all
sorts of movies, but when I
went to go see License to
Wed with my friends, I
wasn't a very willing
participant. I'd heard
terrible reviews about the
movie and I was convinced I
wouldn't like it as well,
but guess my five star
rating shows you can never
let other people's opinions
dictate your own...more
Extras:
"Ask Choir Boy" interactive
relationship advice from the
film's junior pastor-in-
training, additional scenes.

EN 5 Second Review:
Robin Williams can be funny, but also grating. We will
wait for cable.
Comedies
don't get much lamer than License to Wed. Kirk Honeycut: Hollywood Reporter
Working from a flawed premise with characters lacking
credibility and plot turns more moronic than funny, the movie flatlines
in about five minutes...more
Unleashing
Robin Williams in the least flattering possible manner Brian Lowery: Variety License to Wed squanders the modest chemistry between
its appealing central couple uniting its elements in an
astonishingly flat romantic comedy...more
