Movie synopsis

An all-star cast inhabits this romantic comedy about a couple who must endure a humiliating obstacle course of a marriage-training program in order to gain permission to wed from their church's over-the-top reverend (Robin Williams). Hilarity follows as the lovebirds (Mandy Moore and THE OFFICE'S John Krasinksi) put their devotion to the test. From the moment they met in a Starbucks line, the couple was prone to cute mishaps and clumsiness, but they also displayed amazing chemistry. Then Reverend Frank and his creepy child assistant intervene, putting Sadie and Ben through a torturous process which involves couples counseling, bedroom surveillance, and a very funny sequence in which the couple must take care of two robotic fake babies while shopping for their registry at Macy's.While Krasinski's average-guy expressions are fun to watch, his persona on the big screen isn't too much of a stretch from his role in the television sitcom. And Moore's typical likability becomes irritatingly upbeat in several scenes. Packed with OFFICE cameos, LICENSE TO WED promises laughs up until the end, where it veers towards the trappings of an archetypal romantic comedy.

Great Cast, Mediocre Movie

Created: 04/06/09
Silly and semi cute. It's of course predictable and cliche and impossible to differentiate from other romantic comedies but Williams is funny and the chemistry between Mandy More and John Krasinski is enjoyable. There's some surprisingly emotional scenes, but it's not fantastic, no.

FUNNY BUT RENT ME FIRST!

Created: 30/10/07
Newly engaged Ben Murphy and his fiancée, Sadie Jones, plan to live happily ever after. The problem is that Sadie's family church, St. Augustine's, is run by Reverend Frank, 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?

THIS IS A RENTAL FOR SURE!

I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE STORY LINE AND PLOT!

ROBIN WILLIAMS STILL HAS IT, BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH FOR ME!

Very cute movie. Robin Williams is subdued compared to other rolls I've seen him in, but still funny. Mandy and John have good chemistry on screen. Gotta love that John Krasinski!!!

Licence to Wed???

Created: 16/12/08
Robin Williams plays a part of a Reverend who feels his job is to allow potential couples a chance to see what married life is like before the actual 'I do's'. Funny at times and very close to the point at others. Fun movie to watch but less of an actual "best of Robin Williams".

Purchased as a gift - movie was OK

Created: 03/04/08
The movie was cute but not one we would watch more than once. It is far-fetched as to what an engaged couple would go through to get married. The person I gave the movie to felt the same way - she thought it would be better based on reviews she read about the movie.

It is a good family movie with some funny moments, but not one of Robin Williams' best work. We expected more funny moments through the film as we watched it, but it seemed a bit drawn out.

It would be a good rental, and I buy more movies than most people I know. I wouldn't add this to my collection, but I am sure many people may feel differently considering all the stars in this film.
