Comedy reigns throughout License To Wed thanks to Robin Williams, his choir-boy assistant Josh Flitter (Nancy Drew) and the rest of the cast. Laughing out loud is definitely a course requirement for viewers, but underneath the hilarity is a serious message about making marriage work. --Tami Horiuchi
Product Description
License To Wed sees newly engaged, Ben Murphy (John Krasinski, The Office USA) and Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore, Because I Said So) trying to start their life together and live happily ever after. The problem is, 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. Do they have what it takes to make it to the altar?

Format:DVD
I have been a Robin Williams fan for many years and was really looking forward to seeing him play this character. However, the characters and scenarios here were unbelievable - As we watch the young groom being constantly bullied by his future wife, her family and her strange minister into uncomfortable scenes where William's character seems more sinister than funny.
One or two funny scenarios, but for us the overall film felt uncomfortable and lacked any believability.

I really like John Krasinski so I had hoped to love this. Unfortunately this film never quite hits the mark. Mandy Moore is quite irritating and I just can't imagine anyone ever getting themselves caught up in the story line. It's a shame because the potential is there but License to Wed just misses. On the plus side, John K. is gorgeous as ever and it's a bit of a treat for fans of The Office (An American Workplace) as there are cameos from a few of the cast. Pretty average stuff.

Not really a Robin Williams fan so I was not expecting to much, but how wrong was I, the 5 star rating is well deserved and its a long time since I had tears rolling down my face, great from start to finish, and yes I would watch it again, well worth the money if you buy or rent.

Someone else's film
All you need to know about this sickly farce is Robin Williams' sappy face on the cover of the DVD case. Wasn't Williams meant to be a bit cutting edge once upon a time? Read more

Good movie for a night-in
License to Wed is a good no-brainer movie with a talented cast and mediocre plot.
Likeable characters and perfect for mindless movie night-in.

Humour
I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
It really appealed to my sense of humour whilst also carrying an underlying very valuable message - what makes a good relationship? Read more

was a good film. I liked it. i liked Robin Williams and i like him in this. It even made me have a little cry at the moment towards the end where they are in Jamaica. Watch it now!

Not great
Storyline sounds like it's going to be a good one but somehow the film just doesn't live up to that. Read more
