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? Also available in HD format.

Great Movie!

I realize a lot of people hated this movie, but come on! Movie's are meant to be enjoyed and if you want realism, try a reality show. "License to Wed" was a great movie. I have not laughed so hard in a long time. I especially enjoyed the robot babies in the department store changing room scene. I watched it over and over again, because of it's slaptstick qualities. Granted the robot babies did look a little creepy, but it just added to the laughs.
Robin Williams is a great actor and his one liners are hard to beat. Maybe his role was a little far-fetched, especially all the spy parts. But he did it with a certain elegance that made me laugh and want to see the movie again and again.
There is probably no movie ever made that has 100% realism. If there was, it would be boring and there would always be few people that would think it is unrealistic.
So instead of looking at "License to Wed" as a monumentally unrealistic movie, see it as a rollercoaster ride of laughs and what it is like to learn to get along.
I am looking forward to purchasing this movie after renting it from NetFlix, because in this world with all of it's negativity, it is great to laugh and find something to pick me up when I need it most.

License to Wed isn't one of Robin William's finest moments, but he was easily the highlight of the film. While he had some funny lines, the main storyline of the movie is about two young people in love who have to go through some rather silly steps in order for Robin to agree the couple are ready to marry.

If you were to take out Robin Williams from the movie, you'd be left with one unmemorable storyline. The actor and actress who played the man and woman in love were good enough in their role, but weren't really funny or interesting when the story focused on them. It always had to be Robin Williams on screen to keep things above average.

In fact, the final 20 minutes of film were really average and looked like any other romantic comedy out there. About as predictable as you'd expect a storyline to be. A very average conclusion.

The one thing about the movie I DID like was when the young couple were foolish enough to believe they'd never get in a fight with each other *ever*, and Robin had to show them that EVERY couple gets involved in an argument from time to time. I liked that part.

Robin Williams - Good, Movie - Just OK

Reverend Frank (played by Robin Williams) holds this movie together with a portrayal of a psycho reverend that puts couple, Sadie and Ben (played by Mandy Moore and John Krasinski) through a couples workshop before the big day (aka wedding). He puts them through some grueling and insane things such as bugging their apartment, staging fights, no sex till the wedding, taking care of a set of fake babies, etc.

The movie has its laughs and the acting isn't half bad (although to be honest without Robin Williams you wouldn't have much of a movie). I give it a three because although it was cute and I got through it, I was bored. Some parts of the movie follow along the similar lines of all the other wedding movies. There are some funny parts where I found myself chuckling (when Reverend Frank really goes overboard) but then again, the ending is pretty predictable.

My suggestion would be to make it a rental, or an on clearance purchase. Unless of course if you don't like Robin Williams, then I wouldn't see it at all, because the rest of the movie won't keep you interested long enough to get through it.
