ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Davis P 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.

MBunge License to Wed is a romantic comedy for people who have seen every other romantic comedy ever made but still have an irresistible urge to see one more shoddy, limp and lethargic version of the exact same thing they've watched countless times before. This film is so torpid that its story isn't made up of clichés, it's made up of allusions to clichés that it doesn't even bother to follow through on. These filmmakers just do barely enough work to establish which worn out rom-com trope a scene or character is supposed to represent, then the audience is supposed to fill in all the predictable crap that the movie glosses over. Without all that predictable crap, though, viewers are left with hazy, paper thin characters sloshing their way through an abortive plot to a conclusion that's like feeling the Almighty Plot Hammer pound a rusty nail into your skull.Ben and Sadie (John Krasinski and Mandy Moore) are a young couple that want to get married. And while the movie tries to fitfully graft some personality onto them, they're really never anything more than generic couple #1 from standard rom-com plot #3. Sadie wants to get married in her family's church, which means she and Ben have to pass the marriage preparation course of Father Frank (Robin Williams). Besides giving Williams a chance to lifelessly recycle the same shtick he's done for decades, Father Frank is a Machiavellian bastard who puts Ben and Sadie through Hell as a test of their commitment and compatibility. Or he might be doing it just because Father Frank is a sick twist. License to Wed never quite makes up its mind on that point.This movie is one long, uninterrupted series of forced and unfunny attempts at humor. None of the characters exist to be anything more than a set up or a punch line. None of the situations honestly resemble anything from anyone's real life. There are moments where it seems like the performers are acting in completely different films. The direction veers from over-the-top absurd to pitifully clinging to some sense of reality.This is a wretched piece of work for almost all involved. Robin Williams appears to be grudgingly paying off a bet. Mandy Moore looks utterly unexceptional. John Krasinski is doing an inferior rendition of the same stuff he does on The Office. Director Ken Kwapis demonstrates zero understanding of how to tell a joke, let alone a story.License to Wed is horrible. The only people who could possible enjoy it are those who've seen so many romantic comedies they have a Pavlovian response to the genre.

TheLittleSongbird License to Wed is no masterpiece in any shape or form, but I didn't think it is a bad movie. If I had to sum it up in one word, I would say uneven. Because it is. The story is very predictable and has some dull and unbelievable parts to it, I personally could have done without the part with the "creepy" babies and the script is weak in places. Then there is the pacing, some of the movie does move briskly, but there are moments where it is dull as well, while the direction lacks solidity.That said, it is nicely filmed, the scenery in Jamaica was especially ravishing, and the soundtrack was good. While the film itself is uneven, there are some funny moments such as the introduction to Robin Williams's character and when Ben blows the trumpet into the bug that had been placed into the room. In terms of performances, Robin Williams gives the best one and provides the film's funniest moments. Mandy Moore and John Krassinski aren't as convincing but they are pretty cute.Overall, it was an okay comedy, it had its dull moments but see it for Williams. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Isaac5855 LICENSE TO WED is a sophomoric and offensive "romantic comedy" that centers around Ben Murphy and Sadie Jones (THE OFFICE's John Krasinski and Mandy Moore), a recently engaged couple who, prior to taking their vows, agree to take a course on marriage being conducted by Jones family friend, Father Frank (Robin Williams), which includes things like classes on carrying the bridge across the thresh hold, role playing, animatronic babies, and blindfolded driving lessons. Pedestrian direction and a screenplay that offends at every turn provide further twists of the knife in this childish and predictable comedy that is an embarrassment to all involved. They lost me when Father Frank actually planted electronic listening devices in Ben and Sadie's home and it just goes downhill from there. John Krasinki's easy going charm almost makes the film worth sitting through, but not quite. Even Williams looks embarrassed to be trapped in this debacle.
