SnoopyStyle Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore) and Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) are getting married. She wants her Reverend Frank (Robin Williams) to preside but the reverend wants them to go through a marriage course.Mandy Moore and John Krasinski make a perfectly vanilla plain cute couple. With a simple story, they have a fighting chance for a simple rom-com. However, Robin Williams is really annoying. He's manipulative, passive aggressive, and yet everybody loves him. The problem is that his schtick isn't cute anymore. As the movie keeps going, it only gets worse and anti-funny. Mandy Moore gets weirdly clueless, and John Krasinski gets more angry. It would probably be better to set up their characters better. In fact, we don't get much of Ben's family.There are other minor problems. DeRay Davis is too weak as his best friend. The role needs somebody more funny. Eric Christian Olsen would be a better fit. Anything to get Robin Williams off the screen would be a good idea.Then there's the ring inscription. If it's going to be a big joke, then we need to see the writing. The whole time I'm waiting to see the note. It's the absolute weakest of movie making.The only fun part of the movie are the outtakes at the end. At least it looks like everybody had fun and laughing while filming this movie. It's great to see the gang of 'The Office' have second jobs. But this movie is more annoying than anything.

studioAT This is the type of comedy Robin Williams could probably do in his sleep because the director has just given him full reign to do whatever he wants and its shows.The plot is wafer thin but strangely enjoyable if only for the madness that occurs when Williams is on screen. He is without a doubt the bright spark in a film that tries to be comedic and heartfelt at the same time but misses the mark on both elements badly.It has it's moments but it's never going to be an award winning movie or even a laugh out loud movie because even with Williams milking every comic moment for all its worth the film at best only really raises a smile every half hour of so.If you're a fan of the actors then go out and watch this film but if not I wouldn't rush to see it.

Jackson Booth-Millard I saw maybe one or two clips, and passed the DVD cover plenty of times, every time spotting the leading actor, and knowing that was enough to convince me to try it despite the critics' opinions. Basically Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore) and Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) are in love, and after proposing Ben hopes to get married in the Caribbean, but Sadie wants to keep the family tradition and marry in St. Augustine's church. As the preparations get underway, the couple meet the eccentric pastor Reverend Frank (Robin Williams), who informs them that the only recent date available for them to marry is three weeks away, or they can wait two years. To make sure they are truly made for each other, the Reverand is insisting they take a marriage preparation course, Ben doesn't think it's necessary, but Sadie speaks on behalf of both of them and agrees. The only rules Sadie and Ben have is that they have to write their own vows, and they should not have any sexual contact until the happy day, and to make sure they stick to these rules the Revearnd and his sidekick Choir Boy (Ace Ventura Jr.'s Josh Flitter) bug their apartment. The course involves them learning everything a real couple have to go through, including having arguments, taking care of babies (they are given two creepy animatronic twins) and trust tests, e.g. blind-folded driving with guiding. All these tests they are going through is putting pressure on both of them, especially Ben who is determined to find out why Reverand Frank is the way he is, and the truth comes out that he used to be married himself. Sadie walks away from the wedding rehearsal not because of this revelation, but because she doesn't believe he is serious enough to write his vows. Thankfully Ben knows she has used their honeymoon ticket to the Caribbean, so he goes in search for Sadie with Reverand Frank following, and ready to marry them knowing they are good for each other. Also starring Eric Christian Olsen as Carlisle, Christine Taylor as Lindsey Jones, DeRay Davis as Joel, Peter Strauss as Mr. Jones, Grace Zabriskie as Grandma Jones and Monster in Law's Wanda Sykes as Doctor. Williams gets his moments of comedy and one-liners, you just get the sense he is a little too semi-psychotic, but he is the only reason to see the film, it is your usual schmaltzy romantic comedy with everything we have seen before. Adequate!

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.
