Editorial Review: Description: 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. Amazon.com: Marriage is a huge step in any relationship and, with the divorce rate skyrocketing, some clergymen find it advisable to council prospective couples prior to the marriage ceremony. Reverend Frank (Robin Williams) takes his marriage preparation course to a whole new level, putting couples through a very unusual and grueling set of classes that cover everything from trust and communication to experiencing childbirth, meeting each other's needs in and out of bed, and group sessions on how to fight fairly. Happy couple Sadie Jones's (Mandy Moore) and Ben Murphy's (John Krasinski) perfect compatibility is tested to the limits with extraordinary (and hysterical) assignments like caring for twin baby robots that cry and poop without restraint while baby-sitting a friend's two young children and shopping for wedding china. Driving a car blindfolded while one's intended gives directions is no simple task either, but abstinence from sex and writing their own marriage vows may be the couple's most difficult homework assignments. Comedy reigns throughout the entire movie thanks to Robin Williams, his choir-boy assistant Josh Flitter (Nancy Drew) and the rest of the cast and laughing out loud is definitely a course requirement for viewers, but underneath the hilarity is a serious message about making marriage work. --Tami Horiuchi DVD features

 Rating:  - 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 ... Read More Rating:  - 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 ... Read More Rating: - average at bestLicense 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 ... Read More Rating:  - Some license...I rented this movie recently, but was dismayed by what Robin Williams has come down to. I mean, I've seen what I would call some of his best works till date - Good Will Hunting, Insomnia, Bicentennial Man... why, even Mork & Mindy, and I was terribly surprised by what he's been made to do nowadays. After the smash crash "RV", one would have thought he would do better. Well, he perhaps does. The story revolves around a couple who decide to enroll in a pre-nuptial course ... Read More Rating: - Forgettable nonsenseNot even Robin Williams could save this movie. And normally I like him. What's wrong about this movie? Mandy Moore is just there to look pretty (sorry but she is), the male lead is just a pain, there's annoying priest-to-be, and Robin Williams seems to be sleep walking through the role. Of course when you're a couple you have all the firsts: first time you set eyes on each other, first date, first kiss, first time you go to bed together, then there's the whole moving in process, the engagement, ...
