    john krasinski was too adorable...robin of course hilarious and underated as per usual
  • August 11, 2008
    Robin Williams, Mandy Moore, and John Krasinski are funny in this movie that tests an engaged couple....can they make it through marriage classes with the priest or kill one another?
  • July 25, 2008
    Mandy Moore is so perfect it's a shame she continues to get up in this drivel. Like Anger Management but with an annoying priest sticking his nose in. Stare with murderous rage as we see situations unfold without the slightest wiff of comic inspiration. It's a shame these actors ...( read more)are stuck in this film as they aren't so bad but everything else is. This type of film is so bad it makes remakes look original.

    Cutesy, grating, funny, eye rolling, and groan inducing.

    I am so glad my marriage isn't that way! lol

    Funny. Also, John is my new man meat lust so it didn't hurt watching him either.

    I like Mandy Moore, she was amazing in Saved!, and of course I adore John Krasinski. It even has Grace Zabriskie in a supporting role! Though hardly an excellent, marvelous cast, it is a pretty good start and potential for something funny. Then, of course, we have Robin "comedy c...( read more)ancer" Williams. Fuck that bastard.

Pete Hammond, Maxim

If for any reason your wife or girlfriend - or both - try to drag you to this thing, break up with them instead. It would be less painful. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Like some weddings, License to Wed is a long sit and a bland buffet. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post

I hereby pronounce you a flop. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Forget about Saw, Hostel and all the other films in the new, notorious torture-porn genre. If you're looking for a really sick movie, check out License to Wed. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

There's bad, there's awful and there's horrible, and then somewhere beyond that, in its own Kingdom of Lousy -- where all the milk curdles and the jokes aren't funny -- is License to Wed. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

The movie is plodding, predictable, formulaic and, worst of all, not funny. full review

July 3, 2007
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

The story ends with a sentimental clunk. To say the picture isn't funny is putting it mildly. It isn't tolerable. full review

July 3, 2007
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

It is only the latest attempt by a Hollywood studio to pander to prurience and piety in a single gesture, and to avoid giving offense by treating all possible factions of the public equally, which is ...

July 3, 2007
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

Krasinski affirms that he can carry more than a desk job on The Office, and Moore plays straight gal in a film that improves, at least, on her last role in the ugh-inducing Because I Said So. License ... full review
