Sadie Jones (Moore) has always longed to marry the man of her dreams in her family church. Though she found her lifetime companion in Ben Murphy (Krasinski), Sadie is distressed to learn that St. Augustine's has only one wedding slot available over the next two years. While Sadie and Ben do qualify for the slot, charismatic St. Augustine's minister Reverend Frank (Williams) won't wed the couple until they agree to attend his two-week prenuptial course. Now, as their wedding date draws near, Sadie and Ben must attend every one of Reverend Frank's exhausting classes and complete a series of rigorous homework assignments designed specifically to test their dedication to one another and ensure that their union will have a sound foundation. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
David Fear, Time Out New York
Add a lot of musty, Eisenhower-era gags (most women are shrewish ballbusters! all fat people love food!) and you wonder why the producers didn't just throw in canned laughter as well.
-
Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com
Despite its fuzzy, getting-to-know-you message, the movie itself offers zero motivation for any of its protagonists.
-
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Like some weddings, License to Wed is a long sit and a bland buffet.
-
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
This assaultively unappealing 'romantic comedy' could well mark the opening salvo in a whole new Hollywood campaign against movie piracy. Anybody who'd steal this dud would stink just from carrying it around.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
I hereby pronounce you a flop.
