Comedy reigns throughout License To Wed thanks to Robin Williams, his choir-boy assistant Josh Flitter (Nancy Drew) and the rest of the cast. Laughing out loud is definitely a course requirement for viewers, but underneath the hilarity is a serious message about making marriage work. --Tami Horiuchi
amusing but never laugh out loud funny

Robin Williams is a man of God who puts people who want to get married through a test which if they pass it, means their marriage will survive.
And thus Williams lowers the divorce rate. An amusing film but never laugh out loud funny with Mandy Moore and John Krasinski - a couple hoping to be wed - playing likeable if fairly mundane characters.
But the dialogue and story are interesting enough to make this movie worth seeing.

was a good film. I liked it. i liked Robin Williams and i like him in this. It even made me have a little cry at the moment towards the end where they are in Jamaica. Watch it now!
Very average romantic comedy

I really like John Krasinski so I had hoped to love this. Unfortunately this film never quite hits the mark. Mandy Moore is quite irritating and I just can't imagine anyone ever getting themselves caught up in the story line. It's a shame because the potential is there but License to Wed just misses. On the plus side, John K. is gorgeous as ever and it's a bit of a treat for fans of The Office (An American Workplace) as there are cameos from a few of the cast. Pretty average stuff.
Not great

Storyline sounds like it's going to be a good one but somehow the film just doesn't live up to that. It wasn't particularly funny, I think I only laughed once and although there were some potentially interesting issues to be explored the actors couldn't manage to get the most out of it.
Annoying characters & aggravating storyline!

I have been a Robin Williams fan for many years and was really looking forward to seeing him play this character. However, the characters and scenarios here were unbelievable - As we watch the young groom being constantly bullied by his future wife, her family and her strange minister into uncomfortable scenes where William's character seems more sinister than funny.
One or two funny scenarios, but for us the overall film felt uncomfortable and lacked any believability.
