License to Wed (2007)

1/7/18. Maybe 2 1/2 stars. An ok chick flick in which a couple gets tested by a minister for marriage readiness. It's cute and Krasinski and Moore have the chemistry that makes this work. Williams was good, but a bit stiff as the minister. The movie does cover the basics about what makes a relationship work, so that's your object lesson for the day.

LICENCE TO WEDI am a fan of Robin Williams. He has made some great movies in the past, but I have not really seen him in anything decent recently. This was only average.The movie is about a couple who want to get married. Before they get married, the vicar of the church puts them through a few tests to see if they are compatible.This is a comedy and it is funny in places, but it is not hilarious. There was not a lot memorable about it.The story was OK and it went along smoothly. But there could have been more. I was hoping for a few more twists and turns, but the whole film just was straight forward.The acting was very good throughout from everyone. The movie stars Mandy Moore, John Krasinski and the legend that is Robin Williams. Mandy and John went well together. I believed they were a couple. Robin was the star of the film from my point of view. He was the funniest character, but this is nowhere near his best role.This is a typical romantic comedy. Everything that you expect from a rom com you get. The ending was very predictable too. I just wish they would make a rom com where it all goes wrong at the end... The closest they got to that was The Break Up.This film was enjoyable to watch and it did keep us entertained all the way through, but it could have been better.I will give this 6 out of 10."Do you wanna walk the midget?"For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:Ordinary person movie reviews

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.

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.
