Movie Reviews of License to Wed
Movie Review: Some license...
Summary: 2 Stars
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 run by a Minister, who guarantees that it will make them ready for married life. Little do they know that by going through this, they might possibly end up with no married life at all.
I mean, seriously, some of that stuff is outright crazy and stretched. Like that sequence about "learning to fight fair - especially when you've never had a fight before", or "driving blind-folded"... the intro / breaking the ice routine is typical Robin Williams stuff, and was actually reasonable. However, most everything else is not.
See this movie only if you are a die-hard Williams fan. Under no other circumstances. No other performer does anything worth writing home about.
2 out of 5 - only because of RW.
Summary of License to Wed
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.Running Time: 91 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/ROMANTIC COMEDY UPC: 085391160694 Manufacturer No: 1000025306Marriage 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
