Consensus: Featuring one of Robin Williams' most shtick-heavy performances, the broad and formulaic License to Wed wrings little out of its slightly creepy, unappealing premise.

Reviews for License To Wed
Predictable wedding comedy is all about Williams.
10/31/07
If you can't predict how it all turns out, you've never seen a family sitcom.
07/02/07
As someone engaged, I felt they disrespected what marriage can and should mean. And most importantly, I'm offended at their attempt at cringe-worthy humor.
03/03/08
No matter how hard I try, I'm finding it difficult to write anything positive about License to Wed. This movie is bad from top to bottom, front to back, and start to finish.
07/03/07
Top CriticKrasinski 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 to Wed doesn't fail her this time.

Top CriticYou know you’re in trouble when the outtakes during the end credits are the best part.
07/06/07
Josef Goebbels had a home movie made of the failed 1944 Hitler assassins being hanged from meathooks with piano wire. It probably had more laughs, more fun, more feelgood moments than this family comedy.
08/10/07
It's not quite as bad as some would have it (it will not, for example, kill puppies), but it is really very horrible.
09/12/07
...a romantic comedy misfire that could send aspirant newlyweds and anyone else in attendance down the wrong aisle--to the exit door.
07/09/07
Robin Williams has made so many one-star comedies that it's impossible to keep count at this point. But rest assured that there's a multiplex in hell that screens them on a perpetual loop.
07/17/07
License To Wed never escapes the combined trap of terminal blandness and a severe lack of decent jokes.
08/10/07
As with 50% of all marriages in this country, this film breaks down irretrievably, leaving all concerned feeling hurt, angry, and not a little betrayed.
06/28/07
If ever there was a ceremony or ritual that needed to be called off, it is the one that begins with the act of buying a ticket for this movie.
07/11/07
Somewhere, Rainn Wilson is smiling to himself.That's because, unlike some of the rest of John Krasinski's castmates from "The Office," he wasn't involved in "License to Wed," a wretched excuse for a romantic comedy.
07/10/07
The story ends with a sentimental clunk. To say the picture isn't funny is putting it mildly. It isn't tolerable.
07/03/07
Top CriticThe movie is a pastiche of tortured slapstick, groan-inducing dialogue and a lethal dose of treacle, apparently awaiting one of Williams' trademark sprees of riffing and vamping to save the day. That moment never comes.
07/03/07
Top CriticDo they have what it takes to keep it cool and stay together long enough to get hitched? Trust me, you won't care.
07/03/07
Another by-the-books exercise in formula romantic comedies ... no surprises and no real reason to have to subject yourself to this.
06/29/07
Too dependent on Williams to fill in the humorless gaps here, and the humor itself just isn't funny in the first place.
