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.

Reviews for License To Wed
Top CriticI was so tempted to walk out of License to Wed. And I have never walked out of a movie, not in my ten-year career as a film critic, not before.
07/02/07
If you can't predict how it all turns out, you've never seen a family sitcom.
07/02/07
[Krasinski and Moore] have bankable chemistry, and it allows License to float along for longer than you'd think possible.
07/02/07
It makes marriage look like the biggest mistake of all time, and the multiplex a prison from which there is no escape.
07/02/07
One of the year's worst comedies, and in a year that has already contained 'Norbit' and 'Wild Hogs,' that's saying something.
07/02/07
Somewhere along the way, somebody should have pulled this License, at least until the writers found funnier stuff for everybody to do.
07/02/07
License to Wed is another lamebrain Hollywood comedy in which a peanut gallery of the shrill and the narcissistic conspire to drive a wedge between two innocents.
07/02/07
Top CriticThis crude and unfunny comedy represents one of the low points in what has already been a disappointing summer-movie season.
07/02/07
Weddings are supposed to be happy occasions, but this shrill by-the-numbers comedy provides little reason to smile.
07/02/07
License to Wed is set on a plane of existence not inhabited by intelligent life, but by widespread nincompoops.
07/02/07
Like a creepy kid who has taken a few too many Ritalin tablets, License to Wed bounds around the screen wildly, overanxious to prove its wackiness.
07/02/07
Mandy Moore is so likable, while Robin Williams is so not. [But] John Krasinski is like wallpaper. He's just there.
07/02/07
Williams has become a comedic glass ceiling, a black hole of laughs that guarantees every scene he's in will make nails on a chalkboard sound appealing.
07/02/07
Williams' Reverend Frank is so obnoxious that he'd empty the pews as fast as this dreadful movie will empty theatre auditoriums.
07/02/07
The only amusing thing about License to Wed is the idea that it's supposed to be funny in the first place.
07/01/07
A droll, amusing cautionary tale about the chances of living "happily ever after" - and wait for the zany outtakes during the final credits.
06/30/07
Unleashing Robin Williams in the least flattering possible manner, License to Wed squanders the modest chemistry between its appealing central couple uniting its elements in an astonishingly flat romantic comedy.
06/30/07
Top CriticComedies don't get much lamer than License to Wed. Working from a flawed premise with characters lacking credibility and plot turns more moronic than funny, the movie flatlines in about five minutes.
06/30/07
Top CriticAnother by-the-books exercise in formula romantic comedies ... no surprises and no real reason to have to subject yourself to this.
