Licence To Wed - 4 stars

Finally, it has arrived. I’ve been waiting a long time to see another good Robin Williams (“Flubber”, “Aladdin”) comedy because there aren’t many around. This is a film I had heard nothing positive about but it surprised me. “License To Wed” is an amusing film that utilises Robin Williams very well so I was very happy to see this.

In “License To Wed”, Ben (John Krasinski) and Sadie (Mandy Moore “Tangled”) are eager to marry but Reverend Frank (Williams) will only agree to conduct the ceremony if the couples pass a course. No sex and crazy communication tests are just some of the things the two must go through if they are to get the chance to say “I do”.

Robin Williams is terrific here playing an intrusive and slightly creepy reverend; he enjoys listening into couple’s private talks in the back of van using bug implanted in people’s houses. I have to say that I actually enjoyed the couple as most romantic comedy films give you boring and unlikeable couples to observe throughout the duration of the film but that is not the case here. I didn’t like the kid that helps Williams all that much and that’s a shame, he had potential.

“License To Wed” doesn’t revolutionise jokes or anything like that but it’s a genuinely funny movie and it’s sad that this isn’t something I can say about the majority of films starring Williams because I think he’s a highly talented guys whose talents often get misused. There’s too many dud romantic comedy out there whether there about peoples in their 20s or teens so it’s nice to see a good one like this. Forget the negative comments circulating the various reviews and judge it for yourself, I think you’ll like if you’ve sat through “Old Dogs” and “Man of the Year” with mere minor smile on your face.
