"'License To Wed' is a comedy fiasco."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

D-
"It makes marriage look like the biggest mistake of all time, and the multiplex a prison from which there is no escape."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

1/4
"...a grating, nigh unwatchable piece of work."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

D
"It's the kind of pic where I wished I walked out of the theater with a paper bag over my head."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

1/4
"License to Wed is set on a plane of existence not inhabited by intelligent life, but by widespread nincompoops."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

F
"One of the year's worst comedies, and in a year that has already contained 'Norbit' and 'Wild Hogs,' that's saying something."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

D-
"Williams' Reverend Frank is so obnoxious that he'd empty the pews as fast as this dreadful movie will empty theatre auditoriums."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1/4
"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."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/10
"You know it's bad when there are more interesting things happening during the outtakes in the closing credits than in the movie itself."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

1.5/4
"The outtakes that accompany the end credits suggest that making the movie was a blast; it's a shame the same can't be said for watching it."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

1/4
"Too dependent on Williams to fill in the humorless gaps here, and the humor itself just isn't funny in the first place."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"I 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."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

C
"The trials Ben and Sadie go through are nothing compared to the obstacle course inflicted on the audience, who has to work very hard to find anything entertaining or enjoyable."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1/4
"The only amusing thing about License to Wed is the idea that it's supposed to be funny in the first place."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1/5
""License to Wed" is so awful that if I had to choose between sitting through it or "RV" again, I would actually have to sit and think about it for a while"  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

C
"If you can't predict how it all turns out, you've never seen a family sitcom."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

3/5
"[Krasinski and Moore] have bankable chemistry, and it allows License to float along for longer than you'd think possible."  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell

7/10
"A droll, amusing cautionary tale about the chances of living "happily ever after" - and wait for the zany outtakes during the final credits."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger

2/10
"It's not quite as bad as some would have it (it will not, for example, kill puppies), but it is really very horrible."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
