WEDDING DAZE Ben and Sadie (Krasinski and Moore) are the happy couple -- until Reverend Frank enters the picture in the less than blissful comedy License to Wed

More reviews about this film Powered by MRQE.com

Robin Williams, as License to Wed's mischievous Reverend Frank, could have used a few more of the sort of zingers he had in Mrs. Doubtfire. Reverend Frank refuses to marry Ben (John Krasinski) and Sadie (Mandy Moore), a pair of ''men are from the flat screen TV department''/''women are from the wedding boutique'' clichés, until they undergo his ''program,'' a series of tests designed to reveal the awfulness they're in for. The creepy-faced robot twin babies are funny (for a while); the rest of the film is not. It's like Meet the Parents with Dr. Phil as the officiant from hell.
