	REVIEW:
	License to Wed . . . or, as it’s also known in the city of Las Vegas, the 20 dollar bill! Mandy Moore and John Krasinski play the perfect couple who just want a perfect wedding. For Mandy that means getting married by her childhood priest, played by Robin Williams. Robin Williams is no ordinary priest. He does things his own way and before he’ll marry them on one condition, they have to pass his pre-marriage class first. Since they only have three weeks to the wedding, it’s a crash course. For some reason, his course is really geared to breaking up the happy couple….maybe for some good moral lesson or some comedic twist….well, no. There is no good reason for the story line and a completely lame ending. With Robin Williams, the Catholic Church, and much of the talent from TV’s popular sitcom The Office, License to Wed has all the ingredients necessary to become a classic comedy. All it’s missing? Well, the humor. Poor dialogue, a mediocre story, and questionable acting make the movie oddly unentertaining. And, the tamer (and therefore much lamer) Robin Williams delivers full fledged disappointment. Given several opportunities to pounce with his trademark shocking and hilarious brand of comedy, he doesn’t. Instead, he delivers some sad line he must have known wouldn’t hit home with audiences. License to Wed has a few chuckles and, at its core, a cute premise, but its many issues make it unworthy of a lifetime - or even a 90 minute – commitment.

		MOVIE NIGHT TRAFFIC LIGHT:
		On the Movie Night Traffic Light on a scale of GREEN meaning “Go – it’s a must see”, YELLOW meaning “Caution – it’s okay” and RED meaning “No - stop don’t do it." We rate License to Wed RED. Stop – enough said.
