License to Wed
Directed by Ken Kwapis1h 31m2007
Newly engaged, Ben and Sadie can't wait to start their life together and live happily ever after. However Sadie's family church's Reverend Frank won't bless their union until they pass his patented, "foolproof" marriage prep course consisting of outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments and some outright invasion of privacy.
Our read: License to Wed (2007) reads as a warm, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
