From iwatchstuff, License to Wed is currently tracking at 8% on Rotten Tomatoes, putting it well on its way to finding a spot on their 100 Worst list. Spawning a million "Divorce", "Annulment", and "Say I Don't" headlines, here are some other words of praise it received:"Comedies don't get much lamer than License to Wed," -Hollywood Reporter
"Not only is License to Wed Creepy, it's not remotely funny." -Cincinnati Enquirer
"Williams has become a comedic glass ceiling, a black hole of laughs that guarantees every scene he's in will make nails on a chalkboard sound appealing." -Metromix.com
"There's bad, there's awful and there's horrible, and then somewhere beyond that, in its own Kingdom of Lousy -- where all the milk curdles and the jokes aren't funny -- is "License to Wed," the latest ghastly exercise starring Robin Williams." - San Francisco Chronicle
Why are bad reviews so much more fun to read than good ones? Oh that's right, because I'm a bastard. (sigh)

Geez, who woulda thought?
I imagine Williams has perfect internal defense mechanisms for this sort of thing. Like he must read the script and say "ah, they're paying me for the crap this time, no problerino." Then he just switches that big switch on his back to Evil and collects his check.
Yeah I generally only like "serious" Williams, not manic Williams. Did you ever notice that he always has a beard in his serious films?
Not Insomnia.
So no, I guess I didn't notice. Because you're WRONG.
Everytime I see ads for this film I get slightly ill. But then again, I super duper can't stand Jesus or his followers and the idea of a cockblocking priest doesn't seem funny to me for that reason.
I feel sad for the guy from The Office though. He's a cutie and deserved a much better movie.
I agree. He actually looks like he's doing a good job in the previews. Then again, does he really deserve a better movie if he said yes to this one? I'm a little disappointed in him for that.
