Starring Robin Williams, Mandy Moore and John Krasinski, with Christine Taylor, Eric Christian Olsen and Josh Flitter in supporting roles, the film tells the story of a reverend who puts an engaged couple through a grueling marriage preparation course to see if they are meant to be married in his church.

The film was released in theaters in the United States on July 3, 2007, by Warner Bros. Pictures, and received negative reviews from critics.

Although she has found her lifetime companion in Ben Murphy, Sadie is distressed to learn that St. Augustine has only one wedding slot available in the next two years.

Although Sadie and Ben do qualify for the slot, the church's eccentric minister, Reverend Frank Littleton, will not wed the couple until they agree to enroll in his prenuptial course (shortened, due to the new date, from three months to three weeks).

As their wedding date draws near, Sadie and Ben must now follow all of Reverend Frank's rules, attend his unusual classes, and complete a series of homework assignments designed specifically to irritate one another, to confirm that theirs is not puppy love and to ensure that their union will have a sound foundation.

This resulted in appearances from The Office cast members John Krasinski, Angela Kinsey, Mindy Kaling and Brian Baumgartner.

The consensus reads: "Featuring one of Robin Williams's most shtick-heavy performances, the broad and formulaic License to Wed wrings little out of its slightly creepy, unappealing premise.
