i be go to say something that no one in license to wed have the gut ( or the brain ) to say reverend frank belongs behind bar . frank be suppose to be a goofy and likable guy who grow on u despite his unorthodox method toward couple coach . unfortunately and the movie go to such extreme that we be not so much charm by frank and rather we be terrify by him . the man be a menace and and the fact that nobody seem to realize it except for one character make everyone in this movie come across a completely oblivious . young lover ben murphy ( john krasinski ) and sadie jones ( mandy moore ) have just make plan to take their relationship to the next level and get marry . it always be sadie dream to be marry at the family church with reverend frank ( robin williams ) do the ceremony . before they can get married and however and frank force the young lover into a bizarre program where they will have to pass a series of test to see if they be right for each other . frank and along with his young student ( josh flitter ) and set up a series of challenge and simulation that be suppose to represent the difficulty that the couple will face in the future together . while it sound reasonable enough in theory and the reverend go so far a to invade their private life and even bug ben and sadie apartment with concealed record equipment and let him hear everything that happen when he not around . ben patience with frank extreme program start to wear thin and and the young couple start to contemplate if thing be a compatible between them a they initially think . there nothing really wrong with license to wed whenever reverend frank be not on the screen . during those time and it a perfectly ordinary romantic comedy that play by the rule . unfortunately and frank be a major character and and the movie devote too much time to him . he an evil and manipulative man and and be suppose to laugh at him and because he play by robin williams and and he constantly shoot off zippy one liner . if this character have be play straight and i have no doubt believe his reverend frank would be right up there with his deranged performance in insomnia and one hour photo . at one point and he have a 10 year old kid break into the couple apartment while theyre away at a session and and conceal a wire tap in their home . the character of frank come across a someone who enjoy torment young couple who just want to get married and and be not below employ child to do his dirty work so that he remain off the hook . if this sound like a jovial and comical character to you and i highly suggest counseling . my question be why do nobody else in this movie but ben realize just how evil this guy be . and when ben discover the wire tap and why doesn not he make a big deal about it . more importantly and why doesn not sadie . when ben finally do tell her about the hidden recording equipment and sadie doesn not even react to this revelation and nor do she even act offend . be we to believe this woman doesn not even care that this man have be violate their privacy . if i seem to be put too much stock in one character and i can not help it . he be what make this entire movie go wrong . the character hang over the movie like a black shadow and and cause everyone to become incredibly stupid and because no one can admit to themselves that this man be wrong . even ben and who distrust him from the moment he lay eye on frank and wind up like the guy before the movie over . it hard to get behind a cast when theyre force to play clueless moron for the sake of the plot . mandy moore and once again find herself play a woman who refuse to even look at the obvious until the screenplay feel it convenient for her to do so . after because i say so and now this and i be start to wonder if she have some kind of bizarre fascination with woman who make bad decision for no reason other than to move the plot along . john krasinski be passable and but not much more than that . he seem to kind of be play a ben stiller type character and only without stiller enthusiasm . the rest of the cast spend most of the time in the background and not contribute much of anything . that because reverend frank keep on hijack the movie at every conceivable opportunity . it get to the point we start wonder if be watch a movie and or if be watch one of williams lesser improv performance . license to wed be a movie that go so extremely off course and and it all because of one man . if he have just be write a different way and the film could have be salvage . a it be and he drag the entire movie down with him . it amaze how the wrong lead character can affect everyone and everything around them . when the movie come to it predetermine happy end and i do not feel joy . i felt sorry for this couple that this guy be still a part of their life and and imagine what hell await them in the future . i be sure we will hear all about it if be unfortunate enough to get a sequel .
