USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

The characters and plot lack even a shred of credibility.Read the full review

Washington Post | Stephen HunterAdd Critic to Favorites

Uneven but occasionally funny.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

The creepy-faced robot twin babies are funny (for a while); the rest of the film is not. It's like "Meet the Parents" with Dr. Phil as the officiant from hell.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Scott TobiasAdd Critic to Favorites

Krasinski knows how to play off Williams--his pained looks are all too appropriate in the face of Williams' desperate shtick--but it's disillusioning to see him here, because he seems too smart for this film.Read the full review

Variety | Brian LowryAdd Critic to Favorites

Pic is at best a relatively harmless way to enjoy air conditioning for those who admire Williams' ability to riff, even at his most irritating.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Kevin CrustAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie is a pastiche of tortured slapstick, groan-inducing dialogue and a lethal dose of treacle, apparently awaiting one of Williams' trademark sprees of riffing and vamping to save the day. That moment never comes, however.Read the full review

Wall Street Journal | Joanne KaufmanAdd Critic to Favorites

The inert License to Wed shambles along one lame scene after another.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

If unused spit takes, flubbed dialogue, and extra improvisation are so uproarious, why not give us 90 minutes of that? License to Wed is tolerable for about five.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

This movie is bad from top to bottom, front to back, and start to finish.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Kirk HoneycuttAdd Critic to Favorites

Working from a flawed premise with characters lacking credibility and plot turns more moronic than funny, the movie flatlines in about five minutes.Read the full review
