It's exactly what it looks like from the commercials -- a one-joke movie, and that one joke isn't even funny to begin with.

Add a lot of musty, Eisenhower-era gags (most women are shrewish ballbusters! all fat people love food!) and you wonder why the producers didn't just throw in canned laughter as well.
David Fear, Time Out New York
Rotten
Despite its fuzzy, getting-to-know-you message, the movie itself offers zero motivation for any of its protagonists.

Like some weddings, License to Wed is a long sit and a bland buffet.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
This assaultively unappealing 'romantic comedy' could well mark the opening salvo in a whole new Hollywood campaign against movie piracy. Anybody who'd steal this dud would stink just from carrying it around.
