Newly engaged, Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore) can't wait to start their life together and live happily ever after. The problem is that Sadie's family church, St. Augustine's, is run by Reverend Frank (Robin Williams), who won't bless Ben and Sadie's union until they pass his patented, "foolproof" marriage-prep course. Consisting of outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments and some outright invasion of privacy, Reverend Frank's rigorous curriculum puts Ben and Sadie's relationship to the test. Forget happily ever after--do they even have what it takes to make it to the altar? (official distributor synopsis)

A classic American comedy, where interesting characters are placed side by side at first glance, but they don't really work well together in that shared mishmash. The actors are not bad, the plot could also be good, and there is potential for jokes here. But everything is just done so lazily. Simply a rushed comedy, where it is assumed that a few jokes will be enough, there is romance in it and the audience will always find that. Keep slacking off like this, maybe people will eventually get tired of it. The stupid ending buries it even deeper.
