Just in case anyone\u2019s interested in this film<\/a>, which I mentioned a couple months back, this is from a press release I got today:<\/span><\/p>\n

The film follows newly engaged Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and his fianc\u00e9e Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore), who\u2019s always dreamed of getting married in a traditional wedding at her family church. The problem is, St. Augustine\u2019s only has one wedding slot available in the next two years, and its charismatic pastor Reverend Frank (Robin Williams) won\u2019t bless Ben and Sadie\u2019s union until they pass his patented, foolproof, marriage-prep course. Through outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments and some pious manipulation, Ben and Sadie are about to find out if they really have what it takes to make it to the altar\u2026 and live happily ever after.<\/p>\n

License To Wed<\/a><\/i> also stars Eric Christian Olsen (Cellular<\/i>) as Sadie\u2019s best friend and confidant, Carlisle; Christine Taylor (Dodgeball<\/i>) as Sadie\u2019s sister, Lindsey; and Josh Flitter (Big Momma\u2019s House 2<\/i>) as Reverend Frank\u2019s precocious side-kick, the choir boy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FWIW, I wouldn\u2019t say I have high expectations for this movie, or even hopes \u2014 but the premise interests me all the same.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
