The story goes: boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, decide to get married and then ensure that theyre ready for marriage by going through a foolproof marriage prep-course. That course should cover some of the key elements of a marriage: communication, trust, fidelity and love. All these elements are put to the test in outlandish and extreme measures through Reverend Frank's (Williams) rigorous curriculum of insane but hilarious examinations. Newly engaged Ben Murphy (Krasinski) and his fianc((eacute))e, Sadie Jones (Moore), just want to live happily ever after. In order to ensure that they will be happy for ever, Father Frank - of Sadie's family church, St. Augustine's - won't bless Ben and Sadie's union until they pass his course. When his classes and homework assignments are this over the top, their relationship may not survive, and neither may they! They're less concerned about living happily ever after and more worried about it to next week. This is a great comedy where you just roll with the laughs and understand why eloping looks so appealing.'
