License to Wed
A newly engaged couple must survive a hilariously invasive, over-the-top marriage prep course imposed by a meddling reverend before their dream wedding can go ahead.
“First came love... then came Reverend Frank.”
Synopsis
Ben and Sadie, newly engaged, are eager to begin their life together and look forward to a happy future. However, Sadie's family church's Reverend Frank insists on blessing their union only after they complete his patented, "foolproof" marriage preparation course. The course includes outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments, and some elements that border on an invasion of privacy.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 96+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.0× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
