A 2007 American Romantic Comedy directed by Ken Kwapis that has a reverend (Robin Williams) testing a couple (Mandy Moore and John Krasinski) to see if they are meant to be married in his church through a series of grueling trials.

The movie also stars Eric Christian Olsen, Christine Taylor, Josh Flitter, De Ray Davis, Peter Strauss, Grace Zabriskie, Roxanne Hart, and Mindy Kaling.

It was released on July 3, 2007.


Tropes for the film:

  • Egg Sitting: Sadie and Ben are tested by Frank by him giving them a pair of extremely disturbing baby dolls. In addition to being equipped to scream and cry (very loudly), they are also capable of various other functions.
  • I Want You to Meet an Old Friend of Mine: Kaling, who worked with Krasinski on The Office (US), also appears as Shelly Rawat in the film.
  • Thanks for the Mammary: This happens early on, where Ben accidentally does this to Sadie to keep her from stepping off the sidewalk onto a busy street. He hurriedly removes his hand after realizing where he put it. She reacts in mock indignation and asks if he's trying to skip straight to second base (they have only just started dating). As he's stammering a reply, she tells him that should probably start with first base and kisses him.
