"Ticket to Paradise" Movie Theatre Review



Synopsis: a long divorced couple come together to stop their daughter from getting married in this romantic comedy! What else do you need to know?

When Julia smiles she lights up the whole theatre and whether you like Clooney or not there is no denying his charisma and the friendship between the two off-screen comes through on screen. When the couple gets drunk or dances together to tunes that were hits when they were teenagers or 'zap' each other whether in private, or in front of others, you know they are a fun pair so you just sit back and enjoy the laughs.

Kaitlyn Dever as their daughter and Maxime Bouttier as her intended, Lucas Bravo as Julia's pilot boyfriend, Arielle Carver-ONeill as Dever's best friend and Genevieve Lemon as an airline passenger and fellow traveler to Bali, are there basically to set up scenes and laughs for Roberts and Clooney with the script being the weakest part of the film.(I suspect, with Roberts and Clooney being executive producers, they may have 'helped' with adlibs.)

The scenic shots (in Queensland, Australia) are breathtaking and when you see the movie, if you can, count the number of costume changes Roberts has just on the island (and how many suitcases she would have needed to carry them all!)

"Ticket to Paradise" is a 'Hollywood' romantic comedy and you know what is going to happen and how it will end but put Julia Roberts and George Clooney in the film and it feels, looks fresh plus for an hour and 44 minutes--be sure to stay for the ending credits--you leave the politics, inflation, Ukraine and all the bad news outside the theatre.
