Ticket to Paradise
Married for just 5 years & now a bickering divorced couple who refuse to speak to each other, David & Georgia (George Clooney & Julia Roberts) both love their daughter Lily (Kaitlyn Dever). After graduating from law school, Lily & her BFF Wren (Billie Lourd) go on vacation to Bali. Lily’s sudden wedding plans to marry a local seaweed farmer, Gede, incites a truce between her parents as they plan to sabotage the wedding. Clooney & Roberts are hilarious & have great chemistry playing off of each other. It’s a comedy of errors as this rom/com pretty goes where we expect it to go but that’s where we want it to go anyway. Paradise is a beautiful, happy, feel good place that explores love, marriage, & divorce. Enjoy some Balinese culture & customs. Funny outtakes run during the credits.
Alien gives it 3 “Trojan Horse” stars out of 4.
