David and Georgia, two divorced parents who can’t stand each other, are forced to reunite when they travel to Bali for their daughter, Lily’s, wedding. She has announced her engagement to a local islander whom she met on holiday.
David and Georgia decide to put aside their differences and work together to stop the wedding, hoping to prevent Lily from making the same mistake they did years ago.
This is one film I was looking forward to watching, and I must admit it was to do with Lucas Bravo featuring as “Paul,” known as Georgia’s pilot boyfriend. Although this was the original reason for me to watch it, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the film was overall, as well as the main cast stars George Clooney (David) and Julia Roberts (Georgia).
From the moment the film started, I had the impression that it would be about a divorced couple trying to prevent their only daughter from marrying and pursuing her own path, rather than following their own dreams of becoming lawyers. It gave a cliché vibe as I have seen similar films like this one before; however, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I did have a few laughs whilst watching, too.
Ticket to Paradise is exactly what you would expect, based on the trailers shown. The location was a perfect one for the film; it was beautiful and had me wondering if one day I may be able to visit an island such as Bali. The scenery, the casting, and the directing were incredible. I was amused and tuned in from start to finish and will recommend to anyone questioning whether to watch it – it is a feel good, fun movie which does not involve a lot of your brain to figure out what is going on, as I feel some films require too much brain power and often leaves more questions than answers, which, this film does not do.
If you’re a fan of Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Lucas Bravo, or any other cast members, I highly recommend watching this. A great, feel-good film that leaves viewers satisfied and happy by the end – well, it did for me.
