This is a loose remake of a French comedy with Dany Boon. That one was much funnier, with a better script. This one is lazy and treats viewers like morons, because it assumes that nice locations like Bali and two likeable, easy on the eye movie stars like Clooney and Roberts will guarantee success, no matter how bad and lazy the script is. It really looks like another comedy made quickly for Netflix. I don't recommend spending money on this, better wait for the streaming or TV... unless you are depressed, unhappy, down on your luck in your private life and quickly need some positive, optimistic and light entertainment. 3/10 for normal viewers, 8/10 if you're depressed and sad.

"Ticket to Paradise" is the clear example that the trailer is better than the movie itself. The script does not bring anything new to romantic comedies, it rushes to take the already known formula and fill the plot with the typical clichés. Julia Roberts and George Clooney offer simple performances without much charm, the secondary characters are more endearing as is the case with Wren Butler played by Billie Lourd. The filming locations are extraordinary and the cinematography makes them look even more beautiful. Returning to the script, it fails to catch on and as entertainment it doesn't go that far either. One of the worst moments is the terrible CGI with which a dolphin that appears on the screen for a few seconds was created. Movie to see once and not repeat.

George & Julia have done it again. Most likely good friends in real life it shows the electricity is there. Set in Bali however shot in north Queensland. If you have been to Bali and north Qld. You will pick the difference in the torain. The vista shots are a big part of the movie well done. The movie reminds you of The Descendants a Clooney movie of years back shot on Hawaii similar yarn and visuals. George looks great and age is kind to him. Julia still presents well in a swim cozie. They both have the best smile and use it to advantage. Other players do a fine job the new husband is a Ken Doll. A light piece of theatre that must be seen on the big screen for full effect. The two classic actors did entertain me Easy to look at.
