Ticket to Paradise 2022:- As one watches “Ticket to Paradise,” one is reminded of the famous James Stewart line from 1940’s “The Philadelphia Story.” It goes, “The prettiest sight in this fine, pretty world is the privileged class enjoying its privileges.”
There’s no doubt the privileged class in Ol Parker’s frustratingly unexceptional rom-com is not just the story’s main characters: successful architects, art dealers, and recent law school graduates with deep pockets who can afford a luxury Bali vacation.
There is also a bona fide movie star in this case—George Clooney and Julia Roberts (you might have heard of them occasionally)—having a ball as the last-of-their-kind Hollywood superstars, teasing each other with bitter zingers and sarcastic gotchas while enjoying their well-earned privileges.
Ticket to Paradise 2022 Movie Review & Story
That being said, it certainly is a beautiful sight to see two gorgeous, forever-charismatic silver screen royalty unite against a beautiful tropical backdrop (and in frothy promotional videos), with their gracefully aging visages in the spotlight.
Unfortunately, the loose connection between “Ticket to Paradise” and George Cukor’s screwball classic ends at that quote. We should blame the dispiriting script on its over-reliance on its A-list actors’ magnetic presence instead of bothering with an engaging story.
Let’s take a look at another quote from another film. Now imagine this romantic-comedy fan yelling like William Hurt in “A History of Violence”: “How do you f**k that up? How is it that the effortless charms of Roberts and Clooney do not yield the kind of comedy we used to see in the 1990s? A second romantic story unfolds around them, one that doesn’t hit any believable notes.

It belongs to Lily (a delightful Kaitlyn Dever in an underwritten part), who is the abovesaid law school graduate on her way to a Bali vacation, with her fun and $exually very active female sidekick, Wren (Billie Lourd), and an invitation to join a top-shelf law firm on her return. Lily finally decides to marry Gede (Maxime Bouttier) after the laziest meet-cute sequence ever, after falling in love with him after a few minutes of the meeting.
Lilily, instead of enjoying the time she has with Wren, enjoying some wild nights out and returning home to prepare for the bright future ahead of her-you know as any intelligent young woman would-decides devotes herself completely to Gede. In life or in films, there is nothing wrong with love at first sight, especially in cinematic contexts.
This critic is shamelessly in favor of it. How can you make the massive life decision of getting married and deciding to stay in Bali for it on a whim? Kristoff, the rugged ice harvester in “Frozen,” laughed at this idea: “You mean to tell me you got engaged to someone you just met?” And that was a Disney movie in a 19th Century setting.
Although it doesn’t earn some goodwill during the David-Georgia scenes, “Ticket to Paradise” gives the two some sharp moments of squabble, several of which the trailer unfortunately spoils.
In spite of the momentary bliss, we feel when Lily and Gede reappeared frequently and a present-day romantic interest of Georgia (played by Lucas Bravo) takes up too much time, the $exual tension between the ex-couple and their natural hatred makes it worth the admission price.
