“Ticket to Paradise” Reunites Clooney and Roberts in Rom-Com

comedy, romance, ,

George Clooney and Julia Roberts reunite on the big screen for a simple romantic comedy. They are high-end exes on a shared mission to stop their love-struck daughter from making the same mistake they once made—marrying too young with an established career. 

Ol Parker directed Ticket to Paradise from his script with Daniel Pipski. Parker has also directed other upbeat films, such as Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and scripted the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel films. 

Ticket to Paradise has a promotional line that says it’s a romantic comedy about the sweet surprise of second chances. The film sounds like we know the ending but must watch Roberts and Clooney go through the hoops to get there. 

Kaitlyn Dever also stars as their daughter, who found her true love and plans to marry him unless her parents stop her.

According to the DreamWorks fandom page, the original title was Puss in Boots: Nine Lives and Forty Thieves, and it’s now Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Personified as a digital, bulbous boy, Heffley appears to stumble through misadventures with his buddy, Rowley, voiced by Ethan William Childress. Together they ride out the dreadful mishaps of trying to social fit as a middle schooler.
