Parker exacts serious performances from his stars, never winking and nodding to the audience or trying to be postmodern.

While predictable by nature with character development issues throughout, Ticket to Paradise is a compelling romantic comedy worth a watch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2024

Is a silly romantic comedy the best place to employ the drastic, dramatic zooms that a drone allows? Not really.

| Original Score: C | Jul 3, 2024

Grant and Dunne; Hudson and Day; Hanks and Ryan; Sandler and Barrymore (or even Sandler and Kevin James) -- any of these screen couplings could easily be inserted into the plug-and-play template of this pleasant if not particularly distinguished romcom.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 26, 2024

It’s easy to pass off Ticket to Paradise as the quintessential airplane watch, something to put on to bide your time until you move on to bigger and better things but this ostensibly smooth, airy watch is the worst type of romantic comedy.

The easy camaraderie between George Clooney and Julia Roberts and gorgeous location make this amiable rom-com the best kind of eye candy.

The best part about the poster is it sells you on exactly what the movie is, where the movie will go, & if that is the movie you want to see then you shall enjoy it like I did!

Even when surface-level writing fails to dig up the emotional poignancy of the second chance trope, seasoned romantic comedy darlings George Clooney and Julia Roberts make Ticket to Paradise an absolute joy ride.

Travel rom-com ‘Ticket to Paradise’ has all the feel-good and escapist benefits – as long as you’re willing to ignore the heavy baggage.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 21, 2023

In some ways, "Ticket to Paradise" feels dated, but it's a great thing that it exists.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 16, 2023

The audience remains passive, unable to eperience the emotional immersion that a romantic story usually provides. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 30, 2023

Filled with immature, unfunny foolishness with the assumption that we'll find it charming just because of who’s on screen.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 6, 2023

Timing is everything. Roberts and Clooney share the comic variety, and arrives in cinemas exactly when we need entertainment, laughter and escape, welcoming audiences with open arms. The story is standard, but the timing of its arrival is first class.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2023

Yes, dumb comedies sometimes require you to turn off your brain for a couple hours, but do you have to also turn off your soul?

The gnawing arbitrariness of Ticket to Paradise cuts to the heart of why the Hollywood rom-com has been so deficient for so long, often turning to outrageously silly premises just to throw some obstacles in the way.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 19, 2022

Ticket to Paradise is totally predictable, and it feels as though it should have come out in the late 1980s or early-to-mid 1990s. That's exactly what I liked about it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 11, 2022

The film skates by on the charisma of Clooney and Roberts and the gorgeous island setting... . It’s trifling but delightful.

| Dec 5, 2022

America can raise a sigh of relief: Clooney and Roberts are back as a bitchy divorced couple. Clooney is adorable and Roberts has the worst clothes a star has ever worn. Her archenemy dressed her.

Sometimes frothy is only so much foam.

Ticket to Paradise hardly reinvents the wheel, but it is a breezy excuse to reunite the Ocean’s Eleven co-stars for an incredibly fun and funny trip to Bali.
