Movie Review: Ticket to Paradise (2022) on Prime Video 👋
Think Momma Mia 2 without the music, without the Mediterranean, without the glamour, and without the fun. Ticket to Paradise is about a divorced, fighting couple who travel to Bali in the Pacific near Malaysia to try to stop their daughter from marrying the man of her dream in the locale of her dreams. (See the movie trailer below.)
The production spent their budget on dream-location shooting and two of the biggest names in Hollywood, casting George Clooney and Julia Roberts, then added a decent but predictable script. It's okay, if you're Clooney and Roberts fans. It's okay, if you're wasting-your-vaca-time-on-a-resort-island-locale okay. And maybe right now, in the record heat of this summer, commisserating with the cast and crew who shot the film in the tropics.
Okay, not everything about this film was bad. You can dream about your own South Pacific vacation and maybe running into George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Maybe even run into a lush marriage ceremony while you're there and chuckle about the cultural disconnects. And watch as many planned events go awry. That's the fun of watching Ticket to Paradise, as you sympathize with the engaged couple. Actually, it's a pretty good story if limited in scope and setting. You could do worse.
Or ... maybe you're tired of blockbuster films that aren't making it this year and you want something simple with some laughs. Ticket to Paradise just might be the summer flick for you.
