Ticket to Paradise (2022)

Written by Peter McGinn on November 9, 2022

With lesser actors this movie would be just another bit of rom-com fluff. But with Clooney and Roberts at the helm, it elevated to a glossy, shiny bit of rom-com fluff. I could see most major plot developments coming from a mile away, but this genre has its own formula and must follow it.

I liked Kaitlin’s Dever in Booksmart and am inclined to like her anyway due to a startling resemblance to a loved relative of mine. Sure glad she isn’t playing villains!

And even though it was predictable, I still had hopes they wouldn’t take the easy way out with the Clooney/Roberts duo. No such luck. Oh well, it could have been a lot worse. The local color was interesting.
