Ticket to Paradise<\/em>? This is a one-way ticket to Snoozeville! Not even Julia Roberts and George Clooney can save this glacially paced romcom devoid of any \u201crom\u201d or \u201ccom.\u201d More like rom-come on<\/em>!<\/p>\n
Here’s Fletcher Peters’ take<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
\u201cTicket to Paradise <\/em>seemed to have it all: a glimmering location, a light-hearted story, and, to top it all off, two of the greatest movie stars of all time. With Julia Roberts and George Clooney at the helm, Ticket to Paradise <\/em>was set to be an all-inclusive cruise full of good times. Add in the director from Mama Mia! Here We Go Again<\/em>two of the Booksmart<\/em> <\/em>ladies, and the hunk from Emily in Paris<\/em>\u2014what’s not to love?<\/p>\n
This movie. This movie is not lovable in nearly any way, unfortunately. I wasn’t hoping for Ticket to Paradise<\/em> to be Ocean’s Eleven<\/em>-meets-When Harry Met Sally<\/em>, but after watching its charming trailer over and over again, I expected to have a little fun. Maybe it’d be a little like Marry Me<\/em>-meets-My Best Friend’s Wedding<\/em>. I can have a good time, even with a cheesy overload. unfortunately, Ticket to Paradise <\/em>Really doesn’t deliver.<\/p>\n
But there’s not enough charisma in the world to power the boring script of Ticket to Paradise<\/em>. There’s no yearning, an accessory Julia Roberts expertly sports in My Best Friend’s Wedding<\/em>nor is there the exquisite glamor of Notting Hill<\/em>. Roberts’ chemistry with Clooney recreates what they had in Ocean’s Eleven<\/em>, but without any actual excitement or stakes, why are we watching? If we wanted to see George and Julia, our old pals, goofing around, we could just watch videos from the press tour for this film. As much as I wanted to add Ticket to Paradise <\/em>to my lengthy list of rom-coms to watch over and over again, unfortunately, I’ll have to resort to those promo YouTube clips and Ocean’s Eleven <\/em>instead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Inside Amy Schumer<\/em> returns after six years a little less rough around the edges, but just as much satirical bite. Come for the sendup of ubiquitous shapewear, stay for the fart jokes. (Seriously!)<\/p>\n
