Ticket to Paradise Reviews
Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews
While predictable by nature with character development issues throughout, Ticket to Paradise is a compelling romantic comedy worth a watch.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Freda Cooper What To Watch
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.

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?

Scott Tobias The Reveal (Substack)
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The chemistry of Roberts and Clooney, and also Dever and Bouttier, keep Ticket to Paradise from being saccharine and heavy-handed. It’s witty and laugh-out-loud funny. It was a pleasure to sit through and an enjoyable change of pace.
