Whether it be drunk dancing after beer pong games and embarrassing their daughter or laughing at each other’s miseries like getting bitten by a dolphin; the two are fire on ice.
Also, a plus point is the aesthetic Australia turned-Bali cinematography that is sure to reel you in but never once feels overindulgent like a tourism ad. Even if the characters keep mentioning how it’s the best place on Earth. While some dialogues reach their saturation levels, overall, the writing by Ol Parker and Daniel Pipski is sure to tickle your funny bones just right, particularly when Clooney and Roberts are given free rein to duke it out.
Minus Points While Ticket to Paradise brings back the love for romantic comedies, it also suffers from the seen all that syndrome and there’s nothing fresh to the genre that the movie offers.
