In fact, Parker seems to have such little confidence in his script that he cuts off many scenes before the jokes they contain have a chance to breathe. Once the parents arrive in Bali, the focus turns to a series of goofy situations, none of which make any of the main characters more endearing. Hate before love is a time-tested rom-com concept, but the enmity between David and Georgia is half-baked at best.
The setup for both David and Georgia’s history and Lily’s shotgun marriage is so minimal it’s almost non-existent, leaving no time for the audience to get truly invested in either relationship. They travel to the Indonesian island to show support for Lily, but secretly plan to devise a way to keep the two lovebirds apart.ĭirected by Ol Parker and written by Parker and Daniel Pipski, the film is shockingly low on appeal given the stars and the setting. Now they fear Lily is about to make the same mistake they did, as she’s set to marry Gede (Maxime Bouttier), a native of Bali whom she met just one month ago while on vacation celebrating her graduation from law school. Naturally, that film is Ticket to Paradise, in which David (Clooney) and Georgia (Roberts) are highly antagonistic toward each other, having been long divorced after their five-year marriage only yielded one good thing: Their daughter, Lily (Kaitlyn Dever).

The pair previously co-starred as romantic partners in two Ocean’s films, but it took until they were both well into middle-age before someone based a whole movie around their chemistry.
Thanks to their movie star looks, high-wattage smiles, and vibrant personalities, both actors have maintained their status as A-listers even when their movies failed to light it up at the box office. Over the past 30 years, there are have been few more charming actors than George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
