TONIGHT WITH TRAV RATES “TICKET TO PARADISE” WITH…
Film Synopsis: A divorced couple (George Clooney & Julia Roberts) that teams up and travels to Bali to stop their daughter (Kaitlyn Dever) from making the same mistake they think they made 25 years ago!
Trav’s Critique On “TICKET TO PARADISE” ➡️ Is there really such a ticket like this? A Ticket to Paradise. LOL! An actual ticket to paradise? What really is paradise to YOU? Yup, I’m asking you! I’m talking to you reading my review right now. Haha! If someone came up to you right now and offered, you this magical ticket to paradise – where would you use it go …IF it really existed? Would you take one person with you if that was an option? Do you think that you could be happy and self-fulfilled living life for the rest of your days on Earth all alone with no love?
No one to share your life with? While watching this film, I had those same exact thoughts, questions, and many more swarm around in my head and the one thing that kept bubbling up to the surface about David and Georgia was that they are like so many other couples in the world today that get divorced if you really stop and think about it, realistically. There are some couples that have separations/divorces that end abruptly and bitter; the couple cannot even stand each other; let alone be in the same room with one another or in close proximity with each other. Then on the other hand you have couples that divorce and can remain cordial and civil, and they leave it at that.
Then there are couples who can divorce, get re-married, realize their mistake to divorce and get back together. The point that I am trying to make is that in this film Clooney’s and Robert’s characters could not stand each other, but it was not hostile and when it came to them trying to stop their daughter Lily from making the same mistake they did because their marriage did not work out – they formed an alliance; temporarily to get along to stop her. Parents always want their children to be better than them and to make better choices than they did.
We all know this; but what parents need to understand is that at some point they need to let go and allow their children to make their own choices and live with the consequences of those decisions that they chose to make without anyone’s outside influences. Parents should let their children know that and always let them know that when they fall; they will be there to catch them because no matter how old they will get, they will always be their “little boy” or little girl.”
In Ticket to Paradise, the character of Gede was a very mature young man for Lily and for her to go to Bali after she graduated from college and to adapt to a whole new lifestyle and way of living and to get engaged to a boy, she had only known for such a short period of time – that’s life. That happens and the reaction that Lily’s parents had – TOTALLY NORMAL! ANY parent in the world would want to question and overreact the way that they did. The film was a comedy, but it was romantic and sweet as well. It hit on all the major points in any family’s life when it’s time to let your child go and grow.
But I will say that Lily’s BFF, Wren who is played by Billie Lourd – OMG, she is hilarious as hell in this film! And the scene where they were all playing Beer Pong…I wish that I could rewind that part in the theater and play it over and over again because that beer ping scene is my one and only ticket to paradise right there! When you watch the film, what do you think your ticket to paradise will be aka YOUR favorite scene in the movie? Tell me!! I wanna know!
This was a predictable film for me because I predicted what would happen at the end of the film, but not the “FINAL FINAL” end. You will understand what I mean when you see it because you will NOT be able to miss it.
My Ticket To Paradise Is A Town Full Of AMC Theaters, Every One Would Get Every Movie That Came Out, Every One Would Have Every Format, And Every Movie Is Free, That Is My Ticket To Paradise.
Stay out of my mind, you!! Lol!! That ticket has already been claimed – BY ME!!!
Darnit.
Yup! You are gonna have to come up with another ticket to paradise my good friend unless you hitch a ride with me! And before you ask – damn right you can!
I wanna see this! I love, LOVE Julia Roberts! I love Billie Lourd, too! (Still mind blowing that she’s “princess Leia ‘s daughter) and of course, A GEORGE CLOONEY!!! I Think I’m gonna make my youngest go see with me! HALLOWEEN ENDS first though.
You can seriously watch HALLOWEEN ENDS @ home on Peacock! Do you have that streaming service provider even? Seems like your falling behind on your movie watching there! Yeah, who doesn’t love Ms. Pretty Woman! I first learned of Billie Lourd from the TV Show, Scream Queens which of course was filmed here in Louisiana!
Sounds like something I’ve seen before!!! LOL! But, I think parents gotta let their kids be. I would be mad if my parents flew all the way to Bali to stop me from marrying the love of my life! LOL! Sometimes you gotta learn from your mistakes…
Precisely! That’s EXACTLY what I said in my review. Gede might not have been the love of Lily’s life; or he could be. The point is – its Lily’s choice to make. Great observation QB!
Sweet!!! Can’t wait to see this! Especially the break down you have of some of the characters. I’m sure this will be an enjoyable watch especially exciting that George & Julia are back together on the big screen. Can’t wait!!
Yup! I remember when I first told you about us seeing this one for my Birthday when I thought I was coming to see you in Florida! Ah, memories my Broski! Yea, haven’t seen Julia Roberts on the big screen recently! This was really such an awesome film! Very enjoyable!
Your home is valueble for me. Thanks!?
LOL
Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Sounds like a perfect ticket to paradise!
Thank you for another wonderful post. Where else could anybody get that type of info in such a perfect way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I am on the look out for such information.
I don’t have a clue, but I have always had a way with words!
I enjoy this website cause I found just what I used to be taking a lot of time to look for. You’ve ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye
Well, Lawrence – I did not know that you were on a 4-day search for a website to fulfill your endless search of… someone else’s perspectives on films, I should say. What is it that piques your interest about my site to say that your 4 ay search has now come to a conclusion?
I certainly like your website, but you need to check the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to tell the truth nevertheless I’ll surely come back again!
Thank you for bringing that to my attention about my spelling! I type rather fast – I do go back and proofread, but then I read fast, as well. I aim to be a perfectionist, but perfectionists are slow, vigilant folks so I will slow it down some and pay more close attention so it is easier for my readers. Again thank you for telling me and saying you will be back!
Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?
Nope.
