A long-divorced pair reluctantly reunite for one shared goal: talking their daughter out of a wedding they're convinced she'll regret.
What is Ticket to Paradise about?
Julia Roberts and George Clooney play the exes, who set aside decades of mutual irritation to fly to Bali after their daughter, played by Kaitlyn Dever, announces she's marrying a man she met on vacation. Convinced she's repeating the choice they made twenty-five years earlier, the pair puts their squabbling aside just long enough to team up, only to find that spending time together again stirs up old habits and old feelings. Maxime Bouttier plays the fiancé caught in the middle, while Billie Lourd and Lucas Bravo round out the group along for the trip. Directed by Ol Parker, the film leans into scenic Bali locations and a light comic tone, treating the parents' scheme as an excuse to revisit their own history rather than a straightforward sabotage plot. The 104-minute runtime keeps the pace brisk, moving between beach set pieces and the bickering that defines the central pair's rekindled dynamic.
About the cast
Julia Roberts and George Clooney anchor the film as the divorced parents, with Kaitlyn Dever as their daughter and Maxime Bouttier as her fiancé; Billie Lourd, Lucas Bravo, Geneviève Lemon, and Cintya Dharmayanti fill out the supporting cast across the film's Australian, British, and American production.
Context & significance
Released in 2022, the film pairs two of the most recognizable names in romantic comedy for the first time in years, trading on the chemistry the genre depends on. Shot largely on location, it belongs to a run of destination comedies built around a wedding-adjacent premise, using the setting as much as the plot to sell the escapist appeal.
