Julia Roberts is in the Netflix news with a film released in 2022 where she stars opposite her accomplice George Clooney.
A ticket to paradise. This is what this romantic comedy, released in 2022, promises us, which is already one of the most viewed films on the platform currently, a few days after its arrival. Ticket to Paradise holds second place in the top, just behind the popular Cercle des neiges.
It must be said that the film is carried by two major American stars: Julia Roberts and George Clooney. They play here: an estranged couple is reunited to try to prevent their daughter from making the same mistake they once made: giving in to love at first sight. The two friends have known each other for a long time, they even acted together in four feature films before that (including Ocean’s Eleven and Twelve). Ticket to Paradise, which was not a huge success in theaters, was even written for them. Originally, the two characters were originally called “Julius and Georgia”…
This series is a hit on the platform and yet it is Julia Roberts who was to play the main role
And one thing is certain: this duo works wonderfully. Despite an average rating of 2.7/5, spectators highlighted the chemistry between Roberts and Clooney, which compensates for the weakness of the script:
“The duo who have known each other for a long time work wonderfully” (Gandalf76),
“Obviously George Clooney and Julia Roberts are great.” (Hawaii73)
“Their obvious complicity (the end credits blooper reel confirms it), their facial expressions, their common charm which remains intact despite the years, their knowledge of the genre which allows them to offer a little more despite the weakness of the writing of their characters” (RedArrow)
“The two stars are in full osmosis, the understanding is obvious, the sparks are in tune and serve wonderfully their squabble which plays precisely on the option “who loves punishes well” (Selenie)
“Having George Clooney and Julia Roberts in the cast is an undeniable argument to make you want to see a romantic comedy. The two long-time friends have already proven that they can have fun together.” (Should I see it?)
After The World After Us which does not want to give up its place in the top 10 and which is about to join the list of the most viewed films of all time on Netflix, Julia Roberts’ Ticket to Paradise could well be just as successful in France.
