![]() Ol Parker co-wrote the script and will direct the film, set to be released on September 30th, 2022. The movie reunites Kaitlyn and Billie, who you may remember were in Booksmart together, and it also reunites longtime friends George and Julia, who starred in the Ocean's franchise, as well as Money Monster. While not much was revealed about Kaitlyn's role, she did share a tiny (major) detail about her character on Instagram. The comedy centers on "exes who find themselves on a shared mission to stop their lovestruck daughter from making the same mistake they once made." The 24-year-old actress has joined the cast of the film, which also includes Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Billie Lourd, Deadline reveals. Prepare to laugh out loud.Kaitlyn Dever is set to star in the upcoming new movie Ticket To Paradise! In one scene, after Clooney and Roberts outlast the youngsters in a drinking game, they celebrate on the dance floor. Heidi realizes theres a whole other story behind the one shes been telling herself. Years later she has started a new life, when the Department of Defense questions why she left Homecoming. It’s not easy assembling a multigenerational score, but music director Rodney Berling ( Batman, 2005) achieves this. Heidi (Julia Roberts) works at Homecoming, a facility helping soldiers transition to civilian life. But similarly, the star power and upbeat spirit of the story draw us in. The script seems clumsy at times, and the dialogue a tad forced, not unlike his previous work. The film was directed and co-written by Ol Parker, known for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011). The camera loves Bouttier, and he visually steals whatever scene he is in. Lily and Gede decide to marry after knowing each other for only a month, but their relationship seems sincere and strong, playing well against the antics of Clooney and Roberts. Gede, the Balinese seaweed farmer, is played by Indonesian actor Maxie Bouttier. Kaitlyn Dever ( Booksmart, 2019) plays their daughter Lily, and her performance is sincere and believable. They routinely sparred though bedlam and trickery toward happy endings with effortless grace. When Kathrine Hepburn and Cary Grant played opposite each other, there was often a joyful “anything can happen” tone that superseded the story. Their performance is reminiscent of the great comedies of the late ’30s and ’40s. The premise of the film that Clooney and Roberts despise each other is a hard sell, given their chemistry. Her string of winning knockout rom-coms early in her career, including Mystic Pizza (1988), Pretty Woman (1990), My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997), Notting Hill (1999) and Runaway Bride (1999) speaks for itself. They never once convince us they are enemies. If you saw or read any of the prerelease interviews, you already know Clooney and Roberts resort to their familiar bickering, a la Ocean’s Eleven. Maybe they gave a little too much away on the morning shows. Offscreen, they are close friends who are having way too much fun bickering and trying to convince us of their insane scheme to disrupt their daughter’s seemingly impulsive marriage to a beautiful Balinese seaweed harvester. ![]() To fully enjoy this film, though, you must first suspend disbelief in the premise that David (Clooney) and Georgia (Roberts) are divorcees who despise each other. Much of its success rests on Roberts’ and Clooney’s on- and offscreen personae. ![]() ![]() If not fantastic, the film is lighthearted and fun. The audience rating, per Fandango, is an impressive 88%. So far, box office trends remain steady, with $20.6 million in domestic receipts and $81.9 million internationally. Clooney and Roberts are also executive producers of the film. It had secured around $55 million in international sales before it was even released in the U.S. Ticket to Paradise is a throwback to simpler times, which may account for its box office appeal. The film cost about $60 million to make, which is showy for a rom-com, and risky given the modern moviegoer’s preference for the cinema-tech marvels of the day. Ticket to Paradise had its world premiere in Barcelona on Sept. The five films on which the megastars have collaborated ( Ocean’s Eleven, 2001 Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, 2003 Ocean’s Twelve, 2004 Money Monster, 2017) and Ticket to Paradise) have so far grossed over $1 billion at the global box office. ![]()
