Ticket to Paradise, a romantic comedy, was just plain fun! George Clooney (David Cotton) and Julia Roberts (Georgia), a long divorced couple and parents of Lily Cotton were forced into an untenable situation. Untenable because they did not like each other. Two childish adults, they constantly sniped at each other. Together they had to behave themselves at their daughter’s graduation from law school. Their daughter Lily (played by Kaitlyn Dever) was prepared for them to destroy her special day, but seated them together anyway in the auditorium. She was backed up by Wren (played by Billie Lourd) who really was just glad to be finished with law school so she could have some fun.
But that wasn’t all. Lily and Wren were off to Bali for a well deserved vacation. Her parents thought they were done with each other and went back to their busy business lives. At last!!!
Then the email came. Lily had fallen in love with a handsome and charming islander (Gede played by Lucas Bravo), he with her and everyone’s life changed. Marriage!! Clooney and Roberts were thrown together again. On the airplane to Bali and again at the upcoming nuptials. Did I mention Gede had a very large family on this idyllic island? His father, a seaweed farmer, was from generations of seaweed farmers.
A traditional Bali wedding, ‘lost' wedding rings, language barriers, Georgia’s handsome airline pilot boyfriend (many years younger than her), a snake bite on a cursed island and swimming with dolphins….. Everyone did live happily ever after but not until all that and more was sorted out.

except let them be exactly who they are,”
