Mar. 15, 2025

Julia Roberts and George Clooney play exes putting their differences aside for a common goal in their new comedy.

The Oscar winners star in the first trailer forTicket to Paradise, playing a divorced couple who make a “truce” in order to stop their daughter (Kaitlyn Dever) from marrying a man she just met.

“Out daughter’s gonna marry a guy she just met, millions of miles from home. She’s throwing her career away,” Clooney’s character tells a stranger seated between him and his ex (Roberts) on a flight. Roberts' character then says, “Just like her mother did, so I’m the only one who can stop her. She doesn’t listen to him.”

“This guy named Ol Parker is a really wonderful writer and director, and he wrote us a script, and I haven’t done a romantic comedy really since [1996’s]One Fine Day, and more than that. I’ve done some sort of snarky ones, you know, and in this one Julia and I just get to be mean to each other in the funniest way,” said Clooney at the time.

“The minute I read it I called Julia, and I said, ‘Did you get this?’ and she said, ‘Yeah,’ and I said ‘Are you going to do it?’ and she goes ‘Are you going to do it? and I said, ‘Yeah, if you do it,’ " he added. “So it was just one of those very lucky things.”
