Everyone’s all-time favourite rom-com actress is making a triumphant return to the genre! Ticket to Paradise is the new Julia Roberts movie we need to tell you all about. And while we wait in giddy anticipation for the release (21st October in theatres), there’s a trailer to watch too.
The cast and plot
Ticket to Paradise sees Julia Roberts reunited with none other than George Clooney. As if the thought of a new Julia Roberts movie wasn’t exciting enough on its own! According to Rolling Stone, Julia and George ‘play a divorced couple who reluctantly agree to join forces as they fly to Bali to stop their head-over-heels daughter from marrying young and making the same mistake they did.’ Of course, the pair are perfectly hilarious.

‘Worst 19 years of my life,’ George’s character says during an exchange in the trailer. ‘We were only married for five,’ replies Julia’s character. ‘I’m including the recovery,’ he fires back.

The film has been directed by Ol Parker (of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel fame). Two-time Golden Globe nominee Kaitlyn Dever plays Julia and George’s daughter. The film also features Billie Lourd (Booksmart, American Horror Story and Scream Queens) as well as Lucas Bravo who you’ll remember as the gorgeous chef from Emily in Paris.
Top tip: Lucas Bravo also appears in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris which hits theatres later this month!
The trailer
With a cast of gold and a director we already love, could the new Julia Roberts movie mark the return of the classic rom-com? Fingers crossed! And in the meantime, we can just watch the trailer over and over again.
