Ticket to Paradise, Universal Pictures' much-anticipated romantic comedy, is finally available to stream. It was written and directed by Ol Parker, who is no stranger to the genre with his previous directorial credits in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and Imagine Me & You.
A genre that misses its classics can always benefit from the industry's heavyweights hitting the screen, and when it comes to leading roles, it can’t get much bigger than George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
On one hand, Roberts holds an Oscar, a BAFTA award, and three Golden Globes. She’s undoubtedly part of the rom-com royalty, having starred in some of the most acclaimed films of the genre with Pretty Woman and Notting Hill, among many others. Clooney, on the other, is a four-time Golden Globe, two-time Oscar, and one-time BAFTA winner. While he’s not afraid to take on projects such as The Thin Red Line or Gravity, he has also shown a more light-hearted side in rom-coms including One Fine Day and Intolerable Cruelty.
Not only does Ticket to Paradise star two of the most renowned names in Hollywood, but they also serve as executive producers. And in addition to their outstanding individual talent, both Roberts and Clooney have already proven their on-screen chemistry as they’ve worked together on films like Money Monster and Ocean's Eleven, just to name a few. The cast is rounded out by rising talents Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart) and Maxime Bouttier (Meet Me After Sunset), plus Lucas Bravo (Emily in Paris) and Billie Lourd (American Horror Story) in smaller roles.
Here we share further details regarding what the film is about, when and where to watch it, and some other love stories to binge if you loved Ticket to Paradise.

Now divorced, the future bride’s parents believe their daughter is making a big mistake -- just like they did back in the day -- and travel each on their own to try to stop her, initially unaware that they both have the same plan.
They may not stand each other at the beginning, but perhaps a common goal will water down the long-standing feud and bring them together in an unexpected way.
