George Clooney and Julia Roberts reunite in Ticket to Paradise

Just over two decades ago, George Clooney and Julia Roberts co-starred in the remake of Ocean’s Eleven as a divorced couple who ultimately found their way back to each other. They reunited in two sequels, and they’re about to come back together again in the upcoming romantic comedy, Ticket to Paradise. As you can see in the first trailer below, Clooney and Roberts’ characters despise each other in this film. They consider their marriage to be the worst mistake of their lives. And yet they have some unexpected common ground: They want to disrupt the wedding of their daughter, Lily (Kaitlyn Dever).

For context, Lily and her friend, Wren Butler (Billie Lourd) went on vacation to a tropical paradise where Lily met a guy and suddenly decided to get married. Lily’s parents are so incensed by this turn of events that they call a truce in order to break up their daughter’s new relationship. Along the way, they may rediscover why they fell in love with each other all of those years ago.

Here’s the synopsis courtesy of Working Title Films:

“Academy Award winners George Clooney and Julia Roberts reunite on the big screen as exes who find themselves on a shared mission to stop their lovestruck daughter from making the same mistake they once made. From Working Title, Smokehouse Pictures, and Red Om Films, Ticket to Paradise is a romantic comedy about the sweet surprise of second chances.”

The best movies on Peacock right now (May 2024)

The best analogy for Peacock is that it's more of a rental service than a traditional streamer. Most of the new movies on Peacock only stick around for month, which means you have to make your viewing plans early if you don't want to miss your favorite films before their streaming window closes.

Fortunately, what Peacock's lineup lacks in longevity, it makes up for with a pretty diverse set of movies across all genres. Some of the highlights in May include the original Max Max, which is a good primer for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga later this month. Horror fans can also enjoy The Cabin in the Woods and Get Out, while families and animation lovers can catch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish on May 10.

4 great 1974 movies you need to watch right now

A 50th birthday is a momentous occasion and marks a prodigious milestone -- halfway to a century is nothing to squawk at. It’s only fair that we respect our movies the same way, especially considering film itself is less than 150 years old. We’ve only broken the surface on what the art form can be, and much like a museum patron appreciating Renaissance greats, it’s our job as the viewer to keep the legacy of these movies alive.

Luckily for us, the movies of 1974 are not only great, but often mirror the same thoughts, paranoias, and experiences that we see in our present-day lives. While exaggerated to a point and perfectly placed within their time, here are a few films ranging from true classics to underrated gems that are celebrating the big 5-0 and are just as successful through a modern lens.
