What critics say influenced Ticket to Paradise
Taking a basic cue from the “Philadelphia Story” school of comedies about divorced couples giving it another shot, director Ol Parker (“Mamma Mia!
The Hollywood superstar duo have reunited onscreen for the first time since 2016's Money Monster , and brought back their swift Ocean’s 11 banter for Ticket to Paradise , the latest wedding-based destination rom-com from the director of Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again , Ol Parker.
Pero el ingenio y la pericia Parker parece haberse dispersado desde ese debut, y en su posterior filmografía asoma apenas con glamour la secuela de Mamma mía! –con menos Meryl Streep y más Lily James-, sostenida en una excusión a tierras pintorescas, los conflictos generacionales entre padres e hijos, y por supuesto el fondo del cancionero de ABBA que todavía quedaba invicto.
Romantic comedies have never gone away, but mainstream examples with A-list stars have been pretty thin on the ground since the glory days of the ’90s and early 2000s, when “Pretty Woman,” “Notting Hill,” “Love Actually” and “Bridget Jones’s Diary” ruled at the box office.
Characters find themselves out of their depth in a beautiful part of the world, navigating new family members, getting acquainted with cultural differences and customs, and building up to the film’s natural finale: the big wedding — think Crazy Rich Asians in Singapore , the fictional Greek island of Kalokairi in Mamma Mia! , Kakadu and the Tiwi Islands in Top End Wedding, and Pam and Greg’s Owen Wilson-pan-pipe-scored Miami wedding in Meet the Fockers .
