I have started #TicketToParadise and already am annoyed by grown rich adults who can’t be civil to each other for their child’s sake for a day.

I love that the movie knows the Americans are asshats. That idiot friend who introduces the Balinese man along with his tattoos as if he’s a museum piece and announces she’s going to sleep with him, not knowing he has a pregnant wife.

Her American colonial tourist fantasies assume that she is irresistible and that these men exist for a fun story when she goes home. She looks stupid. I love it.

Also Clooney’s character condescending to the fiancé that he’s a curiosity before his daughter goes back to her real life is…eww.

Wait did Julia Roberts burn their house down?

So she stole the rings and made the little girl look bad? Use your damn words.

I will say that I agree with Clooney that the dolphins are working with the sharks. A friend once ran into the ocean to see a manatee and I told her that manatee was a shark in a costume and he wasn’t gonna get me like that.

At least this wasn’t made in the 80s. The Balinese people would be wild stereotypes. And if it was made 20 years ago the father of the groom would be played by Rob Schneider.

I’m Team Lily but my old lady pettiness finds it delightful that she’s embarrassed by her parents dancing. Suffer, child.

Old people - we can’t party like that no more. It’s not 1992. All the people we see in reunion tours were just starting their first album then.

The boyfriend is too good for these people.

Of course they are projecting trying to save their daughter from their own mistakes which is not their job.

It was an ok movie. The parents sucked. I liked the daughter and her guy. Her friend was terrible. The place was gorgeous.
