I absolutely loved this movie

Love Julia Roberts and George Clooney, thought it was funny.

Absolutely loved it

Just loved this move. The very thing to lighten up what is a somewhat sad and dismal world. Will watch it again

David (George Clooney) and Georgia (Julia Roberts) are a divorced couple, and after many years have passed, they still can’t stand to be in each other’s presence without starting an arugement or rehashing their past as a married couple. The one thing that forces them to see each other is their only daughter, Lily (Kaitlyn Dever). When Lily graduates, both David and Georgia are forced to sit next to each other, and even then, they try to play nice for the sake of their daughter, but it never seems to end peacefully. Once Lily graduates, she spends her holiday with her best friend and travels to Bali. However, while Lily stays in Bali, she meets the man of her dreams named Gede (Maxime Bouttier), and soon, Lily gets proposed to. When David and Georgia hear this news, they are outraged, claiming that their daughter is about to make a huge mistake as they both did. David and Georgia are on a mission to travel to Bali and talk some sense into their daughter. Like a Trojan Horse, they will stop at nothing, even sabotaging the wedding! Will the pair be able to stop Lilly from making a mistake like they once did, or will David and Georgia rediscover the romance and true happiness? As you may expect, this is a fun rom-com filled with many gags and moments that come across as charming. The film’s biggest praise is the performances of George Clooney and Julia Roberts. The pair once again share a great dynamic and screen presence. The dialogue they share is always witty and fast-paced, just as if they always seem frustrated. Actor George Clooney shines a little brighter for me throughout the film as his character tackles more heartfelt moments. Not only does he have to deal with his monstrous ex-wife, but he is dealing with saying goodbye to his little girl. George Clooney manages to pull out the laughs with his snappy one-liners and even his facial reactions, including being dumbfounded or annoying. His character put a grin on my face. The location is amazing. While the film is set in Bali, I’m proud to say this film was made in my home state of Queensland, Australia. While I’m not normally biased about this kind of detail, I can’t deny how stunning and amazing this film looks. Stunning beaches and locations look incredible on screen, and I’m proud to see how successful they were at making the location look like Bali. The same could be said about the background cast, who are also fitting. Overall, with a familiar concept, I’m excited to say how much I still loved this 90s-feeling rom-com. What makes this film cute are the leads played by George Clooney and Julia Roberts, who once again bring a fun and likeable presence to the screen. Visually, this film is incredible as we witness Queensland, Australia, transformed into Bali, all of which is extremely convincing. Sure, there are some cliché aspects to this film, such as silly side characters who are given far too much screen time for laughs, but I thoroughly admired the heart of this film, and it most certainly exceeded my original expectations going into it. * This review has been written for Sanity.
