The duo play David and Georgia, who put their
differences aside and join forces to stop their daughter Lily
from marrying someone she has recently met on a graduation trip
to Bali.
Not wanting her to make the same mistake they believe they made
25 years earlier, they travel to the island to disrupt the
nuptials.
Directed by Ol Parker, the film is the fifth Roberts and Clooney
have starred in together.
"It was fun... We enjoyed it because we got to be snarky with
each other. We thought that was funny," Clooney told reporters
at the movie's world premiere in London on Wednesday.
"We also thought it was kind of a nice time to do something
light, (we've) kind of all been through it a little bit, all of
us together as a human race, and so we thought it'd be fun."
Roberts is known for a string of romantic comedies in 1980s and
1990s, from "Pretty Woman" to "Notting Hill", while Clooney's
last romantic comedy was "One Fine Day" in 1996.
“It's nerve wracking at first when you hear their names,"
Kaitlyn Dever, who plays Lily, said on having the two Hollywood
stars play her parents.
"And then when you meet them, all of that kind of nervousness
goes away and then you're able to see them just as people."
Set among lush scenery, the film plenty of scenes in which David
and Georgia exchange snide comments before slowly starting to
tolerate each other again. One scene shows the two drunkenly
dancing in a club much to the embarrassment of their daughter.
"Ol was just like, do what you want, don't hurt each other and
stay in the room,” Roberts said. “No one can get hurt," added
Clooney. "Just your eyes."
"Ticket to Paradise", which also stars Billie Lourd, Maxime
Bouttier and Lucas Bravo, begins its global cinema roll-out on
Sept. 12.
