When the Julia Roberts and George Clooney-starring “Ticket to Paradise” opens in theaters later this year, it will mark Roberts’ first time leading a romantic comedy in just over …
in just over 20 years. The genre made Roberts a global superstar in the 1990s, from her Oscar-nominated performance in “Pretty Women” to rom-com classics “My Best Friend’s Wedding” and “Notting Hill,” among others. One would have to go all the way back to 2001’s “American Sweethearts” for the last traditional rom-com led by Roberts ., she was never purposefully avoiding the genre that made her a superstar. Quite the contrary.
The Ol Parker film is “Ticket to Paradise,” which pairs Roberts opposite longtime friend and collaborator Clooney. The film almost became yet another one of Roberts’ rejected rom-coms because she thought it would only work well with Clooney starring opposite her. This was before Clooney came on board.
“Here’s the thing: If I’d thought something was good enough, I would have done it,” Roberts said. “But I also had three kids in the last 18 years. That raises the bar even more because then it’s not only ‘Is this material good?’ It’s also the math equation of my husband’s work schedule and the kids’ school schedule and summer vacation. It’s not just, ‘Oh, I think I want to do this.’ I have a sense of great pride in being home with my family and considering myself a homemaker.
