Commenting on being paired with Clooney once again after many years, Julia said in a statement, “George and I have always had good chemistry as friends. We approach our work in similar ways as well. I think we also get a lot of joy out of making each other laugh. We both take an immense amount of care in creating an environment where people feel creative and happy at work. It brings out the best in everyone (sic).”

Ticket to Paradise is the story of a divorced couple, Georgia (Julia) and David (George), who team up and travel to Bali to stop their daughter from making the same mistake they think they made 25 years ago.

On the topic of the film, George said in a statement, “Julia and I weren't actively looking for a project to do together, but, of course, it was easy to say yes to a chance to work on another project with her. Ol Parker (Director) sent the script to both of us at the same time and said that he had written the parts for Julia and me. So, right after I read it, I called Julia and told her, ‘I'll do it if you do it,’ and she said, ‘Well, I'll do it if you will.’ And not long after that, we were heading to Australia (sic).”
