George Clooney and Julia Roberts have always seemed like a beautiful pair for me.
My favourite Hollywood pair remains Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, I fell in love with the pair in the movie The Wedding Singer and then in 50 First Dates and then in Blended but I really loved and enjoyed the humour and chemistry between Clooney and Roberts in Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve.
As a movie lover, and especially a lover of period dramas, romcoms and the likes, one thing that draws me to a movie is the pairing of the hero and heroine.
Only a few days ago, I came across another poster with the names Clooney and Roberts smiling back at me. I didn’t hesitate to click on it.
I must admit that the movie didn’t stand out as much as I expected it to but I totally connected with the emotions and unspoken thoughts Clooney kept sending out in the movie. He played a divorced dad who had to work hand in hand with his ex-wife (Roberts) to prevent their daughter from getting married to a Bali local.
The pair who never seem to see eye to eye on any matter must learn to work together on this one thing they both agree on. Clooney’s character calls out to me as he seems to be a person who is in touch with his feelings and is also honest with himself as well.
Overall, this new movie ‘Ticket to Paradise’ is okay and can be viewed on a calm evening with friends or alone.
A few other pairs that drew me into a movie are:
- Julia Roberts and Richards Gere – Pretty woman
- Gabrielle Union and Morris Chestnut – The Brothers
- Issa Rae and Lakeith Stanfield – The Photograph
Some pairs didn’t sit well with me are:
- Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds – The Proposal
- Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry – Fools rush in
One on-screen pair I still can’t place in my head but totally love is the Renee Zellwerger and Collin Firth from Bridget Jones Diary, maybe the mix with Hugh Grant and then Patrick Dempsey just made my head spin.
Have you any on-screen pairs you love? Share them with me, I would love to know.
