If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
After their team up in the 1992 sports romantic comedy The Cutting Edge,the reunion between D.B.Sweeney and Moira Kelly finally happened after 14 years in this movie entitled,"Two Tickets To Paradise". The story revolves around three life-long friends in their 40's that are in search for themselves as they face problems of their own.Mark has developed a serious gambling problem that is beginning to affect his marriage.McGriff cannot let go of his dream of becoming a famous rock star despite having a supportive and beautiful but unfaithful spouse.Finally,Jason refuse to mature and still lives with his parents.This made them go to a trip together and try in search for life answers that will help them find answers in life.This film written and directed by D.B. Sweeney was basically satisfactory movie that had great moments but never got into a satisfying whole.Too bad that D.B. Sweeney's reunion with Moira Kelly did not result into a good film similar to The Cutting Edge.They barely had scenes together and Moira was barely a presence.Nevertheless,it will still manage to provide good entertainment especially to those who love coming of age films.Added to that,it will be appreciated by those who are experiencing difficulties and want to see a movie that will give them hope amidst life's difficulties.
If you're looking for big budget Hollywood, this movie's not for you. If you're looking for angst ridden sad ending for the sake of sad ending - ditto. However, if you want something that's fun, endearing, a little off kilter and ultimately redemptive - you've found he right movie. I enjoyed the lack of formula and some strong emotional performances, inserted artfully in this potentially formulaic "on the road" genre. I enjoyed it because when you watched, it really wasn't formulaic at all, and Two Tix was surprisingly poignant delivering the (non- preachy but clear) messages on friendship, and manhood, marriage and family. Kudos to DB, and though we didn't see a whole lot of her or like her a lot in this film, Moira still has it.
What a terrific movie! The music was great, as was the acting. I just wanted to be in this movie!!! Loved to see the Cutting Edge couple back together again!!! Hope to see more from this filmmaker. Loved seeing Vanna White's house burn down. How did you make Ed Harris's arm appear? Was that Chris Chelios in the bar scene? He seemed so natural getting into a bar fight. Didn't know he was an actor... How do we buy a copy of this movie? Is it available for sale on any website? I have a number of friends that would love to see this movie! Hopefully someone will post the information as to where it can be purchased. I'd probably buy three copies right away... I'm sure other people would as well.
After meeting DB during the Santa Fe Film Festival I wanted to check out his movie. I had already planned to go to the film but a few changes happened at the first showing. I promised him I would definitely go to the 2nd and I am glad I did. It had great humor, and a heart. It took me back to the times I spend with my childhood friends which have been friends for over 30 years. The trials we had through the years keeping our friendships together and how we made it through the roughest spots and remained friends. I thank you "DB" for making this film and your kindness in talking to me at the Santa Fe Film Festival. I am looking forward to your next project. Please contact me when you release this film I would like to purchase a copy for my friends in Oklahoma. Continued success in your career and life. The film also included great cinema photography, great acting, and surprises which I will not tell here you will have to see it when it comes to your town :) Thank you for the opportunity to see this great film.
