Ticket to Paradise (2022)

Pitiful Movie

[1/10 · 1 February 2023]

Julia Roberts looks horrible in this film. The barbs Julia & George throw at each other the entire film, gets really old fast. Her wardrobe was extremely unflattering, and blah. Story line was boring. Glad I saw it on Paramount and not at the theaters. Would not recommend wasting your time watching it.

The scenery is beautiful, filmed in Queensland not Bali. Such gorgeous turquoise water! The scenery however, does not make-up for this boring movie. I had high hopes, but the movie didn't produce. One of the only movies starring Julia or George that I found to be pathetic . . it definitely wasn't what I expected from these actors.

True Story

[9/10 · 23 August 2022]

I was a flight attendant, working for Braniff, in the late 1970's. We'd just had a layover in London, and were getting the 747 ready to depart, heading back to Dallas. We were late leaving, so I walked up front to ask the other flight attendants about the delay. I was told we were waiting for some passengers from another flight. About that time, a group of men boarded the plane and sat in First Class. They were disgusting looking men . . filthy, hadn't bathed or showered for days, and they stunk to high heavens. What was weird though, is that several of them were carrying briefcases that were handcuffed to their wrists. All I thought was, glad I'm working the coach cabin. God those guys stunk!

We land in Dallas, those men are the first off the aircraft, but didn't walk down the jetway, into the airport, and proceed to customs. As soon as they stepped foot into the jetway, the open the door to the stairs, and got into a limo that was waiting on them. I thought nothing more of it . . I was tired after the 8 hour flight.

Went home, turned on the tv, and I'll be, all over the news were those men on the airplane, who Ross Perot had hired to rescue his EDS Employees, who were taken as hostages in the Iranian Revolution and held in a prison in Tehran!! Those briefcases handcuffed to their wrists were full of cash, to cross borders and get the hostages out safely.

The mercenaries had made it all the way to the Atlantic, boarded their chartered plane to come home, when the plane had a mechanical problem and had to return to the airport. So the backup plan was to hop on the Braniff flight, that I was working. I had no idea who Ross Perot was, or those men. But what an impact that rescue had on my life. I'll never forget it.

The Flight Attendant (2020–2022)

Pathetic Typecast

[1/10 · 5 March 2021]

As a former FA for over 40 years I can say, without hesitation, the behavior the flight attendant exhibits is no longer tolerated. Between the drug/alcohol testing, she'd be gone . . and her co-workers would have reported her and gotten her help through the union in rehab facility. And I won't even begin to think STDs, etc. I know it's fiction, but at least make it realistic. Pretty poor story line, boring, and a waste of time.
