Georgia and David are a long time divorced couple who must team up and travel to Bali to stop their daughter Lily making a mistake by marrying a man she has just met!
⭐️⭐️⭐️
We see the build up to Lily’s graduation to which she has become a lawyer and will start at a top law firm in Chicago in a couple of months. After she heads on a trip with her college friend Wren, they go to Bali and it doesn’t take too long before Lily meets Gede and they fall in love.
Slowly we find out the story between Georgia and David and how they met in college, fell in love and decided to get married which meant that Georgia gave up on her dream of moving to LA to pursue her career in art. Although she does eventually get there and in the five years they were married had Lily and they both do really care about their daughter.
On receiving an email from Lily that she is going to get married they must head to Bali and convince her to actually think about the commitment she is about to make. Georgia sees it as the biggest mistake of her life and does not want her daughter to do the same. As much as that is quite frankly really awful towards David! Everything they attempt to do to either stop the marriage or at the very least delay it does not really work for very long. Then throw in pilot Paul who Georgia had been dating and you have a really mixed selection of people for different scenes.
The mixing of different cultures also takes on some good moments to really highlight just how different countries, religions and people do things and how marriage and the ceremony is so different as well.
The thing is though I was super excited about this film to see Julia Roberts and George Clooney on screen together and quite frankly could have totally just had a film with them and not bothered with the daughter plot line! I am sure it could have been engaging enough. Also the second Roberts film that will totally make you want to visit Bali as I do even more after this film and it did make me think about Eat, Pray, Love!
Julia Roberts has become somewhat timeless for me and I still love her as much as ever, it was so great to see her back in this type of film and confirms that she still has a lot to offer. I guess the same can also be said for George Clooney as we really do not get him in many films these days and he is ageing very nicely as well I must add. Kaitlyn Dever is a great talent though and I am enjoying seeing her career progress with many different roles, the same can also be said for Billie Lourd.
Let's Go To The Movies 
Be aware that the movie was actually filmed in Whitsunday Island in Queensland – not Bali. But I think there are some matte effects also used that do show Bali.
