Allow me to get out of the rom-com obsessive business if you will: I actually Julia Roberts isn’t a big fan of the lead role in the romantic comedy. I know, I know – it’s heresy – but I prefer Julia in her Ocean Eleven sharpening, sharp and serious. It didn’t do me any favors when she tried to be gracious and gracious in Runaway Bride . That said, I’m not made of stone; when I heard that Roberts and George Clooney would be reuniting Tickets to Heaven
The identities of the aggrieved exes showed up to jointly prevent their daughter’s wedding, and I immediately planned to see it.
