This is a gem of a film, directed and written with heart and truth, at times it brought tears to my eyes, and in the next scene, made me laugh, as I have done much the same as the characters so deftly drawn by D.B. Sweeney. Anytime, an actor can take both sides of the camera, and craft a film so entertaining and rich, this is a film and director to be noted.
Though the film concentrates on the three buddie's embraked on a life changing road trip, it is also noteworthy for the fact, that finally a director has given the veteran actor John McGinley the starring role he has so richly deserved after many many films. John's performance is bravura, going from alpha male bravado to being absolutely cratered as he realizes what is important in life, which is this: the friends we keep are the "family" we lean on. That is a universal theme that bears truth. Five Stars, you won't be disappointed.

Not only is DB Sweeney a Great Actor, Great American (he sent me coffee while I was in Iraq), OK guitar player, but he has done an awesome job directing this one. I want to thank him for coming to Iraq to show us this movie. I pre-ordered it from Amazon, received it on July 22nd here in Iraq and have watched it three times already. I have caught something new each time I watched it. We were laughing through some of the parts I missed the first time, then I watched it with headphones the second time.
It has a true story line, not a Hollywood story line and great music (well except when he butchered Blue Collar Man, a Styx song).
I highly recommend this movie, it will be one I watch again and again.

I watched this movie in Kuwait with D. B. Sweeney. It was a very funny and touching movie. It hits home the feelings a lot of older men have, how things didn't work out like we thought they would when we were in High School. Some drug use, a lot of alcohol, a real nice car and a real nice bike. Did I mention the stripper? Anyway, I really enjoyed this movie and was glad that D.B. brought it to us in Kuwait.

I saw "Two Tickets to Paradise" at a film festival in Hawaii - and I thought it was the best feature movie of the entire festival. It's a great story about the friendship of high school superstars coping with less than spectacular middle age lives. This movie makes you laugh so hard, you leave the theatre felling good and haunted with memories that make you smile for weeks to come. If there is a moral to this movie, it is the value of friendship throughout life. See it and feel good all over.

Two Tickets to Paradise follows three long time friends who embark on a road trip. Stuck in their boring routine and wondering if this is as good as it gets, a sudden unplanned road trip is exactly what these friends need to escape the problems of their life. Character flaws and bad habits are exposed that test the limits of dedication. I thoroughly enjoyed the adventures that these friends endured. Heartfelt drama and timely comedy make this film a fun ride.

Who doesn't love a good comedy?

Two Tickets to Paradise is "man humor" at it's finest!

D.B. Sweeney has proven to be a multi-talent with the writing, directing, producing and a fine comedic performance in Two Tickets to Paradise.

2 thumbs up...just what the doctor ordered to tickle your funny bone.

Two ticket's to Paradise was more like three ticket's cause I was loving this Film.... NO WONDER It won so many Film Festival Awards. D.B.Sweeney is
a fantastic actor/director.

Saw it in New York City.

Great stuff. Anyone who has good friends will recognize the hilarity only friends can produce. I was laughing so hard at a few parts, I missed the next 10 seconds of action.

Also a great movie on regular guys growing up a little late. Anyone will be able to relate.

Definetley worth a watch (with friends, even better).

DISAPPOINTED WITH MOVIE. GOT IT BECAUSE D.B SWEENEY AND MORIA KELLY WERE IN IT. BUT KELLY IS IN ABOUT THREE SCENES AND HARDLY SAYS ANYTHING.

The movie is fun about life time friends and working through issues and how everyone has there up and downs. Nice to know your true friends will stick with ya and how sometimes its hard to listen to them! Funny scenes of how they deal with there friendships. Loved it..its keeper if you have it on DVD.
