Heaven is a place where George Clooney digs middle-aged women. On an idyllic island, where a loved-up young couple are about to wed, David (61 year-old Clooney), tells ex-wife, Georgia (54 year-old Julia Roberts), “you’re in your prime”. This preposterously fluffy rom-com recycles huge chunks of Mamma Mia! It may not have the Abba songs, but it’s full of lines that will be music to the ears of a certain demographic. It also makes effective use of dolphins, prophylactics and the f-word. If you’re in the mood for a great escape, you’ve basically just won the lottery.
Grumpy David and clenched Georgia (both rich and competitive) divorced years ago and are sworn enemies. But the pair gain a common goal when their beloved daughter, Lily (Kaitlyn Dever), goes to Bali and decides to ditch her promising legal career so she can marry local seaweed farmer Gede (Maxime Bouttier). David is single; Georgia has an over-attentive (if gorgeous and much younger) French boyfriend, airline pilot Paul (Emily in Paris hottie, Lucas Bravo). While conniving to sabotage Lily and Gede’s wedding, might David and Georgia fall back in love?
