Two Tickets to Paradise (2006)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I loved this movie. The failures of my life have never been so humorously captured in a comedy before, and it made me feel good to be an under-accomplished average guy about to turn 40. They really nailed it! Very entertaining. Somehow, they stayed on the brink of suicide together for most of the movie, which isn't quite where I'm at, but that added a wonderful abstract to the whole theme of "we're not making it, so lets end it" that they came out of of course by the end of the movie. The humor was quirky and subtle rather than hit you in the face bathroom comedy, and the perspective was almost cutting. All in all, a great movie with a huge list of great actors, and even some cool special effects. I really enjoyed it.

Two Tickets To Paradise is a great movie. I encourage everyone to see it. It is as well acted as it was written and directed. This movie is very character driven and is full of heart. DB Sweeney did an excellent job co-writing and directing as well as acting in this film. John C. McGinley was great as well as a great performance by Paul Hipp. Ed Harris even has a great scene in this movie. I watched this movie one December morning on Showtime. I found it completely by chance, but I am so glad my TV was set to Showtime when I turned it on. The movie was in the beginning and I ended up watching the entire thing. I walked away from watching this movie thinking I had found a hidden gem. It has a great mix of comedy and trying to find yourself. There are so many one liners in this film that remind of conversations I had with my own friends; which is probably why the characters feel so real. The soundtrack is pretty awesome too. Each song seems perfect for each scene it's in. This movie has everything to make it a great movie: good writing, great acting, humor, the great American road trip, a coming of age story, great music...it has everything. I encourage everyone to see Two Tickets To Paradise.

Loved this movie! I felt like I knew these guys from my hometown. Great music: Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Dire Straits, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Emmy Lou Harris...amazing movie. As a woman (Mom of four...)I felt like a 'fly on the wall' in the car with these guys. You really feel like you're a witness to a critical moment in three real lives. With that said, it's also hilarious. Some really memorable one-liners. D.B. Sweeney is an under rated actor: movies like Fire in the Sky, Eight Men Out, Lonesome Dove and of course The Cutting Edge. This may be his best ever. Why doesn't Hollywood use this guy more?! I hope they release this one soon soon. Really funny and touching, too. I want to see it again!!

After meeting DB during the Santa Fe Film Festival I wanted to check out his movie. I had already planned to go to the film but a few changes happened at the first showing. I promised him I would definitely go to the 2nd and I am glad I did. It had great humor, and a heart. It took me back to the times I spend with my childhood friends which have been friends for over 30 years. The trials we had through the years keeping our friendships together and how we made it through the roughest spots and remained friends. I thank you "DB" for making this film and your kindness in talking to me at the Santa Fe Film Festival. I am looking forward to your next project. Please contact me when you release this film I would like to purchase a copy for my friends in Oklahoma. Continued success in your career and life. The film also included great cinema photography, great acting, and surprises which I will not tell here you will have to see it when it comes to your town :) Thank you for the opportunity to see this great film.
