Reviews

leplatypus For a low budget, unknown movie, it is rather a good surprise! It owes a lot to its principal cast, because having the two Andies(Garcia & MacDowell) to play in a romance, you are sure to have a winning ticket!Garcia is at his best playing a passionate man and Macdowell is terrific as the fragile lover. For me, there isn't an actress better when it comes to a love story.Furthermore, you see New York in a new light, because the movie takes place in the streets of New York, as it involves tickets selling.The story is very moving, especially the relationship between Garcia and his surrogate father. It talks a lot about dreams, failures and resilience.You can be unhappy with the extra (text to read or silent making-of) but not by the main thing! So, try to find it if you can and enjoy this great movie!

puck_claes This film was pure entertainment. It gave me a fine smile throughout the whole duration of the story. Fine en believable acting of two professional and charming actor's. One of the best scenes is undoubtfully the one in the kitchen preparing the "haute cuisine" and bringing it to the "guests" This is a refreshing view on it.

Soledad-2 Andy Garcia is one of my favorite actors and I sincerely believe that in "Just the Ticket" he is at his best. This movie is so spontaneous that everything seems real. I enjoyed "Just the Ticket" so much that wish to recommend it to you. Go and see it today.

JoeG-4 I was on a British Airways flight from London to New York when I saw this movie. I wish I could have fallen asleep. The story line was very thin and the editing crew did their best to stretch it out as long as they did.Gary, played by Andy Garcia, was such an unlikable character that I found it hard to be supportive of him. Andy's acting ability is good but not good enough to make up for the poor writing in this movie.Andie MacDowell did a fine job with her portrayal of Linda, Gary's romantic interest. I can not say anything bad about Andie, I always enjoy her acting. The problem here is that the romance between Andy and Andie is so far fetched and unbelievable. The two do not make a good pair on the big screen.The end of the movie was almost as much of a let down as the movie itself. A nod from the Pope and all is forgiven, come on. The event that allows this movie to have a some what happy ending and that the writers would expect us to accept it is pathetic. Gary does not change and only by the death of a dear friend does his situation get better.There are tons of great movies that should be seen before this one. Don't waste your time.
