Critic Reviews for Just the Ticket

Chaming...the leads are splendid
An offbeat drama about miracles and love.
You need more than a good idea and one colorful character to make an engaging, entertaining movie.
Not only do the one-liners fall flat, so do the straight-faced lines in general--a sure death knell for a film as talky as this one.
Audience Reviews for Just the Ticket
Although filled with recognizable names and faces, and a unique premise (ticket scalper makes good ... you don't see that every day), this one is simply death by formula: you see everything coming from a mile away. And so its no great shakes when it finally arrives. Wait until you've nothing better to do.
Super Reviewer
Another surprising film I've seen lately. You've probably never heard of this one: A ticket scalper (Andy Garcia) going nowhere in life figures he can turn his life around and win back his girlfriend by nabbing tickets to the Pope's address at Yankee Stadium. Yeah, I know. Still, give this one a chance, and you won't regret it. There's a freshness that is usually completely absent in most romantic comedies, ruined in part by an unbelievably bland MacDowell. Kudos to Garcia, though - you can't help but empathize and symapthize with his character. I mean, everybody wants proof that they exist. :)
