Editorial Review:
Mark (John C. McGinley: "Scrubs", Platoon), McGriff (D.B. Sweeney: The Cutting edge, Fire in the Sky) and Jason (Paul Hipp: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) are three high-school buddies whose glory days are long gone and who are still stuck in their small Pennsylvania hometown. To break free and escape their much-too-ordinary lives, they embark on a cross-country road trip to the College Football Championship Bowl. The journey takes them through hilarious twists and turns, boozing and misbehaving every step of the way. Throughout the wild adventure, they discover the most important thing in this crazy, uncertain world is friendship.
Two Tickets to Paradise Reviews:
not good 
2009-07-28 - This movie was pretty bad. It's about three middle-aged guys who go on a roadtrip together. They've been friends for years.
The entire beginning where we get to know the characters was extremely bad. No interesting features and just downright bad writing.
The film does improve a little bit when the guys eventually go on the roadtrip (which by the way, takes FOREVER to get to that point, which means lots of mediocrity until the guys get in the car together and travel).
The guys do very stupid things, like wreck their car, assume they've won the lottery when they really didn't and act like children, attempt to jump off the bridge when they get drunk and/or stoned to commit suicide, and lots of other silly things. One of the friends even lies to the other one about sleeping with his wife just to make a man out of him, but the writing is just totally poor so it's not interesting.
Maybe other people can see the appeal in a movie like this, but the storytelling was just horrible the entire time.
A fun ride. 
2009-01-19 - 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.

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.
Scrumptrulescent!
2008-07-30 - 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.
Two Tickets to Paradise..
