George Clooney and Julia Roberts are lovers to enemies … and maybe back to lovers again? … in their new romantic comedy “Ticket to Paradise.”

“Ticket to Paradise” is about two exes who find themselves on a shared mission to stop their lovestruck daughter (played by Kaitlyn Dever) from making the same mistake they once made as they travel to Bali for her impending wedding.

A trailer for the rom-com, which you can watch above, shows the former couple struggle to put their differences aside, even in light of their common cause. They go head-to-head at every turn, before eventually making peace with their daughter’s decision — and each other.

Julia Roberts and George Clooney are starring opposite one another in a romantic comedy, but they aren’t in love when they reunite.

“Worst 19 years of my life,” says Clooney’s character in the trailer, describing his relationship with his ex-wife, played by Roberts.

“We were only married for five,” she replies, which he then clarifies by noting: “I’m counting the recovery.”

The megastars teamed up for Universal’s Ticket to Paradise — marking each of their long-awaited returns to the romantic comedy genre. The trailer, which dropped on Wednesday, gives moviegoers a first look at Roberts and Clooney playing a divorced couple who come back together for a Bali excursion in hopes of stopping their lovestruck daughter (played by Kaitlyn Dever) from making the same mistake they think they made 25 years ago by marrying someone she just met and throwing her career away.

Julia Roberts is making her triumphant return to the rom-com. The iconic actor stars in the first trailer for “Ticket to Paradise,” a new film that reunites her with her “Ocean’s Eleven” co-star George Clooney.

Directed by Ol Parker, “Ticket to Paradise” stars Roberts and Clooney as two long-divorced parents who impulsively married each other. When their daughter Lily (Kaitlyn Dever) heads on a post-graduation trip to Bali and decides to marry a local, the two fly out to Indonesia to talk her out of making the same mistake they once did. The trailer highlights the strained relationship between the two characters, even as they attempt to join forces for the sake of their daughter.

“Worst 19 years of my life,” Clooney says during an exchange in the trailer, to which Roberts replies, “We were only married for five.”

“I’m including the recovery,” he fires back.
