Summary: It's worth getting a ticket for Just the Ticket
Review: A very beautiful story, characters who make us fond of them and an excellent casting. Andy Garcia is sublime and Andie MacDowell, brilliant. you'll find in it humour and emotion. It makes us spend a great moment. I've bought it and it's worth doing it !

Summary: Surprisingly well done.
Review: Andy Garcia completely owns the screen in every scene. His performance here is enough for anyone to buy this movie. But, alas, there are problems with his supporting actress Andie Macdowell. The whole movie she looks like a deer caught in high-beam headlights. It is particularly noticeable whenever she "shares" a scene with Mr. Garcia. There is one scene where it's her big moment, her "look at me and see how talented an actress I am" moment, when Andy Garcia completely downplays the scene and through subtlety and nuance buries Mrs. Macdowell and steals the movie from under her. Another scene, a pre-love-making stare-down between the two stars is almost laughable. Andie Macdowell is frozen while Andy Garcia nearly melts the celluloid with his eyes. It's as if Mrs. Macdowell realized at some point that she was just no match for Mr. Garcia, went limp, and planned her follow-up project. She has talent, just not in this movie. Try "Dinner with Friends" to see what she's really capable of. All said, this movie would have been better off without a love-interest sub-plot. The lives of the myriad professional scalpers was more than enough to keep me watching. The seedy underworld they inhabit while just trying to make a living was very interesting. Overall, this was a surprising and mostly rewarding film.

Review: He's a devil-may-care scammer without a future. She has a lot going for her, a superb talent in the kitchen; She needs him like a hole in the head.Suspend all belief and enjoy.

Summary: Shallow but fair entertainment
Review: I rented this because my girlfriend loves Andy Garcia. I really enjoyed his performance in the very powerful "When a MAn Loves a Woman", so I took a chance on this. I can't say I was pleasantly surprised, but I was reminded of the breadth of ability of Andy Garcia. Andy McDowell plays the character she is in every movie. The semi-cold distracted career woman who just wants to be swept off her feet. Andy plays Jerry the ticket scalper. The plot really revolves around the Pope coming to town and Jerrys efforts to get tickets. There is a new scalper in town who, with all of his contacts and payoffs, threatens to muscle out Jerry. In a good performance by Jerry's sidekick, the has-been boxer, he relates the link between Jerry and Andie McDowell. Andie's character and Jerry are both afraid that Jerry will end up like him. This is a typical bubble gum romance between a woman who is worried about her future with a man who only sees today.

Summary: Andy Garcia is THE MAN!
Review: I rented this movie and after watching it, I knew I had to own it. Andy Garcia is so charming in this (as well as drop dead gorgeous) - it's too bad he isn't offered more comedy roles. He was great in this as was the rest of the cast. I really enjoyed the storyline. And those eyes - ouch! I hope his wife appreciates what she gets to wake up next to every day.

Summary: Another fantastic performance for Garcia!
Review: I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this film on cable for the first time. What surprises me is how underrated this film is. This is a story about a ticket scalper, (which I don't remember seeing to often in other movies)and his troubles trying to get his life together for his love interest. The film offers a unique insight to the world of the "ticket scalper", which although not a big crime, it is a crime. Living in the city I my self have witnessed the ticket scalper on many occasions, and trust me, the hustle and bustle life style portraid in this film is for real. Being the film buff that I am, I've seen all of Andy Garcia's films, and I feel that his performance in this film is one of his best. Just the ticket contains, Drama, Romance, Comedy and best of all Garcia's charm.
