Amazon.com:
Gary Starke (Andy Garcia) is New York City's supreme scalper. Tickets for the Knicks, MOMA, the pope--you name it, he can get it. To mainstream society, however, Gary doesn't exist. He doesn't work 9 to 5, he doesn't have either a driver's license or a Social Security number, and he isn't even sure he was born in a hospital. Just the Ticket, Richard Wenk's wonderfully understated, well written and ultimately touching romantic comedy, is the story of how Gary finally finds identity. The movie's central premise has Gary trying to score big by scalping tickets for the pope's New York City appearance in order to win back his ex-girlfriend (Andie MacDowell). Both MacDowell and Garcia have been mired in career ruts, so their sexual chemistry is Just the Ticket's biggest surprise. Wenk knows and loves these characters (he based the protagonist on a scalper he met 20 years ago, and he spent five more years pitching the script to numerous studios), and that warmth provides an energy that's so often missing in many Hollywood romantic comedies. Also engaging (and at times heartbreaking) is Richard Bradford, who plays an aging runner who serves as Gary's father figure. MGM inexplicably dumped this picture in the dead of winter in 1999. The DVD--which features audio commentary by Garcia and Wenk, deleted scenes, and a four-page booklet about the making of the film--gives the film the second chance it deserves. --Dave McCoy

I had to push the eject about 2/3 way thru. An ugly persona playing a no body in a who cares plot about trying to scalp tickets for the Pope's visit to NYC. If it wasn't for the girlfriend who dumped him - there'd be no one to watch at all. It's not funny. It's not romantic. It's just a waste of money and supposedly talanted people. It got 1 star because they don't do minus.

JUST THE TICKET, is definitely not a waste of cash as a movie
rental, although it's debatable whether the audience will enjoy
being taken on the highs and lows that this story tells, of a
ticket scalper (black market ticket reseller.) It does work
well, as a rental.
The story is a homage in part, to the illegal alien population
of the USA that numbers in the 10 to 20 million, who have no ID
papers, having been born outside the country or in
circumstances ... Read More

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.

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 ... Read More

Our editorial review tells me that "Just the Ticket" was dumped into theater in the winter of 1999; well, Japanese release was much worse. It never received a theatrical release, going straight to video, and worse still, we had to wait until February of 2002! Does this lukewarm reception mean two stars' recent career decline? Whatever the reason may be, "Just the Ticket" is not as bad as those cold reaction suggests.
The best part of the film is, surprise! the two leading stars. Andy Garcia is well ... Read More
