JUST THE TICKET (1999) *** Andy Garcia is great as a NYC scalper hot on the trail of Pope tickets. Andie MacDowell is a bit less even as the gourmetist love interest. There are some incredibly brilliant scenes, but also one or two brief trite laggers. I believe that you can see a spirit of Catholocism in the light surrounding the Pope. I also fall for some of the sap. I've always kind of liked "Smokin' Joe" Frazier, so I'm glad that Muhammed Ali didn't show up and kick his ass again.
