In Mother of the Bride, Brooke discovers that her daughter is marrying the son of the man who broke her heart in college.
During her GMA interview, the Suddenly Susan alum talked about shooting in Thailand for almost three months and praised her fellow cast, including Lucifer actress Rachael Harris.
‘It was unbelievable in Thailand, it sort of harkened back to what I remember movie making was, Blue Lagoon, we were all just concentrated in one area and we had to become a family,’ she gushed of her experience making the movie.
And she had nothing but compliments for her fellow cast, calling Cosgrove ‘so lovely and so sweet,’ before saying, ‘I felt so lucky to be able to be in that environment,’ she added.
She even learned pickleball, a sport she’d been resisting, while on the film, revealing she took intense lessons which led her to believe she was a good player.
Then she got home and played pickleball against her husband Chris Henchy.
‘I realized I wasn’t good at all,’ she said with a laugh and revealed she intends to keep playing the popular sport.
In Mother of the Bride, Brooke stars as Lana, a woman who travels to the Southeast Asian kingdom when her daughter announces she is getting married there in a month’s time to her boyfriend, played by Sean Teale.
The drama around the hasty nuptials is further complicated when Lana discovers her future son-in-law is the offspring of the man who broke her heart decades ago (Bratt).
