Brooke Shields looking at Benjamin Bratt in Mother of the Bride
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A young woman living abroad gets engaged and surprises her mother with the news that she is getting married in a month — a destination wedding in Phuket, Thailand. Unbeknownst to both, the bride's mother runs into her ex, and shenanigans ensue. Off the cuff, you would think this is the premise of Julia Roberts and George Clooney's Ticket to Paradise.
Mother Of The Bride Is All Fluff But it's still a fun time Close Mother of the Bride is riddled with tropes and archetypes, but somehow screenwriter Robin Berheim — who's behind such hits as When Calls The Heart, all three The Princess Switch movies, and A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding — and director Mark Waters, who gave us Hall of Famers, Freaky Friday, Mean Girls and He's All That, manage to make something that is just sweet and funny enough that what usually wouldn't...
Mother of the Bride's success rests on the filmmakers' abilities to not oversell anything and trust that the collective charisma of the assembled cast will do what it needs to do — and it does, though a flimsy script and one major miscast can be distracting. Shields and Bratt are the dynamic duo I never knew I needed. Their chemistry is off the charts, but their most important contributions are their heartfelt performances.
