There were a lot of other good things in the movie, but some of the messaging really needed to be adjusted and updated. So, I like being part of remaking things for this generation, and I like being able to continue to tell stories so that I can continue to be more fun and yet responsible in how those stories are told.”
Her newest rom-com isn’t a remake, but it does offer an updated perspective on how to cope with a split: the breakup trip. Cook plays Amanda, a travel industry pro who takes a trip to Vietnam after she’s unexpectedly dumped by her boyfriend. She soon meets an expat tour guide, Sinh (Scott Ly), who
