A funny, loving, sexy, real woman who is also a mom. I can`t wait to see these two playing mother and daughter.

Brooks, whose resume boasts a range of film and TV projects like `The Mary Tyler Moore Show`, `Taxi`, `The Simpsons` and `As Good as It Gets`.Craig and Brooks previously teamed up for the 2016 comedic drama `The Edge of Seventeen` with Hailee Steinfeld and Woody Harrelson.
