“Change of Plans” demonstrates how our lives can be turned upside down with a single phone call. Brooke plays Sally Danville, who finds out that her best friend from college died in a tragic accident while serving in the Peace Corps. Sally also learns that she has been named the legal guardian of her friend’s four children – three of whom were adopted from third-world countries. Now Sally and her husband, Jason, must quickly learn to parent this instant family and help the kids deal with culture clashes and life in America. The story is both humorous and heartwarming, revealing how fulfilling life can be when you look beyond your own plans and invest in the lives of others.

After a successful run in season seven of American Idol, Brooke makes her acting debut and performs songs throughout the movie.  The movie also features a star-studded cast, including a cameo appearance by Idol judge Randy Jackson, who has produced all of the “Family Movie Night” soundtracks, including the one for “Change of Plans.”

“Brooke has been featured on the soundtrack for two of our other ‘Family Movie Night’ films and we immediately thought of her for the character of Sally Danville, the free-spirited, kind-hearted guitar player,” stated Executive Producer Brian Wells. “This was an ideal first acting role for Brooke and we knew from her audition that we made the perfect choice.”

"As a singer-songwriter, I never expected that I would be acting; talk about a ‘Change of Plans!’” said Brooke. “I love this story, because it is emotionally-driven, yet light-hearted and fun. It also shows us that the family comes in all shapes and sizes, and reminds us that sometimes life doesn't turn out the way we planned, but it can be even better. It’s a great lesson that I learned firsthand!"

The “Change of Plans” soundtrack includes three songs from Brooke, as well as tracks from various recording artists. Details about the “Change of Plans” DVD and soundtrack bonus pack will be announced in 2011.

Brooke returned to the Idol stage to perform on a Season 9 results show. Watch the post-performance interview with Brooke.
