Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall star in this modern day Fatal Attraction-esque movie about a couple unable to have kids who welcome a surrogate into their home.
But of course this is Hollywood so nothing goes quite to plan and before you can say damn skippy, the soon to be mom becomes enamoured with the husband.
See that wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact she's a complete psychotic, but how do you combat such a person when they're carrying your child?
We've seen this before, near enough this entire film to be honest but here it's done competently enough.
Morris Chestnut tends to always play the same brooding character (And does here) and Regina Hall is someone I cannot take seriously anymore after her zany stint in the Scary Movie franchise! I expect her to break out into some stereotypical satirical crazy expletive filled rant and find myself almost dissapointed that she doesn't.
When the Bough Breaks lacks in originality but does have its moments, sadly not enough to raise the bar above distinctly average.
The Good:
Morris Chestnut
Has a couple of interesting moments
The Bad:
Regina Hall
Seen it all before
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
When a girl hits on you keep it a secret from your wife, what could possibly go wrong?
Moral of the story, don't have kids.
