Psychotic Obsession
I saw "When the Bough Breaks", starring Morris Chestnut-Kick-Ass 2, Under Siege 2:Dark Territory; Regina Hall-The Think Like a Man movies, Law Abiding Citizen; Glenn Morshower-X-Men First Class, 24-TV and Jaz Sinclair-Paper Towns, Rizzoli & Isles-TV.
This is a thriller about a couple who are in need of a surrogate. Morris & Regina are the married couple trying to start their own family. Every attempt has failed which leads them to a surrogate, Jaz. At first, Jaz seems perfect; she is young, healthy and willing to carry their inseminated child, but soon, things change. Jaz' boyfriend wants her to milk Morris & Regina for money. Then, Jaz starts to show interest in Morris that makes him feel uncomfortable. Then she starts showing up at his job, which gets Morris in trouble with his boss, Glenn. Things continue to escalate until pretty soon, Jiz seems to be doing her best impersonation of the psychotically obsessed Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction. As you can probably tell, there is not much new here but the actor's execution of the material is quite watchable. It's rated "PG-13" for violence, language, disturbing images and sexual content-including partial nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 47 minutes. I don't know if I would buy this one on DVD but it would make a good rental.
