“When The Bough Breaks” (** out of four) was a ridiculous thriller about a surrogate mother (Jaz Sinclair) to a wealthy couple (Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall) who are unable to have their own child. They then unexpectedly have her move in with them which leads to problems when she develops a dangerous fixation on the soon-to-be father. Yet another “Fatal Attraction” clone that is fatally obvious and contrived. Good performances help disguise story holes and make this watchable for a while but story gets excessively silly and unbelievable, especially in the second half.
