One year ago, a movie called The Perfect Guy was released. It was enormously cliché and definitely flawed, but it had potential which at the very least made it watchable.

Enter When the Bough Breaks, the by-product of a thermonuclear warhead strike on The Perfect Guy. Anything good about The Perfect Guy is now missing from this film. Also keep in mind that this film was released two weeks after Don't Breathe...which was made by the exact same studio.

Like Nine Lives, this film is insanely bad. The characters are terrible, the plot is wholly uneventful, and no character emerges as good when everything comes down. For the sake of making a longer movie, the studio probably wanted the movie to operate off of convoluted plot points.

Don't bother watching this film. It has nothing to say and nothing interesting to show. It is all a broken promise that was probably caused by that thermonuclear warhead. From the microscopic pieces, the studio not only poorly Frankenstein-ed it back together, but it forgot about all the problems that The Perfect Guy had.
