Review of When the Bough Breaks (2016) by Jacob S — 23 Sep 2016
The best thing that I can say about this film is that it's so bad, it's good as long as you treat this film as a comedy and not a thriller. So many tropes we have seen in other films such as Obsessed, The Perfect Guy, and No Good Deeds.
..and they are all bad. The characters don't think or act like real people. The drama is artificial and turned up to 11. Not to mention logic is pretty much left at the door with your coat. If you start asking questions like: How did a lawyer not know basic surrogate rights? How could a court back someone who is clearly a danger to a child? Or How did a detective figure out what a major organization could not? Honestly, you are doing too much.
If you are not watching 'When the Bough Breaks' for it's amusing disregard for common sense my only question for you is, Why are you watching this?
