That’s why Morris is Ricky to me and the wife in this movie is that weird black girl from the Scary Movie series ” Regina Hall”. Whatever movie I first see you in, you will forever be known to me as that character. The husband who is played by Ricky from boys in the hood ” government name” Sexy DARK CHOCOLATE Morris Chestnut. The movie focuses on a beautiful Black Couple who are not able to have children. Seeing that it was set in Louisiana got me even more hyped up. What kind of southern belle would I be if I did not recognize such a great city. I see lots of water, a big river, and the sight of an infamous superdome and whispered to my girlfriends that this movie was set in one my favorite cities ” New Orleans”. The movie starts off with showing scenes from the city that the movie is set in. Also if you did not know a BOUGH is a tree branch. That’s kind of disturbing if you think about it. The tune and harmony are dope but why are we singing about a baby falling out of a tree.
Now that I’m older I think this is a pretty dumb lullaby. When the the BOUGH breaks, the cradle will fall, and down will come baby cradle and all. Rock a bye baby on a tree top, when the wind blows the cradle will rock. The title of the movie “When The Bough Breaks” comes from the lullaby “Rock A Bye Baby” If you have not scene the trailer, check it out below. The movie has this slow and mellow vibe throughout the majority of the movie, but the last 20 or so minutes are pretty intense. When the Bough Breaks opens in theaters September 16th.I have been anticipating this movie all year, simply because the trailer was absolutely bomb and it pulled me in.
The couple becomes caught up in Anna's deadly game and must fight to regain control of their future before it's too late. After exhausting all other options, they finally hire Anna (Jaz Sinclair), the perfect woman to be their surrogate – but as she gets further along in her pregnancy, so too does her psychotic and dangerous fixation on the husband.
Here's the official synopsis: John and Laura Taylor (Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall) are a young, professional couple who desperately want a baby. Talent aside, the actor also has a respectable commercial track record, so nobody should call When the Bough Breaks a "surprise hit" when it most likely does impressive business at the box office later this year. While watching this trailer, as campy as it is at times, it's obvious Chestnut is committed to the role. They keep perform consistently well for the studio.Ĭhestnut, even if a piece of material doesn't match his talents, is someone you can almost always rely on to do good work. By this point, you know if these thrillers were made for you or not. There's definitely an audience out there for these low-risk-high-reward Screen Gems thrillers, like The Perfect Guy, Obsessed, and even a story as unpleasant as No Good Deed. These sorts of films tend to live up to moviegoer's expectations, whether they're high or low. The trailer is pretty much what one expects. Here's the When the Bough Breaks trailer (source: EW): Actually, scratch that, because the movie actually looks quite a bit like Curtis Hanson's darkly fun '90s thriller. Cassar is taking on very different material with When the Bough Breaks, which has a slight The Hand That Rocks the Cradle vibe to it. The director's last feature film, Forsaken, was a Western starring Kiefer and Donald Sutherland. Cassar has primarily worked in television, having directed episodes for 24, Nikita, Fringe, and more.
The trailer for Jon Cassar's film is fairly run-of-the-mill. Watch the When the Bough Breaks trailer below. Their newest thriller, When the Bough Breaks, is both executive produced by and stars Chestnut. Understandably, the studio wants this collaboration to keep going. Back in 2014, the actor signed a three-picture deal with Sony's Screen Gems. Their last picture headlined by Chestnut, The Perfect Guy, made close to $60 million at the box office, which isn't too shabby for a movie that cost $12 million. Screen Gems likes being in the Morris Chestnut business.
