Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
BlakeRsanchez83 I started to watch the movie because of Regina King. Loved it. One of the best psychological thrillers in years.i recommend this movie
Michael Ledo John Taylor (Morris Chestnut) is a successful corporate attorney ready to make "partner." His wife Laura (Regina Hall) is a successful whatever ready to make CEO. They can't have children and have one last frozen embryo. They hire the very nice Anna Walsh (Jaz Sinclair) to carry the child. Her abusive boyfriend Michael (Theo Rossi) is what brings her into their home, a really nice home...one she would want to live in... and live with a guy like John. From here the plot goes as expected.We have seen similar films when a young rival is brought into the home for a number of reasons. This one was okay, with the actors going through the motions, waiting for the next big gig. The film is rated PG-13 which means they cut away at all the good scenes.Guide: Brief sex. Near nudity. Not much swearing.
Janielie Walters I am uncertain if this movie was made for the theaters or for Lifetime. I really liked the cast and the antagonist but that is as far as my liking goes.Pursuant to the subject "cliched", I was not even slightly startled at any point in this movie, as a matter of fact, the only surprise was when I saw the credits rolling, thought it wouldn't have ended. ***SPOILERS***If they had killed off one of the Taylors, I could guarantee that the movie would have gotten a better review, wouldn't be great but good enough to spend money on. The plot was weak and flat, the so- called climax - wait what? - there wasn't a climax, well maybe but I refuse to call it a climax since the only excitement I got was to hear the baby cry.Overall this movie was horrible and I have almost had it with this amount of clichés hitting the theaters.
shatguintruo Immaculately dressed man. Totally aseptic environment. Man: lawyer, well married, rich, highly regarded by the boss. All according to the "American Dream". What's wrong with these scenes? No, I will not answer. I leave it to anyone who reads these lines. Laura Taylor (Regina Hall) and John Taylor (Morris Chestnut) live this very well-driven drama at the hands of Jon Cassar. Laura has a serious health problem: if she tries to get pregnant again, she can put her life at risk. Solution: Look for a "surrogate". The search is insane. But ... here comes a humble, quiet, friendly candidate who immediately conquers Laura's heart. John (as a good lawyer) does not think it a good idea to hire her, by meeting Anna Walsh (Jaz Sinclair) ... suspects that everything is "so right" that you can distrust ... And then the suspicions are confirmed: Anna has a boyfriend Mike (Theo Rossi - in few but striking appearances) who lives to apply blows on desperate wives to have a child ... The cinematography is excellent (David Moxness) capturing the environment as one should do in a good thriller. Highlight for Daniel Coe (Construction Coordinator) for the sensational work and for John Frizzell (Music). On a scale of 1 to 10, my vote is 7 (very good).
