The animal wrangler on the film was Steve Berens from Animals of Distinction and Miss Havisham may have been played by the cat acting team of Pepper.įinal Mewsings: Filmmakers have got to stop putting cats in movies just to kill them. The cat seen in the crib is obviously fake. When The Bough Breaks is about John and Laura Taylor (Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall), a couple that have been trying to have a child for years, but due to medical constraints, are unable to. Kitty Carnage Warning! Sadly Miss Havisham is a casualty when Anna kills her and puts her in the baby’s crib. The movie is never insultingly bad, but it is relentlessly uninspired and feels like a product off of an assembly line rather than an actual movie. Miss Havisham watches as Anna swims in the pool late one night as well. Miss Havisham is standing by the sliding glass doors as John tells the cat’s name to Anna and explains how Laura has always treated the cat like a baby. In another scene Laura comes downstairs one morning carrying Miss Havisham with her. “It’s been a long day, cat,” John says sternly. Miss Havisham is sitting in the corridor in his way.

Later John comes home to find Laura in the bar. Miss Havisham is first seen on the couples’ bed. Synopsis: John and Laura Taylor (Morris Chestnut, Regina Hall) have one last chance at having a baby via a surrogate, but their choice in Anna Walsh (Jaz Sinclair) turns deadly.įeatured Feline: Laura owns an elderly long-haired tuxedo cat named Miss Havisham (undoubtedly named after the Dickens’ character from Great Expectations, although it is not explained why). Starring: Morris Chestnut, Regina Hall, Jaz SinclairĬat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
