When the Bough Breaks, the second-highest-grossing film last weekend, is the story of John and Laura Taylor (portrayed by Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall), a rich and beautiful couple desperate for a baby. After many failed attempts at conception, they decide to put all their hopes, and their “last viable embryo,” in the uterus of Anna (Jaz Sinclair), a young surrogate with the vacant stare that reminds you of the most drug-addled folks of the 1970s cult films. The film opens with Laura staring at a video of Anna discussing with the surrogate screener why she wants to be a surrogate. Anna looks sedated and dim, her eyes in a crooked squint and her mouth in a vague smile. She looks like a stoned deer. This is the face Anna makes during the entire movie. It’s her innocent face, her scheming face, her scary face, her sexy face. I did a Google Image search of “stoned deer” to ensure the accuracy of my description, and—trust me—it’s spot-on. “Look at her eyes,” Laura says when she’s explaining to the surrogacy service why she wants to choose Anna, as if there’s anything to be found in those eyes other than quaaludes.
