A Deadly Adoption is a 2015 satirical thriller film directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg and written by Andrew Steele. The movie stars Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, and Jessica Lowndes. The story revolves around a married couple, Robert (Will Ferrell) and Sarah Benson (Kristen Wiig) who live in a secluded house by the lake. They are trying to move on from the tragic loss of their unborn child, but their relationship seems to be strained.

Sarah, who is a former children's book author, is now pregnant with their second child. However, she is experiencing complications that could lead to a miscarriage. Desperate to give her husband a child, she decides to find a surrogate mother to carry their baby.

One day, Sarah meets the young and beautiful Bridgette (Jessica Lowndes) who seems perfect for the job. Bridgette is homeless and struggling to make ends meet, so she agrees to carry the Benson's baby in exchange for a generous amount of money.

As the days go by, Bridgette moves into the Benson's house and starts to bond with Robert and Sarah. However, strange things start happening around the house, and it becomes clear that Bridgette is not who she says she is.

Throughout the movie, the audience is kept on edge as they try to uncover the mystery surrounding Bridgette and whether or not Sarah and Robert will find out her true motives before it's too late.

Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig are both known for their comedic talents, and they do not disappoint in this movie. Despite the dark and serious themes, they manage to deliver hilarious deadpan lines that perfectly fit the tone of the film.

The chemistry between Ferrell and Wiig is undeniable, and they play off each other's strengths to create some genuinely funny moments. Jessica Lowndes also delivers a solid performance as the enigmatic Bridgette, adding to the tension of the movie.

The cinematography of A Deadly Adoption is also worth mentioning. The picturesque background of the lake complements the tension and the mystery that the movie builds up. The use of light and dark also adds to the ominous atmosphere, creating a suspenseful ambiance that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish.

In conclusion, A Deadly Adoption is a thrilling and hilarious movie that keeps the audience guessing until the end.
