The conclusion of NBC's two-part TV Movie re-make of the classic "Rosemary's Baby" (1968), which was originally directed by Roman Polanski and starred Mia Farrow, covers the "troubled" pregnancy of Rosemary Woodhouse (Zoe Saldana). The interesting revisions introduced in the first half become ever more uninteresting. The hinting of a Lesbian romance between "Ro" and her lady sponsor is cast to the wind. Instead, the character goes for "Guy" (Patrick J. Adams). His character development remains the most interesting expansion, but it wavers too often. Some of the story becomes (unintentionally) laughable, such as the scene where Ms. Saldana chows down on the guts of a chicken. Seen in a singular sitting – minus many commercials – the film starts out intriguing and becomes a drag as the revisions become predictable. Filmmakers might have been wise to consider an abortion.
