Kandasamys: The Baby 2023 / An aimless family comedy that can't help but feel insincere

The fourth Kandasamys installment may only appeal to viewers who’ve been there from the beginning, but no matter your history with the South African Indian series, The Baby really offers far too little. With unconvincing third-act drama and extremely loose connection tissue between scenes, it becomes very difficult to see what the point of all this is, unless you are truly charmed by the bickering of this dysfunctional family. Unfortunately there isn’t any wit to the clashing of personalities here; these are characters who aren’t even trying to get on the same page, so set in their stubborn ways that it becomes infuriating to watch them butt heads for no good reason.
