Review of I Hate Kids (2019) by Tvjerry — 29 May 2020

At his wedding rehearsal dinner, the author of the titular best-selling book (Tom Everett Scott) finds out he has a son by another woman. He sets out with a flamboyant psychic (Titus Burgess) combing thru his list of previous hookups to find the boy's mom.

While there's plenty of potential in the setup, almost none of it's realized. Scott has handled comedy before with success and Burgess is naturally funny, but neither of them have much to work with here.

On top of that, the mom encounters try way too hard to be quirky. The energy never lags, but the script never provides any moments of genuine humor. (Look for a cameo from director John Landis as another psychic.
