A life-affirming family dramedy starring Oscar®-winners Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek, Sam & Kate takes place in a small town in the heart of the country. Hoffman plays Bill, the larger-than-life father to Sam (Jake Hoffman), who has returned home to take care of his ailing dad. While home, Sam falls for a local woman, Kate (Schuyler Fisk). And at the same time, Bill starts to fall for her mom, Tina (Spacek). But finding love is complicated and for these four, it is no different. They all must confront their past in order to make their new love work for the future. Truly a family affair, art imitates life with the father/son casting of Dustin & Jake and the mother/daughter casting of Sissy & Schuyler.
Q-tips say: Yes, we did enjoy Sam & Kate.
One of the better movies we watched this year. Touches on deep subjects of loss & ways to move on & keep going. Also has an interesting problem that most people don’t have to deal with but sheds life on the struggles some people face behind closed doors. It was a great story with a lot of heart. The film might make you laugh, smile and cry. Don’t miss it!
