Sam & Kate (2022)
5/10
Definitely not a Rom-Com
12 February 2023
Based on this starring Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek, I watched the movie.

The basic premise is nice, but the movie moved a little too slowly for me.

Given the level of talent in this movie, I think I expected more, but I can't quite put my finger on just what exactly was missing.

I liked both Jake Hoffman and Schuyler Fisk and the characters they played, who were both likeable people, too.

Given it was classified as a Rom-Com, shouldn't there have been more laughs in the movie? From what I saw, it was pure drama, with no real rom or com in it, other than the potential of a relationship between Sam & Kate and Bill & Tina.

Maybe it was the full-on arthouse feel to the film that kind of turned me off, I guess? I'm not sure.

This story had the potential to be a really great movie/story and somehow, it just kind of fell flat with me. And I wish I could have loved the film more because so much of it is entirely relatable to most people.
