While the Hollywood legends don’t disappoint, it’s their children who steal the spotlight. Being able to hold your own in—let alone carry—a movie alongside those heavyweights is no easy feat, but it’s especially impressive considering Schuyler and Jake are not household names.

Sam & Kate doesn't try to elicit big emotional responses, but that's exactly why it gets them.

As long as their are little lives worth a little intense scrutiny, there’ll be indie films like Sam & Kate, pleasant diversions that give legendary stars the indulgence of a victory lap, this time with their kids along for the ride.

Twists of fate lose their magic when they’re obvious as clumsy script contrivances.

Fisk and Hoffman (the younger) make a fine pair on screen with a natural chemistry; it’s nice to see her back in a romantic leading role. You just wish the two had more substantive material to work with. In fact, the Hallmark holiday version of this film would likely have been more entertaining, or at least shorter.
