$5 Dollars A Day

From Image Entertainment A Comedy About Relationships On A Shoestring Budget!

Are we always ready to pay for the things we need the most? On August 24, Image Entertainment presents $5 A Day, a story of a father and son struggling with the cost of rebuilding their relationship. Directed by Nigel Cole (Sundance Festival winner, Saving Grace) and featuring an award-winning cast, $5 A Day is an exuberant comedy - a joyous tour of the heart. The film will be available on DVD, Blu-ray and via digital download.

Nat (Christopher Walken, Oscar® winner, The Deer Hunter) is an eccentric conman - a hustler content with a life of schemes and underhanded deals. He lacks one thing: a reconciliation with his son, Flynn (Alessandro Nivola, Jurassic Park III), who has ceased trusting his father long ago. But Nat's time is growing short: he has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. True to form, Nat cons Flynn into joining him in a cross country journey to an experimental medical facility. Short on money, but not on imagination, the two realize that to reach their destination they can spend no more than $5 A Day. They come up with increasingly ridiculous schemes to keep within their budget - but there is a distance of emotion as well as miles to cover. Are they on the path towards a father-son reunion?

With a sparkling cast that includes Sharon Stone (Emmy® award winner, "The Practice", Casino), Amanda Peet (Syriana, 2012), Peter Coyote (Erin Brokovich, "Deadwood") and Dean Cain (Out of Time, Rat Race), $5 A Day is a comedy rich in character and charm. It is a happy reminder that relationships may take their toll, but what we get in return is priceless.

Editorial Review:
If you love Christopher Walken then I am sure you will enjoy this movie. Walken plays a favorable character in this movie, a con man. He hits the road with his son where they keep themselves on a budget, $5 spending per day. Hence the title, believe it or not, they are able to keep within budget. However Walken's cross country con trip has reason, he is out to get his old time partner. One of the funniest scenes in the movie is when Walken is dancing away on the dance floor and the husband can't figure out who is dancing with his wife. A confrontation occurs, and the con begins. Walken walks away with some female company and unharmed. In the end things turn out into quite turmoil between Walken and his son, but when the truth is brought to the table in the end everything is all good.

The movie was a bit dry for me… I had to watch it 2 times just to try to follow it without getting, to be honest, bored. The ending brought me back into the movie, but through the story line, it just did not do it for me on all occasions. The good thing about the movie is that I can't miss a flick with Christopher Walken, it if was another actor, I would probably pass on it.
