This wasn't quite what we expected but overall, we enjoyed it. Started abit slow but was part of developing the characters. Acting was great by Christopher Walken and Alessandro Nivola - never heard of him before but he did an amazing job of portraying the prodigal son. Sharon Stone was quite the lady and really shed light on the father/son relationship. Not a comedy but had humor. Interesting concept of living on $5 a day and probably there are some that really do work for some people.

not bad!i am glad i rented it. good actors. very interesting to watch their characters.sharon stone is hilarious and loveable. a tad bit cliche in parts but overall is entertaining to watch. the father finds very creative ways to save money. i thought it was a very interesting script.

"$5 a Day" is the best of indie film-making - napierslogs

"$5 a Day" is a father-son road trip movie. You may think you've seen that done way too many times before, but it plays out as if it's completely original. This is, quite simply, one of the best indie films ever. It may not be completely independent as it does have an all-star cast behind it.

The handsome and completely endearing Alessandro Nivola is Flynn, the son, who is just trying to live a normal life. Christopher Walken, still on top of his game, is Nat, the father, who schemes and lies his way into living and travelling on just 5 dollars a day. After Flynn loses his job and Nat insists he's dying, Flynn agrees to drive his father across the country for treatment. There are plenty of hilarious cons and schemes, but also some touching honesty, along the way.

"$5 a Day" is a fantastic dramedy. It is billed as a comedy and it does have some low-key humour and many laughs. But by just calling it a comedy, that doesn't seem to give the film full credit for the brilliant character writing. There is a lot of intelligent undertones in the actions of the characters as they each mature in the journey. And the writer did that with subtlety and humour, no melodrama here.

This film was done better than I ever thought a relationship road trip movie could be done. I laughed all of the way, just enjoying the characters, and I didn't find all of the subtle lessons on relationships until after it was over. Walken and Nivola had great chemistry and completely won me over. I now expect them to play father and son in all of their future movies.
