      Kevin Carr 7M Pictures $5 a Day isn't perfect, but it does examine some of the issues that we have when connecting with our parents as adults. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 1, 2012 Full Review Brian Orndorf DVDTalk.com Dreadfully formulaic and absent a thoughtful emotional core, the picture is best valued as a forgettable trifle starring Hollywood's most enduring weirdo. Rated: D+ Sep 9, 2010 Full Review Jules Brenner Cinema Signals The success of the piece rests on Nivola's calm adaptability as fatherly hi-jinx tries his patience and makes its mark on his heart. Rated: 4/5 Aug 19, 2010 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...very amusing and agreeable... Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 16, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member I’m surprised to see such blow ratings on the movie, personally I enjoyed it quite a bit. The beginning of the movie did start out looking a little cheesy and it was a bit slow going and I thought, ugh, the reviews were right. But nope, all actors were great in their parts and I thought it all came together wonderfully with a heartfelt message at the end. Well done Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/18 Full Review Audience Member Formulaic, but Walken renders it watchable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting story, but it could have been executed better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Awkward in so many ways. It almost felt like I was watching Birdemic sometimes for some reason. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Really fucking terrible Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good. Christopher Walken made the movie. Without him, not much. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
