And what a cast: Christopher Walken is stellar as Nat, a con artist who shows up in his grown son’s life after years on the lam–for mysterious reasons. The hunky Alessandro Nivola plays his son, Ritchie, who is suspicious (perhaps rightly) of his long-lost dad’s sudden reappearance and his plan for a crazed road trip. Other standouts include Sharon Stone, a vixen from Nat’s past, as well as Peter Coyote (who lends $5 a Day some much-needed gravitas), Amanda Peet, and Dean Cain. The plot is thin, but the ride is a blast–watch how Nat finagles free or next-to-free food, accommodations, and laundry facilities on the mysterious trip he takes Ritchie on. (In fact, the product placement in the film is so prominent that one suspects $5 a Day could also have been the film’s production budget.) As $5 a Day winds along its crazy itinerary, the laughs are plentiful, but there’s pathos lurking in the background, and soon Ritchie learns the real reason Nat has come to find him. The talents of the actors–especially Walken and Stone–balancing slapstick laughs with grownup heartbreak are well worth any price. — A.T.
