Buday's script is directionless and his direction listless.
5 Star Day has a low-key air that often works, allowing its characters to behave like people instead of twee constructions.
The uneven script, repetitive tropes and over-indulgence of actorly bits slow the pace, tipping youthful casualness into complacency.
The script lacks the depth to transcend its cutesy gimmick and -- as with the misleading horoscopes that fuel the plot -- the film never approaches a five star level.
Mr. Gigandet shows surprising sensitivity and sweetness previously untapped. He's not what I expected, and neither is Five Star Day.
There's nothing more dispiriting about a movie than a trust in star magnetism that isn't returned in actual projected wattage.
Audience Reviews for Five Star Day
Well this was a surprise! Very nice movie. Probably more a "chick flick" than anything. Loved the soundtrack alot! One of those that I had never heard of, and received via Netflix by accident...but was very happy that I did.
