Review of $5 a Day

$5 a Day (2008)
7/10
Can't drink a Pepsi now without thinking of Christopher Walken . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . but haven't found out where to get such a Sweet 'n Low-down deal yet, either. Not everyone who sees $5 A DAY is likely to sleep on the bare floors of foreclosed houses on their next road trip. (Would the plumbing even be hooked up?) Nor will they necessarily find room service waiters as gullible as the one featured in this movie. In real life, a person might have to live to the age of 147 or so to recoup the cost of making 365 (counting leap year: do the math) fake driver's licenses so EVERY day is a free day at restaurants offering birthday dinners gratis (where I live, you get 1% off for each year of age, meaning such notable oldsters as Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, and Ben Franklin ALL would have croaked before "earning" a free lunch). However, Walken's final destination, as a member of the so-called "Pepsi Generation," will have few thinking "things go better with Coke." Now, if I can just settle on WHICH sponsor to seek for an ad-mobile with 1,000-miles-a-month worth of free gas, I can get on with my own product placement project in real life. Since pink is not my color, I won't be applying to S & L, as Christopher does in his $5 starring vehicle. A nice black SUV from Switzer's licorice could provide enough room for BOTH free samples and my travel gear . . . BUT a classy yellow Butterfingers-mobile would not be too shabby for when the munchies strike, either.
