Review of $5 a Day

$5 a Day (2008)
5/10
good acting, stale formula, improbable plot
31 March 2022
Ok--if you want to see these actors in a movie--here you are. The situations are pretty predictable--more like a TV sit-com than a movie. I did not believe in all those "free promotions" and the "friend" who could counterfeit a drivers license with a birthday for every month or day or the year. Or the fawning, grateful, affectionate hairdressing women. And when the son says the Dad sent him to prison for a crime he himself committed--I quit following the plot--too phony. (This is not a "spoiler alert"--it happens in the middle of the film.) I kept wondering if the Dad would reveal that he has cancer at the end of the movie--oh, wait--he already said that at the beginning!

Where is Mary Tyler Moore being "disease of the week" when you need her??
