On the morning of his birthday, Jake Gibson (Cam Gigandet) reads a horoscope that predicts he will have a perfect day. Unfortunately for Jake, the opposite happens. Now determined to prove that astrology is pointless, Jake sets out to find the three people who were born at the same time and place as himself -- Sarah (Jena Malone), Yvette (Brooklyn Sudano) and Wesley (Max Hartman) -- and test his theory by finding out if their birthdays were as horrible as his was.

As indie films go, "5 Star Day" has good production values, strong performances, and compelling cinematography. It's the premise, plot, and character development that keep it from being successful. Go to Full Review

I'm sure writer/director Danny Buday was trying to make something profound, yet he displays a chronic inability to generate momentum. Go to Full Review
