There's nothing more dispiriting about a movie than a trust in star magnetism that isn't returned in actual projected wattage. For the astrologically themed "5 Star Day," writer-director Danny Buday invests in bland hunk Cam Gigandet to such an extent that Buday assumes we will be mesmerized by every interstitial action: parking a car and crossing a street, walking across a lobby, lying on a hotel bed and watching television, even paying a highway toll.

NEW YORK — This debut feature by writer/director Danny Buday features the sort of quirky, high-concept premise that fuels so many indie dramedies. A young man reads his horoscope on his birthday and discovers to his delight that he will have a “5 star day.” But things don’t work out that way, as he loses his job, his girlfriend and his car in quick succession.
