Four People. One Horoscope. Infinite Possibilities. Jake Gibson's (Cam Gigandet) horoscope forecasts a perfect FIVE STAR DAY the morning of his birthday, but what's foretold as a flawless day unfolds to be far less than stellar. Jake's world turns upside down when all that could go wrong ... does. Determined that Astrology has no legitimacy, Jake embarks on a journey to test the theory of Astrology by finding the three people born the same time and place as himself - Sarah Reynolds (Jena Malone), Yvette Montgomery (Brooklyn Sudano) and Wesley Henderson (Max Hartman). The journey quickly uproots Jake from the small college town of Berkeley, California, to downtown Chicago where he sets out to find and interview Sarah, Yvette and Wesley to see if their birthdays proved to be as deplorable as his own. Jake's pursuit in finding his three Astrological matches (or Zodiac twins) will not only test his convictions, but validate how life's unexpected twists of fate can deliver much more than the anticipated. The unforeseen takes Jake from the Windy City, to the boardwalk of New Jersey's Atlantic City, to the bustling streets of New York. What Jake learns along the way is an important lesson about life, love, fate and destiny that will unexpectedly change his life forever.

| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIsn't an exceptional feature, but its sensitivity and dedication to the comfort of strangers is quite appealing. It tenders a sweet message about human attachment and kindness, creating a gentle ambiance that's consistently engaging. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe 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. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedMr. Gigandet shows surprising sensitivity and sweetness previously untapped. He's not what I expected, and neither is Five Star Day. |
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsA romantic reminder of less-enlightened times when asking a woman her astrological sign was actually a viable pickup line. |
| AV ClubAlison Willmore5 Star Day has a low-key air that often works, allowing its characters to behave like people instead of twee constructions. |
| Movie MetropolisJames PlathAs 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. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanI'm sure writer/director Danny Buday was trying to make something profound, yet he displays a chronic inability to generate momentum. |
| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerYou don't need a horoscope to know it's a bad sign when the quirky, jumbled, plodding plot is incredibly implausible. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerA drippy ending erases all the hopes you've built up and forces you to conclude that this wasn't such a well-thought-out film after all. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonGigandet fills every close-up with flirtatious face wrinkles, embarrassed smiles, and anything else he can think of, to the point where Jake seems downright spastic. |
