5 Star Day has a low-key air that often works, allowing its characters to behave like people instead of twee constructions.
Alison Willmore, AV Club

The uneven script, repetitive tropes and over-indulgence of actorly bits slow the pace, tipping youthful casualness into complacency.
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
Rotten
The 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.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

Mr. Gigandet shows surprising sensitivity and sweetness previously untapped. He's not what I expected, and neither is Five Star Day.
