5 dollari al giorno (2008)
Ritchie (Alessandro Nivola) esce dal carcere dopo avere scontato ingiustamente la pena inflittagli per una truffa commessa dal padre Nat (Christopher Walken) e scopre di essere stato mollato dalla fidanzata Maggie (Amanda Peet). Inoltre il padre, con cui lui non vorrebbe più avere a che fare, ha un cancro al cervello che non gli lascia molte speranze. L’unico rimedio per ritardare l’avanzata del male potrebbe essere una nuova cura new age che si pratica in Messico e così padre e figlio decidono di affrontare un viaggio in camper per raggiungere il paese. Non avendo molti fondi a disposizione, progettano di farsi bastare cinque dollari al giorno per le necessità e di sfruttare la malattia come alibi per ottenere qualcosa gratis. Durante il percorso, grazie al quale si riavvicineranno, si imbatteranno in Dolores (Sharon Stone), ex baby sitter di Ritchie, che da sempre ha un debole per il vecchio Nat
