British director Nigel Cole, best known for the popular art-house comedies "Saving Grace" and "Calendar Girls," introduced his latest film, the father/son road drama "$5 A Day," by explaining to the Toronto International Film Festival audiences at its Saturday night premiere its qualifications as a classic independent feature. Cole, also a veteran of television sitcoms and nature documentaries, emphasized the film's low budget, short shooting schedule and salary sacrifices made by the cast and crew. More importantly, he singled out his lead actor, Christopher Walken, a marquee name of independent features and the standout feature of Cole's by-the-numbers; surprisingly unfunny film.
