Abraham L Mar 31, 2019 I don't like the inference, that if a film is good natured and kind that somehow means it's in a lower category of cinema. No-one said that about 'Amelie' and the same applies here. This is a wondrous film, it's funny, it's kind, it's joyous and it made me cry more than once. I loved it. See more

Feb 24, 2019 What would you do for a bit of cash while young? This guy unknowingly sired several hundred children, and he's going to secretly check up on as many as he can, and boy is he gonna broaden his definition of family while he does it! See more

Jun 18, 2018 It's hard to find unique stories anymore. And great storytelling is the foundation of any great film. Laced with humor and unmatched sweetness, "Starbuck" tells the unusual story of a man whose persistent/obsessive donations to a local sperm bank as a young man catches up with him in his later life. The revelation of his donations being attributed to the subsequent births of 533 children, of which 142 are actively seeking him, as well as his current-day girlfriend becoming pregnant, forces him to grow up quickly. His curiosity about the children he has father, he finds is that, in a very "My Name is Earl"-like way, he feels obligated to help them with their myriad of normal-life problems. All the while, he is running from thugs trying to collect on $80,000 he owes. Even typing this, the story sounds insanely unimaginable, and of course it is, but the inherent sweetness of starbuck's well-written character, his relationship with his own family and the realization that he isn't as much of a screwup as he's always thought, makes for one precious film. For fathers, it's a must-see. See more
