Starbuck Movie Review: | |
| Geniality and mild laughs aren't enough to sustain interest in this predictable effort, especially given the dragged-out running time. Kyle Smith-New York Post As amiable art-house fluff, it's a passable way to kill time before the Vince Vaughn American remake later this year. Amy Nicholson-Los Angeles Times "Starbuck" is up to its eyeballs in mush. You may want to regurgitate. Stephen Holden-New York Times "Starbuck" is more than the sum of its calculations, though not a whole lot more. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal A high-concept goof that's hard-pressed to surmount its twee preposterousness. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News An ostensibly feel-good French-Canadian comedy about artificial insemination gone awry, Ken Scott's Starbuck mainly makes you feel like taking a shower. Jon Frosch-Village Voice ...has an amusing premise and likable cast, but while it's pleasant enough to watch it never really achieves lift off. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews The new year's nicest and most welcome surprise. A funny, heartwarming, superbly acted film that makes you feel good about life. Pete Hammond-Movieline This is a feel-good movie about a man who made himself feel good a lot. Will McCord-Paste Magazine While Huard is an appealing performer the pace of the storytelling and the comedy is too languid and pokey. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity If nothing else, this might be the most heartwarming film ever made about masturbating into a plastic cup for money. Tim Grierson-Back Stage Funny, surprising and full of heart...meatier than you'd expect, with lots of unexpected humor. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine What could have been one long, smutty joke ends up turning into a moving slice of midlife. Keith Phipps-Time Out New York A great big French-Canadian hug of a movie -- a farce with heart. Roger Moore-Movie Nation Yet another example of modern-family predicaments getting stuffed into the traditional-family-values message of conventional comedies. Tomas Hachard-Slant Magazine Sporadically funny with an overtone of healthy sentiment. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve It's a concept with decent comedic potential, but the script from Martin Petit and Ken Scott (who also directs) rarely raises more than a titter. Niki Boyle-The List By taking a warm, witty approach to a rather outrageous situation, Canadian filmmaker Ken Scott helps us see past the plot holes to the underlying emotional resonance. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com The film's French-Canadian director has much queasy fun confronting David's predicament and its effects on his tight-knit Catholic family and his pregnant fiancee. Philip French-Observer [UK] When are 'lovable' movie losers even more (allegedly) lovable? When they're all foreign and arthousey, of course! MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher | |
