This film has been rescheduled for Thursday September 29 @ 7pm.

Sperm has a long history of appearing in comedies for the most juvenile reasons, but only rarely for creating new juveniles. In STARBUCK, one man’s sperm will provide the push he needs to become a better man and father. To a lot of children
David (Patrick Huard) is 42 and going nowhere, whiling away his time at his father’s butcher shop while casually dating a police officer named Valérie (Julie Le Breton). But when Valérie unexpectedly reveals she’s pregnant, David is left reeling just in time to learns he’s also about to be publically identified by a class-action lawsuit filed by many of the 533 children he’s fathered through anonymous sperm bank contributions. (The film’s title and David’s donation pseudonym cheekily allude to Canada’s Starbuck Holstein bull, which sired more than 200,000 calves.)

Balanced by a David’s growing sense of parental responsibility, writer-director Ken Scott and co-screenwriter Martin Petit tackle the sticky subject of fatherhood with a comedy about an overgrown adolescent whose maturity has been a long time coming.
