David Wozniak (Patrick Huard) is a train wreck of a middle-aged man. When he's not disappointing his brothers at his family-owned butcher shop or flaking out on his too-good-for-him girlfriend Valerie (Julie Le Breton), he's getting his head dunked into a bathtub full of water by thugs to whom he owes an obscene amount of money. However, David's life is soon upended when a lawyer informs him that he's fathered no fewer than 533 children via his one and only talent: donating sperm. What initially serves as a slapstick set-up makes a surprising transition into dramatic territory when David begins to interact with his extremely diverse children. The film benefits greatly from Ken Scott's keen eye for detail and loving treatment of Montreal is represented through a vibrant color palette that accurately depicts the city's distinct beauty and culture. With a plot as outlandish as this, STARBUCK could easily be remade as a broader Hollywood comedy, but duplicating its rich and unique appeal won't come easy. - abridged and adapted from the Toronto International Film Festival
