Starbuck

Quebec

Rollicking good film about a ne'er-do-well meat delivery man who in his youth made money by donating to a sperm bank. He ended up the biological father of 533 children...who are now in their twenties and want to find out who their father is.

This was played as light farce and for the most part it worked. The schlub was a bit over-cooked at the beginning but became more human as the film wore on. There were many story possibilities...the filmmakers used a nice selection of types among the kids for variety...including one with a severe disability, a gay punk, a female junkie, etc.

The final reveal was nicely played and held my interest to the end. Oddly quiet final scene which may have been intended as a grace note but seemed off.
