Critic Reviews

  • Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

    A high-concept comedy that peddles some slapstick laughs and life lessons but little insight.

  • Tom Long, Detroit News

    This is froth, but it's good froth.

  • Soren Anderson, Seattle Times

  • John Anderson, Newsday

  • Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

    Starbuck is a hilarious, witty, and heartwarming with a star-making performance from Patrick Huard. Uneven though it may be, this dramedy goes in all kinds of directions and keeps you engrossed. See it by any means possible!

    It is surprising that no one has ever thought about this intriguing idea before. The premise is so original, developed with plenty of humor and tenderness and making for a delightful great time. A feel-good movie that had me thinking how lucky Starbuck is.

    I want you to imagine this film in a US/Hollywood version. Image the crude humour a film about this subject matter would encompass. Then watch this lovely Canadian film, with all its endearing characters, well-scripted humour and lighthearted entertainment. Wonderful, sweet, funny.… More
