Starbuck Ratings & Reviews
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
A high-concept comedy that peddles some slapstick laughs and life lessons but little insight.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
What begins as a cute idea grows annoyingly sentimental before it is through.
Detroit News
Tom Long
This is froth, but it's good froth.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
Rather than a jolting shot of joe, this French-Canadian comedy is a soothing cup of warm cocoa.
Newsday
John Anderson
"Starbuck" is essentially a situation comedy, but what a situation.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Never mind high concept, this is high conception.
Chicago Sun-Times
Steven Boone
"Starbuck" is one of those high-concept yet formulaic, sitcom-like comedies that gets by on charm and speed.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's silly and a bit sappy, but it works, in a crowd-pleasing way.
NPR
Stephanie Zacharek
Director Ken Scott, who also cowrote the script with Martin Petit, has fashioned a story that starts out low-key and gradually builds in its emotional expansiveness.
Chicago Reader
Drew Hunt
Director Ken Scott stresses the movie's dude-centric outlook, playing up the anxieties of impending fatherhood, and neglects any sort of maternal perspective, which dumbs down an already moronic premise.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Bertrand does his jelly-belly best to keep "Starbuck" a comedy. But even the broadest shtick can't prevent a movie that features a Busby Berkeley-style group hug from becoming a male weepie.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
The Citizen Kane of sperm-donor comedies.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Geniality and mild laughs aren't enough to sustain interest in this predictable effort, especially given the dragged-out running time.
Los Angeles Times
Amy Nicholson
As amiable art-house fluff, it's a passable way to kill time before the Vince Vaughn American remake later this year.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Starbuck" is up to its eyeballs in mush. You may want to regurgitate.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
"Starbuck" is more than the sum of its calculations, though not a whole lot more.
Back Stage
Tim Grierson
If nothing else, this might be the most heartwarming film ever made about masturbating into a plastic cup for money.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A high-concept goof that's hard-pressed to surmount its twee preposterousness.
Village Voice
Jon Frosch
An ostensibly feel-good French-Canadian comedy about artificial insemination gone awry, Ken Scott's Starbuck mainly makes you feel like taking a shower.
Slant Magazine
Tomas Hachard
Yet another example of modern-family predicaments getting stuffed into the traditional-family-values message of conventional comedies.
