Storyline
At 42, David lives the life of an irresponsible adolescent. He coasts through life with minimal effort and maintains a complicated relationship with Valerie, a young policewoman. Just as she tells him she's pregnant, David's past resurfaces. Twenty years earlier, he began providing sperm to a fertility clinic in exchange for money. He discovers he's the father of 533 children, 142 of whom have filed a class action lawsuit to determine the identity of their biological father, known only by the pseudonym Starbuck.
My friends and I went to the theater to see another movie tonight but
arrived too late, so on a whim we decided to check out Starbuck and it
was actually so good.
It was so funny, my friends and I were cracking up. It's also very
character driven and there are a ton of lovely moments that make you
love the characters as they struggle to make decisions. Starbuck is
totally heart warming as you start to see the altruistic spirit rise
from his funny pathetic starting point.
I can't wait to recommend it to my friends and family, so that's why i
am writing this review at one in the morning... so... check it out.
