'''''Starbuck''''' is a 2011 [[Cinema of Quebec|French Canadian]] [[comedy film]] directed by [[Ken Scott (writer)|Ken Scott]] and co-written by Scott and [[Martin Petit]].
Comedy partners Scott and Petit used the premise to explore fatherhood roles, which are the central theme of the film, with the tragicomic protagonist finding redemption through fatherhood. Critical reception to the film was mixed; some praised Huard's performance and the story which mixed comedy with heartfelt moments, while others felt that the film was overly sentimental. It was the [[Golden Screen Award (Canada)|top-grossing Canadian film]] of 2011, won two [[Genie Awards]] and numerous [[audience award]]s at film festivals, and appeared on best-film lists in ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' and ''[[The Globe and Mail]]''. The film was remade in 2013 as ''[[Delivery Man (film)|Delivery Man]]'' and as ''[[Fonzy]]''.
==Plot==
David's best friend
In the meantime, David reconciles with Valérie, taking her for an [[Obstetric ultrasonography|ultrasound]] and bringing her to dinner with his family. It is revealed that he sent his family on a [[Tourism in Venice|vacation to Venice]] when his mother was terminally ill, which was secretly funded by his sperm donation fees.<ref name="PressFatherhood"/> The press sensationally report on the class action suit as it goes to court and Starbuck is maligned in editorials. David decides to identify himself, but when the thugs assault his father he agrees with his lawyer to sue the sperm bank for [[damages]]. He wins both suits, receiving $200,000 and his identity remains secret.
David has regrets, but revealing his identity would require him to return the money and place his family in danger. However, his father buys out David's share of the family business to pay his debt, and David sends an email to the media identifying himself as Starbuck. He goes to Valérie's house and discovers that she is going into [[premature labour]] and rides with her to the hospital, where the healthy baby is born. He proposes to Valérie, tells her that he is Starbuck, and defends himself as a father. Dozens of the donor children gather to see him and their new brother, whom they shower with baby gifts.

==Development and production==
The film was co-written by Ken Scott and Martin Petit, former members of comedy troupe Les Bizarroïdes.<ref name="FIFF"/> It was their first collaboration in a decade when they began writing the film in 2009.<ref name="LemieuxInterview"/> Petit had the initial idea to tell the story of an irresponsible middle-aged man who had made numerous sperm donations for money and was the donor father to hundreds of grown children.<ref name="KellyOpen"/> They first set the number of donor children at 200, which seemed comedically absurd to them. However, during development, they learned of a man who had 500 donor children by artificial insemination,{{efn|name="DonorControversy"|Sperm donation had become an issue of controversy and debate in the 2000s as registries like the [[Donor Sibling Registry]] appeared and the wave of donor children born in the 1980s and 1990s (when sperm donation had gained popularity) became adults. The growing databases revealed instances of anonymous donors who had spread rare genetic diseases.<ref name="GradySperm"/><ref name="NguyenSite"/> They also revealed large numbers of donor children sharing the same biological father in a single community.<ref name="Mroz2011"/> With donor children of similar ages, genetically predisposed to sharing the same interests, the chances of them meeting and becoming romantically involved are high, and their children would be more likely to have birth defects.<ref name="PacatteReview"/>}} and increased their number <!--to 533-->to bring the script in line with reality.<ref name="TelejournalFilming"/><ref name="OliveiraDirector"/>
Fathers of young children, Scott and Petit saw the absurd premise as a way to explore issues of modern fatherhood and "to look at every possible aspect of paternity."<ref name="KellyOpen"/><ref name="McGinnInterview"/> In particular, they wanted to look at delayed fatherhood and how father roles had changed in the previous fifteen years.<ref name="OliveiraDirector"/><ref name="KingRemakes"/> Making David a guardian angel to the donor children allowed them to show the character acting as a father in different situations before becoming a father.<ref name="McGinnInterview"/>
The donor children were initially written as stereotypes – the handicapped, the actor, the drug user – and were not fleshed out with names and details until later in the process.<ref name="Allocine"/> These descriptive terms are retained in the film's credits for many of these roles, along with David's brothers and lawyer.<ref name="LemieuxInterview"/> Most of the young actors cast for the donor children were relative unknowns, making their first feature film performances.<ref name="Allocine"/>
The title comes from the [[Dairy farming in Canada|Canadian]] [[Holstein Friesian|Holstein]] bull [[Hanoverhill Starbuck]], which was prized by the [[Artificial Insemination Centre of Quebec]] (Centre d'Insémination artificielle du Québec, CIAQ) for its genetics.<ref name="Allocine"/><ref name="KnightReview"/> It sired more than 200,000 cows through artificial insemination<ref name="TelejournalFilming"/> during its 19-year life.<ref name="KnightReview"/>
''Starbuck'' was produced by André Rouleau of Montreal-based [[Caramel Films]]<ref name="PlaybackDreamworks" /> on a budget of $6 million.<ref name="MasseBollywood"/> It received funding from [[Telefilm Canada]]'s Canadian Feature Film Fund<ref name="TelefilmGrants"/> and from the Quebecor fund. From financing to the completion of production took two years.<ref name="DeMaraDirector"/>
Filming commenced on 15 September 2010.<ref name="CPFilming"/> Most of the film was shot in the [[Mile End, Montreal|Mile End]] district of Montreal, a multicultural neighbourhood which informed the production design.<ref name="Allocine"/> The professional soccer scenes were filmed at [[Saputo Stadium]] with the participation of the [[Montreal Impact (1992–2011)|Montreal Impact]] soccer club, during their 19 September 2010 match against the [[Tampa Bay Rowdies]].<ref name="CPImpact"/>
[[Pierre Gill]] served as director of photography with production design by Danielle Labrie and music by David Lafleche. Costume design was by Sharon Scott. The film was edited to 108 minutes by [[Yvann Thibaudeau]].<ref name="THRreview"/><ref name="TIFFstarbuck"/> Dialog is in [[Quebec French]] with subtitles in other regions and countries, including in France for certain passages.<ref name="MilleliriReview"/>
==Themes==
Paternity is the central theme of the film.<ref name="McSorley2012"/> Film critic Jay Stone wrote that ''Starbuck''{{'}}s David belongs to a new generation of fathers in film, neither an idealized role model nor a bumbling incompetent, but a character who is "both comic and tragic [as he] connects with the children he doesn't know".<ref name="StoneFather"/> Meeting the donor children as adults, David must put aside preconceived expectations and accept the children for who they are.<ref name="DebrugeDelivery"/> There are the talented ones (e.g.: the sports star and the actor), the cool ones (the lifeguard and the busker), and the worrying ones (the drug user, the promiscuous homosexual and the goth).<ref name="MooreReview"/><ref name="TempsReview"/> As David helps to improve the lives of several of the donor children,<ref name="Nelson2014"/> the story reveals that David has always been giving, despite this being the cause of many of his misfortunes.<ref name="KnightReview"/> This selflessness reveals a talent for being a father<ref name="DeMaraDirector"/> and David finds redemption through fatherhood.<ref name="Nelson2014"/>
While most of the film focuses on ties between David and the donor children, David is surrounded by other fathers: his own, his best friend, and his brothers who both have children.<ref name="Allocine"/> Scenes between David and his father discuss the importance of being present in the lives of one's children,<ref name="KellyOpen"/> and the perspective of fatherhood improves David's relationship with his father.<ref name="TIFFgala"/>
Sociologist Margaret Nelson found that, like other popular North American films involving [[assisted reproductive technologies]],{{efn|The Hollywood sperm-donor movies referenced by Nelson are [[Made in America (1993 film)|''Made in America'']] (1993), [[The Switch (2010 film)|''The Switch'']], ''[[The Back-up Plan]]'', and [[The Kids Are All Right (film)|''The Kids Are All Right'']] (all 2010).<ref name="Nelson2014"/>}} ''Starbuck'' reinforces the [[nuclear family]]. David's numerous genetic children are shown throughout the film to be isolated from other family relationships: no birth mothers, adoptive fathers, or other siblings are shown or referenced. The genetic tie between David and the donor children is shown as an irresistible bond, reaching a climax in the extended group hug after David announces that a new "brother" has joined their family. However, Nelson found that the conclusion places David's heart with Valérie and their new son, while the donor children are reduced to a battalion of babysitters.<ref name="Nelson2014"/>{{efn|The film closes with the busker performing a song in a subway station corridor, surrounded by the other donor children. It is notably the film's only scene in which David is absent.<ref name="OliveiraDirector"/>}} Nonetheless, film critic Roger Moore found ''Starbuck'' to be "a most rewarding reinvention of what ''family'' can mean."<ref name="MooreReview"/>
== Release ==
''Starbuck'' was distributed by [[Les Films Christal]] in Quebec and by parent company [[Entertainment One]] in English Canada.<ref name="PlaybackGolden"/><ref name="PlaybackPalm"/><ref name="PlaybackUS"/> The film had its world premiere on 21 June 2011 at the [[National Arts Centre (building)|National Arts Centre]] in Ottawa, hosted by [[Minister of Canadian Heritage|Heritage Minister]] [[James Moore (Canadian politician)|James Moore]].<ref name="PhillipsPremiere"/> The film opened across the province of Quebec on 27 July.<ref name="KellyOpen"/> The film had a gala presentation at [[Roy Thompson Hall]] on 14 September as part of the [[2011 Toronto International Film Festival]] (TIFF).<ref name="PlaybackTIFF"/><ref name="TLgala"/><ref name="TIFFgala"/> It then had a limited release in English Canada on 23 September<ref name="OliveiraDirector"/> (with subtitles<ref name="BraunReview"/>).
In February 2012, Telefilm Canada announced that ''Starbuck'' had been sold in 101 countries, making it among their best international performers.<ref name="CPsales"/> Rouleau gave credit for much of the international sales to a press and industry screening of ''Starbuck'' at TIFF, where there was enough excitement to generate sales for major markets including bidding wars for France and Spain.<ref name="DunlevyBox"/><ref name="KingRemakes"/> Further sales occurred at the [[Berlin International Film Festival]].<ref name="DunlevyBox"/>
''Starbuck'' opened in France on 27 June 2012, with a wide release of 190 screens.<ref name="DolbecFrance"/>{{efn|The French release benefited from good promotion and word-of-mouth, the success of ''[[La grande séduction]]'' (Scott's previous screenplay), press releases regarding the Hollywood remake, the provoking premise<ref name="DolbecFrance"/> and generally positive reviews.<ref name="DolbecFrance"/><ref name="DolbecReviews"/>}} After attracting 100,000 admissions in its first week, attendance unusually held steady at 25,000 to 30,000 admissions per week for the following six weeks. On French cinema website ''[[AlloCiné]]'', the film ranked as users' second-favourite movie of the summer, behind ''[[The Dark Knight Rises]]''.<ref name="DolbecReviews"/>
Starbuck was shown as part of the Canada Front showcase by Telefilm Canada in association with the [[Museum of Modern Art]] (MoMA) as its New York City premiere in March 2012.<ref name="TelefilmMOMA"/> Following appearances on the film festival circuit, ''Starbuck'' had a limited US release in New York City and Los Angeles on 22 March 2013.<ref name="NumbersUS"/><ref name="KingRemakes"/>
The film was released in China on 12 April 2013<ref name="TVAChina"/> on more than 2,000 screens.<ref name="TelefilmChina"/>
The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray in Canada the week of 26 November 2011.<ref name="KnightDVD"/><ref name="KirklandReview"/>

Many critics complimented the writing and direction. Dave McGinn of ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' wrote that Scott "deftly balances" the comedy and drama.<ref name="McGinnReview"/> McGinn and ''[[National Post]]'' chief film critic Chris Knight agreed that the expressive writing was so genuine as to lend credulity to the more outlandish scenes.<ref name="McGinnReview"/><ref name="KnightReview" /> Bruce DeMara of the ''[[Toronto Star]]'' wrote that it was full of surprises, alternating between laughs and tenderness, and always intelligent.<ref name="DemaraReview"/> Bruce Kirkland, of the ''[[Toronto Sun]]'' called it a "perfect balance [of] crazy comedy and heart-wrenching drama."<ref name="KirklandReview"/> However, Charlotte O'Sullivan of the ''[[London Evening Standard]]'' wrote that it lacked momentum and a cohesive tone<ref name="OSullivanReview"/> and Radheyan Simonpillai of ''[[Now (newspaper)|Now]]'' found the film to be devoid of substance, logic or realism, with an uninspired resolution.<ref name="SimonpillaiReview"/>
[[Image:Starbuck 2011 film group hug.jpg|thumb|An extended group hug in the maternity ward has been called the film's most "{{abbr|syrupy|overly sweet}}" moment.<ref name="THRreview"/><ref name="TempsReview"/><ref name="HoldenReview"/><ref name="SmithReview"/>]]
Several critics commented on the emotional tone of the film. ''[[Tribute (magazine)|Tribute]]'' called it "one of the most heartwarming films you could ever see."<ref name="Tribute"/> Maxime Demers of ''[[Le Journal de Montréal]]'' wrote that the film "{{lang|fr|touche en plein coeur, en abordant avec délicatesse et originalité}}" (English: touches the heart, with delicacy and originality).<ref name="DemersReview"/> DeMara called it "sweet and poignant".<ref name="DemaraReview"/> Hertz wrote that it was "as potent as these kind of amiable comedies come", full of sincerity.<ref name="Hertz2023" /> Rose Pacatte of the ''[[National Catholic Reporter]]'' called the film "extremely funny [and] heartwarming".<ref name="PacatteReview"/> A review in ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' noted that the Caramel Films production was not overly sweet.<ref name="THRreview"/> Kirkland wrote that "the emotional depth is legitimate [and] not overly sentimental".<ref name="KirklandReview"/> However, also writing for the ''Sun'', Liz Braun called the film "somewhat dopey" and falsely sweet.<ref name="BraunReview"/> John Anderson of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' and Matthew Taylor of ''[[Sight and Sound]]'' felt that the film suffered from moments of excessively sentimentality.<ref name="AndersonReview"/><ref name="TaylorReview"/> Stephen Holden of ''[[The New York Times]]'' found the film to be "shamelessly sentimental".<ref name="HoldenReview"/> A review in ''[[Le Temps]]'' also found it to be overly sentimental, linking this to "{{lang|fr|la maladresse et les grands sentiments inhérents au cinéma québécois}}" (English: the strong yet awkward emotionality typical of Quebec cinema).<ref name="TempsReview"/> Film critic Roger Moore wrote that the key moment of the film is the meeting of the plaintiffs, where David's overwhelmed emotions resolve into pride. At this point, he wrote, the audience either accepts or rejects the film's tone and all that follows.<ref name="MooreInterview"/>
Huard's performance was praised by Anderson,<ref name="AndersonReview"/> Hertz,<ref name="Hertz2023" /> Knight<ref name="KnightReview" /> and Taylor.<ref name="TaylorReview"/> Stephen Cole of the ''Globe and Mail'' wrote that the film succeeded on the performance of the comedian "who can flip, flop and fly off a diving board while maintaining his sex appeal."<ref name="ColeReview"/> Steven Boone of ''[[RogerEbert.com]]'' recommended the film based on Huard's performance, writing that his "warmth and passionate concern ... sell this movie's humanist spirit".<ref name="BooneReview"/> Bertrand's performance was also praised. Taylor stated that Bertrand delivered the film's funniest moment in a post-trial scene on the courthouse steps.<ref name="TaylorReview"/> Carole Milleliri of ''Critikat'' wrote that Bertrand's performance was a complimentary blend of [[Seth Rogen]] and [[Jonah Hill]]<ref name="MilleliriReview"/> while Moore compared Bertrand to [[Oliver Platt]].<ref name="MooreReview"/>
Some of the movie's promotional material referenced the works of filmmaker [[Judd Apatow]],<ref name="DeMaraDirector"/> a comparison which was validated by critics Boone<ref name="BooneReview"/> and Milleliri.<ref name="MilleliriReview"/> Demers and Kelly compared the writing to Scott's previous screenplay for ''[[Seducing Doctor Lewis]]'', which also blended comedy and drama.<ref name="KellyOpen"/><ref name="DemersReview"/> [[Peter Bradshaw]] stated in his review in ''[[The Guardian]]'' a belief that ''Starbuck'' was based on the same true story as the 2010 documentary ''[[Donor Unknown]]'' and faulted it for losing "almost all the charm of the real story".<ref name="Bradshaw2012"/> Debruge compared the film's comedic tone to that of ''[[My Big Fat Greek Wedding]]''.<ref name="Debruge2013"/> Taylor compared David's "guardian angel" mission to the premise of ''[[My Name is Earl]]'', in which the title character tries to redeem himself by performing good deeds for those he previously wronged.<ref name="TaylorReview"/>

==Controversies==
The comedy's treatment of its subject matter sparked controversy over anonymous sperm donation, which protects the donor but can lead to harm for the donor children.<ref name="Degroult2014"/><ref name="SEMINCIprogram"/> In particular, when there are large groups of donor children with the same biological father in a community, there is risk of overrepresented genetic diseases and of [[accidental incest]].{{efn|name="DonorControversy"}} At the time, there were no legal prohibitions in North America limiting the number of children conceived through artificial insemination from a single man.<ref name="SEMINCIprogram"/>
Guillaume Cochin, author of the 2007 novel ''Spermatofolie'', and publishers Editions Jean-Claude Gawsewitch alleged plagiarism against the authors of ''Starbuck''. The filmmakers denied this or being aware of the novel.<ref name="LauzonPlagiarism"/> In September 2012, the publisher's lawyer filed for copyright infringement in the French high court, claiming 3 million Euros.<ref name="DemersPlagiarism"/><ref name="WalterPlagiarism"/>{{efn|An absence of news coverage after August 2012 suggests that the infringement lawsuit was unsuccessful or settled through the production's insurance.}}

The artwork ''The Commerce of Infertility'' (2013) by [[Andi Arnovitz]] was inspired by ''Starbuck'' and the events on which the film is based. It consists of 400 plastic babies with price tags, each encased in resin to resemble ice cubes, arranged in a grid.
