Fantastic French Canadian Film

by dllfnn

This movie is so funny and Patrick Huard is fantastic as usual. The story is sweet as well as hilarious. Those who don't like it clearly don't understand French Canadian humor. It's well worth seeing....

A French comedy that pitches for wit over broad comedy, it's successful in salting what could be a over-sugary confection with healthy dose of wryness. The result is always entertaining and rarely mawkish. Read full review

There are certain plot points in Starbuck, it's true, that either don't make much sense or are simply underexplained. But the picture is so breezily warm, without being too insistently ingratiating, that those flaws don't matter much. Read full review

It’s a smidge too cute and a bit too long, but Huard and Scott make this comical journey (in French and “Franglish” with English subtitles), a trip from indifference to kindness, incompetence to responsibility, a most rewarding reinvention of what “family” can mean. Read full review
