“Starbuck” is easy watching, even if not totally satisfying with its episodic sentimental manipulations and a romantic side of the story that turned out flat. Full Review and Rating: http://alwayswatchgoodmovies.blogspot.com/2013/03/starbuck-2011.html

The premise is farcical enough to make for a good comedy, but sadly Starbuck is not as funny as it should have been. It's also way too sentimental for my taste. That said, "Starbuck" has a couple of things going for it: a warm and funny performance by Patrick Huard and the fact that everyone speaks with a thick French Canadian accent, which in itself is an endless source of unintentional comedy.
