Directed by Ken Scott

2011103 min6.9 / 10

A comedic exploration of unexpected fatherhood and maturation, where a man-child must confront the consequences of his past and grow up for the sake of his biological children and his pregnant girlfriend.

David Wozniak is a perpetual adolescent who discovers that, as a sperm donor, he has fathered 533 children. He is advised that more than 100 of his offspring are trying to force the fertility clinic to reveal the true identity of "Starbuck," the pseudonym he used when donating his sperm. To make matters worse, his girlfriend Valérie is pregnant with his child, but doesn't feel that he is mature enough to be a father.
