Starbuck is a 2011 Canadian comedy film directed by Ken Scott and written by Scott and Martin Petit.[3] It stars Patrick Huard (Bon Cop, Bad Cop) as the main character, Antoine Bertrand as his friend/lawyer, and Julie Le Breton as his girlfriend.

The film's title refers to a Canadian Holstein bull, named Hanoverhill Starbuck, who produced hundreds of thousands of progeny by artificial insemination in the 1980s and 1990s.[4]
