Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of checking out the charming comedy Starbuck, a feature directed by Ken Scott about a slacker (Patrick Huard) who discovers he’s the father of 533 kids thanks to his past exploits as a sperm donor.

It’s been an amazing couple of years for Channing Tatum, mainly thanks to his successful work with director Steven Soderbergh on Haywire, Magic Mike, and Side Effects. He’s also shown his comedic prowess with 21 Jump Street and continued to cultivate a core chick flick audience with The Vow.
