Starbucking

By Cheryl Cheng -- Video Business, 4/30/2007

HERETIC FILMS
Available now
> Coffee doc could put viewers to sleep.

Despite its title, this documentary is less about the ubiquitous coffee chain and more about the eccentric, highly caffeinated Winter, whose personal goal is to visit every Starbucks in the world. Viewers hoping for some sort of commentary about globalization or mass market penetration will be sorely disappointed. The purpose of Winter’s mission is “simply to do something completely different.”

Shelf Talk: This documentary’s closest kin is Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me, which had Spurlock taking on fast food chain McDonald’s, though Starbucking has far less substance. Heretic Films will promote its title with in-store appearances by Winter at—where else?—Starbucks.

Documentary, color, NR (adult themes), 73 min., DVD $19.95
Extras: commentary, seven additional scenes
Director: Bill Tangeman
First Run: DVD premiere
