    French Kissers (2009)

    " Written in the ink of painful experience, Raid Sattouf's screenplay rests his humour on reality; like Absolutely Fabulous the material is serious to the point of tragedy. These characters survive emotionally by the skin of their teeth; a few don't"

    Funny People (2009)

    " A surfeit of the kind of crude, sexually graphic jokes that work in a darkly lit stand up comedy stores and Adam Sandler's unremittingly morose George drag the film down"

    Fired Up (2009)

    " Most of the characters are unappealing in many ways; many of the girls are air heads with so little nous as to be embarrassing. Most of the young males are either obnoxious, self obsessed caricatures, sexual predators without teeth, or nerds"

    Fast & Furious (2009)

    Fay Grim (2007)

    " Slyly, almost imperceptibly comedic, Fay Grim is indeed a film by Hal Hartley, who wrote, directed, edited and scored the film. But it's also Parker Posey's film"

    Flawless (2007)

    " Demi Moore is excellent as the catalyst for the crime caper with a profoundly personal motive, something we don't discover until late in the film, and Michael Caine is wonderfully dry as the office cleaner with an agenda"
