Factotum (2006) |
"It's an absorbing, hypnotic piece of scotch-soaked filmmaking." |

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"Not just a scathing indictment against the President... but a deeply patriotic movie which reminds us of the principal tenets which makes a true democracy so great." |
Edward Havens |

Failure to Launch (2006) |
"This is a bloated SNL sketch comedy film, complete with Terry Bradshaw nudity and a cast pausing for the audience to laugh." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"Even with an empty tank of ideas by the end of the picture, Stone still remains worthy of a view, providing that desired blast of familial idiosyncrasies just in time for the holiday season." |

Fanboys (2009) |
"Probably the closest thing my generation will get to having its own "Diner"" |

Fantastic Four (2005) |
"Potential audiences would be better entertained by reading all the reviews to see how many synonyms can be used for the word "bad." And it would be much cheaper, too." |

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) |
"Having lived through many a Minnesota winter, call me unimpressed to see a bunch of toy cars swerving wildly around city streets." |

Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"Linklater has mostly missed a golden opportunity to not only create an enduring work of art but to shame an industry into changing their ways." |
Edward Havens |

Fat Albert (2004) |
"Albert doesn’t embarrass the original creation like it had every right to do, and delivers the Cosby-infused world with minimal pushing or shoving." |

The Favor (1994) |

Fearless (2006) |
"In this day and age when the world grows more unstable by the second, Li's efforts here to encourage reflection on the ideas of inner peace and the uselessness of violence are resoundingly welcome." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B |
Fever Pitch (2005) |
"Pitch is a sweet concoction, a valentine to the Red Sox, and a genial romantic comedy. It may not hit a home run, but it has some good hustle to it." |

Fierce People (2007) |
"Too bad this wasn't made twenty-five years ago, when it still had a chance of being accepted by the masses because it was quirky." |

The Final Cut (2004) |
"The Final Cut is a subdued experience that can't overcome some critical editing flaws." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat D |
Final Destination 3 (2006) |
"To get to the good stuff, you have to sit through atrocious dialog, amateur acting, and a snail's pace, and maybe there's 15 minutes of good material here." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat C- |
Find Me Guilty (2006) |
"The action star can't keep pace with the rest of the film, and fails to provide the ribbons of charm that helped DiNorscio win the hearts of the jurors and the respect of the lawyers." |

Tomato A- |
Find Me Guilty (2006) |
"For those of you who complain the ubiquitous "they" don't make films like they used to, here's your chance to give "them" a reason to make more." |

Finding Neverland (2004) |
"Neverland is a heartfelt movie that manages to evoke the magic of "Peter Pan" in the most refreshingly basic, unexpected ways." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato A+ |
Finding Neverland (2004) |
"A powerful work which embraces the joys of life and the neverending spirit of imagination, equally heartwarming and heartbreaking, often at the same time." |

The First $20 Million is Always the Hardest (2002) |
"No way I can believe this load of junk." |

First Daughter (2004) |
"After sitting through two of these stories now, I can say with authority that being the President’s daughter must be the most boring job in the world." |

First Descent (2005) |
"Descent might appeal to those who are curious about the sport, but I have trouble believing it will convert anyone." |

The First Saturday in May (2008) |
"While competently made and an overall enjoyable experience for those with a less-than-passing interest in racing, the film will likely be only of interest to the deep-rooted fan." |

First Snow (2007) |
"It's quite admirable of Guy Pearce to try and eschew a Hollywood career, [but] if he keeps making films like First Snow..." |

Flags of Our Fathers (2006) |
"While not Eastwood at his most authoritative, Flags of our Fathers still resonates beautifully with a portrait of lost souls searching for meaning" |

Flicka (2006) |
"There's nothing friendly about this joyless and repellently melodramatic family film." |
Brian Orndorf |

Flight of the Phoenix (2004) |
"Flight of the Phoenix is a rare breed. It joins the small group of films in which the audience may actually wish that the characters do not achieve their goal: to live." |

Flightplan (2005) |
"Flightplan is a good example of Foster’s uncanny ability to make almost any material work." |

Flightplan (2005) |
"Good performances and striking looks are meaningless if your story falls apart when the tensions should be ratcheting up to unbearable level" |
Edward Havens |
Tomato B |
Flushed Away (2006) |
"The directors keep the material dancing at a neck-breaking velocity, bouncing the zingers around like a tennis ball fight, and pushing the voice talent to match the speed of the animated shenanigans." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat C- |
The Forgotten (2004) |
"The Forgotten has a foundation built for thrills and twists, but somewhere in development, the material was thrashed by the stick of stupidity." |
Brian Orndorf |

Forty Shades of Blue (2005) |
"So shallow and abhorrent, one might find themselves trying to think of all the different shades of blue mentioned in the title instead of paying attention to what's going on" |
Edward Havens |

Four Brothers (2005) |
"Singleton, who has never managed to make a movie that didn’t fall completely apart, does Brothers a great favor by sticking so close to the lunacy." |
Brian Orndorf |

Freedomland (2005) |
"Without the fanfare of award-bating media hype to act as a blanket, Freedomland is fully revealed to be the anemic, idiotically observed film that it is." |
Brian Orndorf |

Friday Night Lights (2004) |
"Lights only diverts narrative tedium when the gladiators take the field; effectively drowning out the nonsense that eventually takes place off the field." |

Friends With Money (2006) |
"Holofcener achieves success with sharply written dialog, and four wonderful actresses who give Friends with Money a frightening dramatic authenticity." |

Fuck (2006) |
"The more steely and mischievous should have a blast with this creative and revealing, virtually unmarqueeable documentary." |
