Factory Girl (2007) |
"Sienna Miller is perfectly cast but the script barely scratches the surface and you never really get inside any of the characters." |

Failure to Launch (2006) |
"As a romantic comedy this is very aptly titled, but it earns an extra star for Zooey Deschanel's bonkers performance. They should have made the film all about her." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Faintheart (2008) |
"Watchable, by-the-numbers romantic comedy with a few decent gags and a strong performance from Eddie Marsan." |

Tomato 4/5 |
The Fall (2008) |

Tomato 3/5 |
Fame (2009) |

The Family Man (2000) |
"Perfect feel-good Christmas-period family entertainment. Highly recommended." |

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is an enjoyable sequel that delivers humour, likeable characters, great special effects and plenty of comic book-style action, though fans hoping for a glimpse of Galactus should prepare for disappointment." |

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"A hugely enjoyable comedy adventure that will appeal to both adults and kids and is a treat for both Anderson fans and animation aficionados alike." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 5/5 |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"Beautifully acted, sumptuously photographed melodrama from director Todd Haynes -- if Julianne Moore doesn't win the Best Actress Oscar there is, officially, no justice." |

Fast & Furious (2009) |
"Fast and Furious gets off to a terrific start but quickly runs out of gas, thanks to a lazy script and some unimaginative action sequences." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"High-octane action thriller that does exactly what it says on the tin: fast cars, great stunts, cool characters and a halfway-decent plot, it’s B-movie heaven." |
Matthew Turner |

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) |
"If you like things that go vroom, then this has your name spray-painted all over it. Trashy, but fun." |

Fermat's Room (2008) |
"It's not as exciting or as clever as it thinks it is and is essentially sub-par Agatha Christie mixed with Cube." |

Fifty Dead Men Walking (2009) |
"Despite a strong performance from Sturgess, Fifty Dead Men Walking is ultimately let down by a lack of tension, an uneven script and the shocking miscasting of Rose McGowan." |

Flashbacks of a Fool (2008) |
"Impressively directed and superbly acted by a terrific cast, this is both a nostalgia-fuelled coming-of-age tale and a genuinely moving drama about making peace with the past." |
