Failure to Launch (2006)

"a cloying mess crying for another rewrite, or maybe just the quick mercy of being plunked into the nearest trash can "

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

"too dull to be fun, too inept to be engaging, and too low-rent FX-wise to be dazzling"

Fast Food Nation (2006)

"takes a documentary-like tone, with the melodrama coming from the system that keeps everyone down, and downing crap-filled meat. It's all the melodrama that's necessary."

Fay Grim (2007)

"Andrea Chase interviews Hal Hartley and Parker Posey about pain, humor, and the intensity of eye contact."

Feast of Love (2007)

"sacrifices any originality or piquancy to the safety of the familiar rendered with an uncertain narrative that in the end is truly, madly, deeply unsatisfying"

Fever Pitch (2005)

The Final Cut (2004)

"the plot creaks with wild coincidences, spotty writing, and twists that fail to thrill so much as make the audience groan in the face yet another cliché"

Finding Nemo (2003)

"the commentary, like the film, [is] worth more than one look, if for nothing else the reminiscences about the horrors of creating virtual jellyfish"

The Five Obstructions (2004)

"a startling revelation about how plastic, in the good sense, that cinema can be as art, as play, and as punishment."

Flawless (2007)

"a classy, smart, and fiendishly sly piece of filmmaking that keeps the audience on the edge of its seat"

Flushed Away (2006)

"FLUSHED AWAY is the rude title of a sometimes rude film, but one that unswervingly hews to an ebullient sense of whimsy"

Fly Me To The Moon (2008)

"Sure, it's kiddie film, but internal consistency would have been a nice touch"

The Fog (2005)

"a plot that has been reworked into something resembling crudely made hash"

Fool's Gold (2008)

"A sublimely ironic deconstruction of cinematic conventions? If only. What we have here is filmmaking that is forced, flimsy and flaky. At best."

For Your Consideration (2006)

"Caustic yet still playful enough (barely) to qualify as a comedy, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION is the darkest film to come from the Guest-Levy team"

Four Christmases (2008)

"There is no spark to the humor, there is no warmth to the drama. There is a tired plot that whips the essence of every Christmas movie ever made into a dreary slog"

Fracture (2007)

"One might reasonably think that watching two completely despicable characters would be repellent rather than entertaining, yet the tantalizing promise of a comeuppance or two completely avoids that trap"

Frantic (1987)

"While Polanski has style to spare, this retread of The Lady Vanishes never quite rises to the occasion."

Freedom Writers (2007)

"an intelligent film about complex issues, social and emotional, personal and professional, all handled in a way that challenges the audience rather than reassures or placates it."

Frida (2002)

". . .a feast for the senses, the mind, and the soul."

Frozen River (2008)

"Leo is the dynamo of the piece and Oscar(tm)-worthy doesn't begin to cover her work. This isn't a performance, it's an event."

Fun with Dick and Jane (1977)

"although there are a Dick and a Jane, there is no fun whatsovever"
