Splat 2/4 |
Factory Girl (2007) |
"[Sedgwick] mostly just seems like an irresponsible girl without any real dreams, who blew all her money and only wound up in rehab when she couldn't pay her rent anymore." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3/4 |
Factotum (2006) |
"Factotum exists in a dryly comic world of woozy indifference, and it holds your attention in the same soft but secure way that Henry clutches a bottle." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/4 |
Failure to Launch (2006) |
"Like Tripp, Failure to Launch has a good heart but would be better off moving out of familiar territory." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Fall (2008) |
"Gorgeous as it is, the film would be little more than a beautifully pointless exercise in style without the intensely believable performances." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Fall (2008) |
"Repetitive and really pretentious, but anyone with a taste for visual splendor won't complain." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/5 |
Fame (2009) |

Matt Pais |
Tomato 3/5 |
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"The humor comes and goes in Fantastic Mr. Fox, but a punchy spirit remains that makes this a zippy, reasonably enjoyable ride." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/5 |
Fast & Furious (2009) |
"'The cast was available' is no reason to make a sequel." |
Matt Pais |

Matt Pais |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Fat Girls (2007) |
"The jokes aren't funny, the characters aren't interesting and the budget is obviously so low you can't help but wonder how they could afford songs by Air Supply and Spandau Ballet." |
Geoff Berkshire |

"Forget the plural; this won't even scare you once." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fearless (2006) |
"With precisely choreographed fight sequences and a no-nonsense lesson about honor and self-control, Li kicks his way out of the genre with class." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Feast of Love (2007) |
"The movie confuses puppy love with the real thing, and that's why Feast of Love is such a dog." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/5 |
Feel the Noise (2007) |
"An awkwardly executed drama with a leading man better suited for the concert stage, not the movie screen." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 1/5 |
Fierce People (2007) |
"Miscalculated at every level, it's a vacant drama full of ineptly drawn characters." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3/5 |
Fighting (2009) |
"The film's a watchable and forgettable cliché stack, with a cherry on top." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Fighting for Life (2008) |
"The graphic imagery drives home the toll that war takes without the need for sermonizing." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 2/5 |
Filth and Wisdom (2008) |

Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 0.5/5 |
The Final Destination (2009) |

Matt Pais |
Splat 1/5 |
The Final Season (2007) |

Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Find Me Guilty (2006) |

Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Finding Amanda (2008) |
"An uncle watching his niece pick up a john should sting, not feel like we're meant to snicker at the uncomfortable look on Broderick's face." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Finishing the Game (2007) |
"Has little respect for its source, using it only as a reason to watch foolish, untalented actors prove just how foolish and untalented they can be." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Fired Up (2009) |
"How this idea escaped its logical fate as a direct-to-DVD Bring It On 6: It's the Boys' Turn! is anyone's guess." |

"A tense, sad reminder that there's no more persistent attacker than the past." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) |
"Makes its mark in the moments when war is fought man-to-man--when we can see on these young soldiers' faces that home is far, far away." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3/5 |
Flakes (2007) |
"There's enough breezy charm on display to make it worth a look on cable, DVD or at a bargain matinee." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Flame & Citron (2008) |
"A consistently serious, well-acted effort. It's also, at 130 minutes, a bit of a slog at points." |

Splat 2.5/5 |
Flawless (2007) |
"Priority numero uno in a heist movie should be making the robbery giddily dangerous, but Flawless has all the sizzle of a bank teller on Monday morning." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008) |
"Receives a big boost from bleached-blonde leading lady Binoche, whose showy mood-swings qualify as action set-pieces." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Flushed Away (2006) |
"A guaranteed good time for any member of the family ... easily this year's best animated movie." |

"Never really reveals what makes this cyclist's wheels turn." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 4/5 |
Food, Inc. (2009) |

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) |
"Finally, the pairing of Jackie Chan and Jet Li--in a story about someone else." |
