Face (2004) |
"It's a tale worth telling again -- especially if you feel the material as strongly as recent Columbia film-school grad Bertha Bay-Sa Pan seems to." |

Facing Windows (2003) |
"Gets off to a worthy start, but falls apart about halfway through." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Factory Girl (2007) |
"Miller is wincingly good at playing up the innocence, with her junior high school declarations ('there's always hope') and the politely vacuous laugh she seems to deliver from her front teeth." |
Kyle Smith |

Factotum (2006) |
"A seamy and funny adaptation of Charles Bukowski's 1975 novel Factotum." |

Failure to Launch (2006) |

Falling (2007) |
"Barbara Albert, the director-writer of the Austrian soaper Falling, probably never thought to call her film One Wedding and a Funeral, but it would have been an appropriate title." |

Splat 1/4 |
Fame (2009) |
"A desperate, cynical -- and most likely unsuccessful -- attempt by a dying studio to stave off oblivion by jumping on the High School Musical bandwagon, exploiting one of its legacy titles in ways that dishonor the original." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2/4 |
Family Law (2006) |
"Director-writer Daniel Burman follows the two lawyers through their daily chores. Little of consequence happens, and the lack of drama will keep viewers from caring about the characters." |

Fantasia 2000 (1999) |
"More than lives up to its clever positioning as the first movie of the new millennium." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1/4 |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"A perfect storm of wooden acting, hackneyed direction, inane scripting and laughably cartoonish special effects produces a shapeless mess more wearyingly stupid than arch-villian Dr. Doom is evil." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2/4 |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"These B-list demigods are so proudly, intergalactically mediocre that both the 2005 original and the follow-up tend to disable my super-snark beam." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |

Fast & Furious (2009) |
"The stars look bored out of their minds when the fourth episode of the franchise stalls between racing sequences, which is all too often in a flick where 106 minutes speed by in what feels like at least four hours." |

Fat Girl (2001) |
"So daring and unsparing in its depiction of the psyche and experience of adolescent girls that it's hard to imagine an audience that wouldn't find it deeply provocative despite a slow pace." |
Jonathan Foreman |

Fat Girls (2007) |
"Big-hearted and often quite funny if crudely made, Fat Girls cleverly subverts the clichés of high school comedies to serve an autobiographical story." |
