Face Off (1997)

"It could be argued that this movie's callousness toward human life is nihilistic and nasty. But Woo takes everything so absurdly far that audiences laugh at what horrified them moments before."

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

"The documentary's scathing attack on the war in Iraq and George W. Bush's presidency is informative, provocative, frightening, compelling, funny, manipulative and, most of all, entertaining."

FairyTale: A True Story (1997)

"Flits, falters and falls flat."

The Fall (2008)

"The Fall is aptly named not only because it pertains to a tragic descent but because viewers will feel as if they have plunged headlong into an alternate universe with this dazzling adult fairy tale."

Fame (2009)

"Fame offers slick entertainment with some exuberance, but it's devoid of soul or heart."

A Family Thing (1996)

"It's likely to be overrated by some and underrated by others, and both contingents will be wrong. One can't, however, overrate the performances, with auntie ruling the roost in more ways than one."

Fanboys (2009)

"Though it does feature a few inspired comic moments, there is a surplus of tired, overused gags."

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

"Once you accept that Fantastic Four is not trying to be anything deeper than popcorn fare, the ride can be fun -- with an ending more satisfying than Spider-Man 3."

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

"These weirdly effective shifts in tempo, combined with an attention to detail and distinctive dialogue, make for the best moments in this offbeat adventure."

Fargo (1996)

"A nifty bit of nastiness from two of our most dependably provocative filmmakers."

Fast & Furious (2009)

"New Fast and Furious Stills Surface"

Fat Albert (2004)

"This movie is as lame as it is tame."

Father's Day (1997)

"No masterpiece but undeniably heavy on laughs, the movie is put over by the buffed, lubricated dynamics of two leads who substantially transcend what is otherwise a borderline tepid dose of family values."

Fear (1996)

"For a while, the cast is appealing enough, and the design is House Beautiful enough, to camouflage the Fatal flaws that turn the second half into an overblown, predictable snicker-fest."

Feast of Love (2007)

"Multiple narratives are fluidly interwoven and the writing is often inspired, resulting in dialogue that feels honest and insightful, if occasionally mannered."

Fever Pitch (2005)

"Other Hornby screen adaptations are About a Boy and High Fidelity -- superb comedies both and, in Fidelity's case, a treatise on male obsession with far more depth and even more laughs."

The Fifth Element (1997)

"An overblown cosmic comic book."

The Fighting Temptations (2003)

"Temptations plays like a test case on whether there can be life after Boat Trip, a movie perched to pop up from the deeps at year's end to dominate 10-worst lists."

Final (2001)

"Leary -- and the film itself -- keeps the audience off guard."

Final Destination 2 (2003)

"That there is an audience for a movie in which innocent people suffer hideous accidental deaths is troubling enough, but that a group of creative people chose to direct their energies on this repulsive spectacle simply provokes disgust."

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)

"Moviegoers accustomed to Hollywood action probably won't find this contemplative adventure so appealing."

Finding Amanda (2008)

"The film's tone shifts jarringly from superficial broad comedy to something far darker. And the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold scenario is as old as the profession itself."

Finding Nemo (2003)

"Treats family audiences to a sweet, resonant story and breathtaking visuals."

Fired Up (2009)

"As long as you don't expect too much, Fired Up!'s aim is true enough."

Firestorm (1998)
