Facing the Giants (2006) |
"The wholesomeness of the message and the movie's cast make it feel 1950s retro." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Facing Windows (2003) |
"The characters are compelling enough to make it worth plowing through the subtitles." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Factory Girl (2007) |
"It's a movie without that emotional spark that lets us connect with her, or anybody else." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Factotum (2006) |
"This is one of the best movies of the year, and one of the two or three best performances." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"A seductive blend of satire, editorializing and, sometimes, propaganda." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Failure to Launch (2006) |
"We have liftoff! And that's exactly what we want from a romantic comedy." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
The Fall (2008) |
"That's the trouble with candy, the eye kind or the tooth-decaying variety. It's only after you've made a glutton of yourself that you realize you haven't devoured anything particularly filling." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Fame (2009) |
"This Fame is a film without the guts to show Idolized America that, as Debbie Allen so memorably said way back when, "Fame costs, and right here's where you start paying."" |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
The Family Man (2000) |
"The film has so many spiffy individual scenes." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"It's movie comfort food - - a few good laughs, a few winks of recognition, a few tears." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Fanboys (2009) |
"A few laughs here and there and a couple of moments of emotionally stunted sweetness add up to a Fanboys that only a fanboy would love." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Fantasia 2000 (1999) |
"Seems to have been made by people with nothing in particular to prove." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"A popcorn popper, a cinematic sugar buzz. And blessedly so." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"It takes a while to get going, but once it does, it clips along, entertains, and doesn't overstay its welcome." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"Sirk would be proud." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Fast & Furious (2009) |
"A tepid, repetitive and digitally augmented hot cars-hot women thriller that might probably won't give Vin Diesel and Paul Walker the career boost that The Fast and the Furious did." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"Since we've become a nation of 9-mile-per-gallon, automatic-transmission SUV-driving sissies, a movie about the blood-curdling speed you can achieve in a Honda Civic is probably all we deserve." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) |
"This is an exceptionally stupid and irresponsible movie on some levels. But it does score points for style and exotic location." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"A serious subject; a director who loves to listen to people talk things out; and the nightmare this must have been in the editing booth, play out in front of us in 100 of the longest minutes you might ever spend in a theater." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Fast Runner (2002) |
"From its mystical-mythical opening to the stunning finale, this is storytelling at its most primal and filmmaking at its most original." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Fat Albert (2004) |
"Not much of a movie, but maybe it'll shame TV Land into putting the gang back on the tube." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Fat Girl (2001) |
"Anais is not an object of pity or fun. She simply is. And after seeing Fat Girl, we understand her why and how." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Favela Rising (2006) |
"A movie that is compelling and moving. It's also an artfully filmed and edited study of a real 'rhythm nation.'" |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Fear and Trembling (2004) |
"Strange and darkly funny culture-clash comedy." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Fearless (2006) |
"[Li's] pandering to the domestic (Chinese) market with a tired, formulaic martial-arts melodrama dressed up as epic." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Feast (2006) |
"[Director John Gulager] shows a little flair for the genre, though the editing is so frenetic you really can't see what's going on (a blessing, considering how cheesy the monsters look and move)." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Feast of Love (2007) |
"[Director] Benton has a gift for casting, even if it is "on the nose" (actors almost too perfect for the part). Kinnear is at his most endearing, and Freeman, shorn of his flintiness, has never been sweeter." |
Roger Moore |

Femme Fatale (2002) |
"It's the best bad movie out there." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Festival in Cannes (2002) |
"At its best ... Festival in Cannes bubbles with the excitement of the festival in Cannes." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Fever Pitch (2005) |
"This Fever isn't catching." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Fight Club (1999) |
"Fight Club is an empty shout of 'To hell with it all!'" |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Fighting (2009) |
"The director plays a visual game of three card monte on us for this silly, weakly acted and yet sometimes entertaining variation on the 'Big Fight' movie formula." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 2/5 |
The Fighting Temptations (2003) |
"It's not graceful. It's not smart. But it's sweet and cute, and that will do until a real romantic comedy comes along." |
Roger Moore |

Splat 2/5 |
The Final Cut (2004) |
"This premise sounds like the sort of a screwy, non-idea that a young film student might dream up while editing a documentary. And according to the press notes, that's just what happened." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato |
Final Destination (2000) |
"Any movie clever enough to make the late John Denver a prophet of doom is OK in my book." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
The Final Destination (2009) |
"It's not frightening in the least, with only a few amusing moments, a pedal-and-forehead-to-the-metal race track crash opener, and then you just keep time by counting off who survives the initial slaughter, who awaits death when "their turn" comes." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Final Destination 2 (2003) |
"It's a soulless affair that has little of the panache and intelligence of 2000's Final Destination." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Final Destination 3 (2006) |
"Might this be the final Final Destination? Don't bet on it." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) |
"Final Fantasy joins Tomb Raider and The Phantom Menace as movies whose moronic stories are mere vehicles to get the viewer from one game-challenge sequence -- a chase through canyons, a battle with aliens -- to the next." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Final Season (2007) |
"As corny as Iowa and as predictable as an intentional walk." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Find Me Guilty (2006) |
"It's hard to do anything in court that hasn't been done before. It's a static situation, and points are scored in tiny increments. No big witness-stand breakdowns, no tearful confessions. Thus, boredom creeps in." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Finding Forrester (2000) |
"Van Sant takes the cliches and gives them a half spin that makes them seem fresh and almost accidental. He's like an inspired jazz musician improvising on an old, too-familiar tune and making it his own." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 5/5 |
Finding Nemo (2003) |
"Lives up to the proud, relatively new tradition of Monsters, Inc., A Bug's Life and the Toy Story films." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 5/5 |
Finding Neverland (2004) |
"Finding Neverland is not exactly the way it happened, but this is a movie with a higher truth, one we need to believe in. And you will believe. You will." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Fired Up (2009) |
"It may be as dumb as you'd expect from this team, but Fired Up is still the best 'dumb cheerleader' comedy since Bring It On." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Firehouse Dog (2007) |
"Firehouse Dog is like that corgi or collie who won't or can't learn a trick. It just lies there, looking cute, gathering fleas." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Firewall (2006) |
"Thrillers aren't just about action and surprises, they're about fear and fury. And for a film with fire in the title, you expect a lot more heat." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
First Daughter (2004) |
"Not even Holmes can elevate this pap." |
Jay Boyar |
