Factory Girl (2007)

"Sedgwick's death seems as predestined as a Hollywood melodrama."

Fade to Black (2001)

Failure to Launch (2006)

"Parker does occasionally make us forget that Failure to Launch is so bereft of comic ideas that it ultimately stoops to giving Terry Bradshaw a nude scene to milk a laugh."

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

"You don't walk out of Rise of the Silver Surfer feeling as if you've gone three rounds with the Thing. This is a case where getting less than you bargained for feels like a victory."

The Fast and the Furious (2001)

"It's been a long time since we've had a junky exploitation movie we could really fall for. The Fast and the Furious is that movie."

Fast Food Nation (2006)

"Fast Food Nation is alternately funny and disturbing, and surprisingly informative, even as it sacrifices some of its strength by lecturing to an audience that might be snacking on fake cheese-covered corn chips and calorie-laden cola."

Fat Albert (2004)

"Call me a sap. Call me a sucker. But Fat Albert couldn't help but make me smile."

FAUST (1926)

"Still a classic example of eye-popping excess at a time when German filmmakers were among the most innovative in the world."

Fear Dot Com (2002)

"Expect to be reminded of other, better films, especially Seven, which director William Malone slavishly copies."

The Fearless Freaks (2005)

"Wildly entertaining."

Feel the Noise (2007)

"For whatever reason you go to a movie like this, the results are bound to disappoint."

Festival Express (2004)

"Proves less a revelation than a confirmation that these performers -- who are joined on various stops by bluesman Buddy Guy, Ian and Sylvia's post-folkie incarnation as Great Speckled Bird, and others -- were everything they were cracked up to be."

Fever Pitch (2005)

"[The movie] asks what is truly required of growing up, then splits the emotional difference."

The Final Cut (2004)

"It's all modestly clever but decidedly under-baked."

Final Destination 2 (2003)

"Entertaining enough to make you forget that you're watching little more than death warmed over."

Find Me Guilty (2006)

"A pleasing return of sorts to Lumet's training in the early years of TV."

Finding Neverland (2004)

"We can always see the frightened little boy in the man, and the importance of the role that make-believe plays in a world often too eager to tell us to accept things as they are instead of urging us to remake them by dreaming of how they could be."

Firehouse Dog (2007)

"Firehouse Dog is credited to three writers, but not one of them seems to have a solitary spark of an idea."

Firewall (2006)

"The plot of Firewall is about as complex as a game of Pong."

Flags of Our Fathers (2006)

"Clint Eastwood has played his share of heroes in the movies. Yet when he directs, his films tend to look at the American legend-making machinery through a critical, squinting eye."

Flavors (2004)

"Unevenness in tone and the film's reliance on stereotypes is not uncommon to first feature films, and writers and directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. don't help their cause with dialogue that too often asks questions like 'What is life without love?'"

Flight of the Phoenix (2004)

"A movie so literal that the character who wears an eye patch is named Patch, and where everything that happens is spelled out with the subtlety of a first-grade teacher introducing the alphabet."

The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (2000)

"We need another live-action Flintstones like we need a club to the head."

Flushed Away (2006)

"As some other witty Brits once promised, a splendid time is guaranteed for all."

Focus (2001)

"The story is exceedingly simplistic, but it is made interesting by first-time feature director Neal Slavin's visual and dramatic conception."
