Splat
2/4

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

"A film so sloppy, illogical and formulaic that it begs the questions: Can a hatchet job actually elicit sympathy for its sitting-duck target?"

Glenn Lovell

Splat
1.5/4

Failure to Launch (2006)

"Tripp is such a stud that he has to beat women off with a stick. Or, rather, with his parents -- This isn't just idiotic, it's indefensible. It's also the picture's premise."

Bruce Newman

Tomato

The Family Man (2000)

"Despite an aura of déjà vu and a too-neat fadeout, this time-warp comedy feels fresh and original, and not a little heartfelt."

Glenn Lovell

Tomato
3/4

Far From Heaven (2002)

"This imitation of life comes tantalizingly close to greatness, then settles for being smart without much heart."

Bruce Newman

Tomato
2.5/4

Fay Grim (2007)

"Fay Grim is a farce in which people die and lives are ruined. Which is to say, it's peculiarly funny, but you have to be an existentialist with lightning-fast reflexes to get all the jokes."

Bruce Newman

Splat
2/4

Fear Dot Com (2002)

"Anyone not into high-tech splatterfests is advised to take the warning literally, and log on to something more user-friendly."

Glenn Lovell

Tomato
3/4

Femme Fatale (2002)

"I enjoyed this one because, rather than nitpick the director's usual lapses in logic, I allowed the sexy visuals and sumptuous set design to wash over me."

Glenn Lovell

Tomato
3/4

Festival Express (2004)

"It sheds new light on psychedelic rock and shows viewers heretofore unseen, career-defining performances by some legends."

Brad Kava

Splat
2/4

Fever Pitch (2005)

"Suffers from imperfect pitch."

Bruce Newman

Tomato

Fight Club (1999)

"Brutal, bracing, funny."

Glenn Lovell

Splat

Final Destination (2000)

"A thoroughly repellent little shocker that exploits a still-fresh real-life tragedy for routine chills."

Glenn Lovell

Splat

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)

"A movie that doesn't quite know what it wants to be."

Mike Antonucci

Splat
2.5/4

Find Me Guilty (2006)

"As Jackie, [Diesel's] the real surprise in what otherwise is a less than electrifying courtroom drama."

Bruce Newman

Tomato
4/4

Finding Nemo (2003)

"Spectacular visuals, non-stop laughs and action -- plus a PC message. That's some package, no?"

Glenn Lovell

Tomato
3.5/4

Finding Neverland (2004)

"It is Depp who makes the magic real enough to believe."

Bruce Newman

Tomato
3/4

Firehouse Dog (2007)

"It has one of the best -- if not always the most heartwarming -- dog-and-his-boy relationships since Lassie."

Bruce Newman

Splat
1.5/4

Firewall (2006)

"Instead of dramatic tension, Firewall makes do with a lot of frantic typing at computer keyboards. It's like watching Microsoft's Service Pack 2 download for nearly two hours."

Bruce Newman

Splat
2.5/4

First Snow (2007)

"... this one foresees a bleak future for anyone fool enough to look into it."

Bruce Newman

Tomato
3/4

Flightplan (2005)

"Here is a picture whose pleasures rise quickly to 37,000 feet - -and remains there until the captain has turned off the fasten seat belt sign."

Bruce Newman

Tomato
3.5/4

Flushed Away (2006)

"An adventure that -- in both its breathtaking ingenuity and breathless excitement -- exceeds Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and Chicken Run, the two previous collaborations between DreamWorks Animation and Aardman Features."

Bruce Newman

Tomato
4/4

The Fog of War (2003)

"Brilliant."

Bruce Newman

Tomato
3.5/4

The Forgotten (2004)

"A genuine spellbinder, with the power to suck you right out of your seat."

Glenn Lovell

Tomato
3/4

The Four Feathers (2002)

"Nicely sidesteps the book's musty perspective as it weaves a rousing good action saga that, in stretches, almost matches the scope and grandeur of Zulu and the acclaimed 1939 British Four Feathers."

Glenn Lovell

Tomato
3.5/4

Fracture (2007)

"Sometimes movies that shouldn't work deliver an outcome that's as satisfying as Fracture."

Bruce Newman

Tomato
3.5/4

Frailty (2002)

"If you're in the mood to be seriously creeped out, this is the shocker for you."

Glenn Lovell

Tomato
3/4

Freaky Friday (2003)

"Freaky Friday triumphs by successfully striking comic notes when it could be making loud screeching noises."

Bruce Newman

Splat
2/4

Freedomland (2005)

"The film is filled with good performances, though most of them are frittered away by director Joe Roth, who can never find a focus for the story."

Bruce Newman

Tomato

Frequency (2000)

"A thriller that actually thrills."

Bruce Newman

Tomato
4/4

Frida (2002)

"Compelling, adult, sexy and fiercely stylized."

Glenn Lovell

Tomato
3/4

Friday Night Lights (2004)

"Friday Night Lights is the real deal, a grim, in-your-face expose of one West Texas school's fanatical sports program."

Glenn Lovell

Splat
1.5/4

Friends With Money (2006)

"I think I liked Aniston's old friends better."

Bruce Newman

Tomato

From Hell (2001)

"This is the most ambitious and subversive recounting of Ripper lore yet."

Glenn Lovell

Splat
2/4

Full Frontal (2002)

"If Soderbergh's name weren't attached to this project, I'd swear it was by some recent film-school grad who hadn't progressed beyond Navel Gazing 101."

Glenn Lovell

Tomato
2.5/4

Fun with Dick and Jane (2005)

"Other than its 85-minute running time, the movie is in all other ways imperfect, which is just about what you want from one of Jim Carrey's slapdash slapstick comedies. Perfection would ruin it."

Bruce Newman
