F For Fake (1976) |

Factory Girl (2007) |
"The best Factory Girl can muster is Oliver Stone on a budget, complete with shrill overacting, sloppy pacing, constantly changing film stock, distracting celebrity cameos, messy psychodrama, and bleary stylistic overload." |

Factotum (2006) |
"One of the more striking aspects of Hamer's wily adaptation is the way it undercuts the seedy glamour of the author's cult even as it reinforces it." |

Failure to Launch (2006) |
"Launch writes itself into such a corner that the only way it can manage a happy ending is to lock its leads in a room and force them to have a meaningful conversation." |

Fall (1997) |
"Fortunately, when America's love affair with Eric Schaeffer finally kicks in, there will be a fat back-catalog of little-seen Eric Schaeffer projects ready to be discovered." |

Fame (2009) |
"A film that’s largely a raw, uplifting love letter to creativity in every possible form." |
Tasha Robinson |
Splat B- |
Family Law (2006) |
"[Director] Burman's decision to fill nearly every second of the film with Hendler's voice -- either in dialogue or in narration -- constrains Family Law to the point of view of an indecisive navel-gazer." |

Fanboys (2009) |
"It's hard to imagine any sort of alchemy transforming the script's parade of Star Wars references and tired nostalgic '90s signifiers into gold, or -- this many years after Jar Jar Binks -- make their passion seem anything but sadly misplaced." |
Keith Phipps |

Fando y Lis (1967) |
"Undisciplined but not without effective passages, Fando & Lis isn't for all audiences, a work of provocation as much as a work of art." |

Fantastic Four (2005) |
"A garish mediocrity." |

Splat C- |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"Many complaints were lobbed at Fantastic Four but no one ever suggested it was too smart. Yet it would seem that everyone came to the sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, determined to dumb it down." |
Keith Phipps |

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"This is no more a kids’ movie for kids than Where the Wild Things Are; it’s a film strictly for Wes Anderson fans of all ages. By now, they should know who they are." |

Fascination (2005) |
"At its delirious worst, it's as pungent a Parisian cheese shop, offering a cornucopia of laughable scenes." |

Fast & Furious (2009) |
"A franchise that started as a corrective for distressing action-movie trends becomes what it started out hating. Time for something new." |
Keith Phipps |

The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"Returning the series to solid ground after 2 Fast 2 Furious leaned too heavily on cartoonish CGI effects, Tokyo Drift relies on old-fashioned stunt work that gives its best sequences a sense of brute physicality." |
Scott Tobias |

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) |
"The racing sequences are the series' meat and potatoes, but in terms of story, Tokyo Drift barely offers a stalk of asparagus." |

Fat Girls (2007) |
"Fat Girls is fully in the "quirky indie" mold, populated by frumpy characters who sport slack expressions and enthuse about silly life plans." |

Tomato A- |
Fateless (2006) |
"Fateless presumes audiences know the details of how European Jews moved from ghettos to camps to liberation, so Koltai frequently jumps right past the big changes, and dwells instead on the tedious hours inside the train on the way to Auschwitz, an" |

Fay Grim (2007) |
"There's a thin line between goofing irreverently on the maddeningly convoluted nature of spy thrillers and actually being a muddled mess, and Fay Grim crosses it constantly during its deadly second hour." |

Tomato B |
Fear(s) of the Dark (2008) |
"Almost all of Fear(s) Of The Dark's entries boast remarkable visual and sound design, with weighty shadows, complicated texturing, or unsettlingly fluid movement pushing at the traditional boundaries of animation." |

Feel the Noise (2007) |

Fierce People (2007) |
"Dunne's messy, unpredictable, yet weirdly vital movie veers from one extreme to another without finding a consistent tone, but Sutherland never strikes a wrong note." |

Fifty Dead Men Walking (2009) |
"What makes Fifty Dead Men work is the story’s sheer moral complexity, which dares viewers to sympathize with anyone onscreen for more than a few minutes at a time." |

Tomato B+ |
Fighting (2009) |
"Though its rough-around-the-edges style occasionally veers into outright sloppiness, the film is an antidote to slick studio product like 2008’s MMA advertisement Never Back Down, and it infuses even its clichés with the poetry of the everyday." |
