Factotum (2006) |
"Caustically funny, often in a vulgar way, and rather enjoyable in its life-of-a-starving-artist miserableness." |
Eric D. Snider |

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"It's an obnoxious film, to be sure, but it's also slick and engrossing" |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Failure to Launch (2006) |
"It's fun stuff, overall, inconsequential and fluffy and not too cheesy until the end." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
The Fall (2008) |
"It's such an exotic, fanciful story, so loony and imaginative and outre ... that the crazier it gets, the more intrigued I am." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
Falling (2008) |
"Another milestone in Dutcher's growth as a proficient filmmaker." |

Fame (2009) |
"Tries to do so much in so little time that no characters or storylines get the attention they would need to succeed." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Family Law (2006) |
"It's a nice film, offering a few smiles and very likable performances. It could stand to have its themes fleshed out a little more, though." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C+ |
The Family Man (2000) |
"Why is it that when a film blatantly steals from a classic -- It's a Wonderful Life, in this case -- the characters almost never acknowledge it?" |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"While some may roll their eyes at the outrageous fantasyland the Stones live in, others will look at it with wistfulness. Either way, it's a fun place." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A |
Fantasia 2000 (1999) |
"Awe-inspiring, entertaining, even touching at times -- all while maintaining that perfect blend between pictures and music that can almost make you weep, it's so beautiful." |
Eric D. Snider |

Fantastic Four (2005) |
"Everything about it bears the stench of amateurs, from the unspectacular special effects to the sitcom-lame dialogue to the butchered storyline." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C+ |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"It's a vast improvement over 2005's laughably dim-witted superhero tale, though it still lacks any major high-stakes excitement or surprises." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"Feels like the distillation of everything Anderson has ever done, boiled down to its barest essentials." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"Haynes has tapped into that most tragic of ideas -- forbidden love -- and mined some excellent melodrama from it." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"It's a loud, pointless movie, but it performs its loud pointlessness pretty well." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat D+ |
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) |
"Much of the film is harmlessly generic, but in its last half-hour it plumbs new depths of dumbness that markedly lower its overall score." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C |
Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"As weak and bland as a McDonald's hamburger patty." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat F |
Fat Albert (2004) |
"Fails in every possible way -- fails to be funny, fails to be interesting, fails to speak to its potential audience. It is, as Mushmouth would say, a pebeece of crabap." |

Fat Girl (2001) |
"Few Hollywood child actors could pull off anything close to what Reboux and Mesquida achieve." |

Fear Dot Com (2002) |
"It cannot be enjoyed, even on the level that one enjoys a bad slasher flick, primarily because it is dull. Yes, dull." |

Fearless (2006) |

Feast of Love (2007) |

Fever Pitch (2005) |
"The movie -- often amusing, occasionally funny -- rides on their friendly shoulders well enough to be, if nowhere near a homerun, at least a respectable single." |

Fido (2007) |
"The premise is so fantastic you almost forgive the shortcomings of the movie itself." |

Fight Club (1999) |
"It's a compelling, entertaining film. Even when it's nihilistic, pessimistic and macabre, it's still eminently watchable and profound." |

The Final Season (2007) |

Fired Up (2009) |
"The dozen or so laughs I got out of it, while solid indeed, aren't enough to justify a 90-minute movie." |

Firehouse Dog (2007) |
"It's about a boy and his dog, and also about firefighters, and so I don't see how it's possible not to have warm feelings toward it." |

Firewall (2006) |
"Ford is back in action, albeit a little more slowly and cautiously than before, and in the service of a plot that is ludicrous and predictable (if still blandly diverting)." |

First Blood (1982) |
"This is a dark drama about war and the exorcising of demons, and an unforgettable one at that." |

First Daughter (2004) |
"It's not a brilliant film, and much of it is predictable -- yet it has a few laughs, and its target audience will enjoy it. Adults won't find it altogether unpleasant." |

First Descent (2005) |
"Honestly, with all due respect to Alaska, one guy zipping down a mountain on a snowboard looks about the same as any other, regardless of what state he's in." |

First Snow (2007) |
"Takes a silly premise -- a fortune teller predicts imminent doom! -- and spins it into a thoughtful, intelligent story about fate vs. free will." |

First Sunday (2008) |
"As if Tyler Perry's own films weren't bad enough, now we have to contend with ill-begotten rip-offs of them? Heaven help us." |
