What's great about the documentary is the mix of people Anderson interviews for opinions and insights.

Reviews for Fuck
The fact that one comes out of the theatre wanting to wash the director's mouth out with soap shows what a missed opportunity **** turns out to be.

In terms of entertainment, the movie is consistently amusing, often hilarious, and energetic in its editing.
04/12/06
Top CriticPenetrating, revelatory, thought-provoking and entertaining.

Top CriticDespite its flaws, Fuck does manage to leave you energised and determined to fight to the death to defend freedom of speech – or at least sit back and fire off a few swear words of your own in celebration. Shit, piss, fuck, etc…
02/19/09
... manages to strip some of the mystique from the forbidden word, and in the end, despite some road bumps, is a satisfying film.
11/30/06
It's all reasonable but unoriginal stuff.
02/13/09
never really entertains the idea of the word's gentle decline into general usage
11/09/06
Anderson's film should tour as part of an encapsulating trilogy with The Aristocrats & This Film Is Not Yet Rated into the heartland & beyond as an important statement of where we've come and the f***storm we're headed for.
03/09/06
As funny and cathartic as the word it celebrates, and nearly as perversely shock-happy.
11/09/06
Top Critic... it seems like a real neat way to get that word onto movie posters and into lots of movie reviews all over America, thus vexing arbiters of taste and propriety with at least some measure of academic credibility.
11/18/06
On the whole Anderson's film feels a decade or two behind the culture's cutting edge.
11/16/06
Top CriticThis film is probably not going to change anyone's view about this particular word, but it is an interesting, informative, and often entertaining take on the subject.
03/09/07
[The film] provides a highly provocative and humorous overview of a word that, love it or hate it, undoubtedly holds more power than its measly four letters might suggest.
03/28/06
If you're thinking there's not a whole lot to say about the great unsayable, you're right.
11/10/06
A moderately amusing documentary about the second most offensive word in the English language.
02/12/09
Smug, shallow, repetitive, unilluminating and rarely funny.
02/19/09
Anderson's film is surprisingly amusing, as well as insightful, even if viewers have to sit through about 800 uses of the word in the 90-minute film.
01/05/07
This isn't really a documentary so much as a celebration -- of one word's power to twist people in knots.
02/13/08
At the end, you think, 'The filmmakers blew 90 minutes, and probably a couple years of their lives, worrying about this?'
