Synopsis: This challenging and provocative documentary takes a look on all sides of the infamous F-word. Its taboo, obscene and controversial, yet somehow seems to permeate every single aspect of our culture... [More]

It's going to be an entertaining and successful big-city date movie, let's say that. But it's essentially a mishmash of random ingredients, not very systematically presented and skewed to flatter its audience's presumed enlightenment.

Top CriticFar smarter fun with filth, though, can be found in The Aristocrats.

The most dishonest thing about this ranting montage of a movie is its technique of panning between opposing viewpoints to simulate debate, when in fact each of the more than 35 celebrities was separately interviewed.

never really entertains the idea of the word's gentle decline into general usage

At the end, you think, 'The filmmakers blew 90 minutes, and probably a couple years of their lives, worrying about this?'

F--- branches out into a discussion of decency, ranging from David Caruso's bare butt on "NYPD Blue" to Janet Jackson's Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction. At this point, the movie has lost its initial focus.

Top CriticOn the whole Anderson's film feels a decade or two behind the culture's cutting edge.
11/16/06
The insight-neutral scrag ends of what feels like ten decent documentaries on censorship, semantics, social policy and broadcasting coalesce in this painfully self-satisfied and poorly made ‘shock-doc’.

...it's certainly never a good sign when the clips within a documentary are more entertaining than the documentary itself.

This could have been far more illuminating, challenging, or at the very least entertaining.
02/12/09
As well as being humdrum, this is past its sell-by date: the film is a product of the Bush years, with the liberals making all the old complaints about Dubya’s encouragement of cultural puritanism.
02/19/09
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.
11/13/06
90 minutes is too much time to devote to a four-letter word, even one with as many diverse uses and conjugations as this one.
11/10/06
Top CriticThe inclusion of the porn footage and supposedly comical cartoons (by Bill Plympton) don't really add anything to the film. In fact, they're shockingly irrelevant.
12/15/06
But in the end, F*CK is at most a compendium of opinions and examples, and never feels like a story.

If you're thinking there's not a whole lot to say about the great unsayable, you're right.

Everyone uses the four-letter word, not many publications (including EW) print it: That's one marketing hook for this goofily overproduced, frivolous documentary.
11/08/06
Top CriticTried and true bad arguments are advanced.
