Rating: - brilliant!
A fascinating exploration of obscenities, the F word in particular, by comedians, linguist, writers, and other "in the know." The movie examines the word's influences through the ages and it's march through the 20th century, including its use by George W. Bush in relation to Saddam and in other instances. This movie is brilliant, particularly, when it traces the use of the word in all areas of our lives. It's a must see!
Rating: - Excellent Documentary

Hence, making it a word that could very much make a worthwhile 90+ minute focus.
And there is a grand array of personalities ... Read More
Rating: - Great F**king Documentary!
A terrifically entertaining documentary, F**K explores and exploits the granddaddy of all swear words in nearby every respect possible. While being unabashedly foul-mouthed, this documentary examines the sides of both the offenders and the offended, the histories and the myths, and the politics and hypocricies of the F-Word.
With tremendously funny animation from Bill Plympton, hilarious and well-juxtaposed interviews, and a subversive tone too pointed to miss, F**K is a truly original, on-target ... Read More
