Fuck

"Fuck is like Belgium. People fight over it." Who says documentaries can't be entertaining AND informative? This appropriately-titled film is NOT in any manner pornographic (although a couple of porn stars are interviewed). In fact, although the titular word is used well over 800 times, the commentators come from both sides of the language debate. Ice-T, Pat Boone, Bill Maher, Drew Carey, Hunter S. Thompson (to whom this picture is dedicated), and others offer their thoughts on the use of this colorful, highly useful expletive. Clips from movies that use the word a lot are featured, with special mentions being given to Saving Private Ryan (which has aired on prime-time network television without being edited), Scarface (if you've seen it, you'd understand), and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (mostly because Kevin Smith is one of the interviewees). Creative animations (including one set to the addicting song "Surfin' Bird") make the film just a little bit more fun, while the DVD includes a profanity counter (which is kind of cool, in my opinion).
Although the film was not rated by the MPAA, I think that it would have received a "G" rating if not for the profanity (especially since some of the clips here are from All the President's Men, which made gratuitous use of the word, yet received a "PG" rating) and the gore and violence featured in other clips (such as for Saving Private Ryan). It's great fun, but not for the whole family!

Rating: 3.5/4
