As Lenny Bruce famously pointed out, fuck is an important word because, "if you can't say fuck, you can't say fuck the government."

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.

Smug, shallow, repetitive, unilluminating and rarely funny.

Despite 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…

It's all reasonable but unoriginal stuff.

This could have been far more illuminating, challenging, or at the very least entertaining.

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’.

More of a TV documentary than a movie, but there's enough good stuff here to keep you from cussing.

An example of the very worst kind of documentary film-making. The picture contains no insight, no research and no etymological answers. It is simply a string of choppily edited interviews with comedians, porn actors and the morally outraged.

A moderately amusing documentary about the second most offensive word in the English language.

Entertaining documentary with an admirable array of talking heads, though it doesn't dig nearly as deep as you'd expect and contains some baffling omissions.

Maybe f*** is a bad word because we don't know where or how it started; who knows? Maybe we're just too f***ing sensitive...

This isn't really a documentary so much as a celebration -- of one word's power to twist people in knots.

This 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.

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.

Fascinating.
