No budget documentary filled with talking heads which skates around the issues about profanity in society but fails to crystallize the central idea that the liberals need the moral defenders for their swearing to have its power. It was curious that for many the f-word had become ...( read more)
Fun flick that looks at the history and usage of one of the most scandalous yet overused words in our vernacular. Stays objective, though interviews folks from various sides of the morality argument. Worth it, in my opinion, just for Billy Connolly's contributions.
Interesting and often hilarious. A documentary about the F word was bound to be made sooner or later. The George Carlin section is awewome and the clips from multiple movies are a nice touch. Well made.
A good movie, but less than comprehensive. Sure, Lenny Bruce and George Carlin were represented, but no Richard Pryor? And how do you make a documentary on the word FUCK without even mentioning Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet? Am I wrong?

Funny, interesting and i suppose slightly contrevertial. Well...maybe if your an american, us europeans have moved past being shocked by fuck and regard any1 who is as mentally unevolved, its more like a natural part of our vocab now. Still, very entertaining and the historical a...( read more)
Tried and true bad arguments are advanced. full review
On the whole Anderson's film feels a decade or two behind the culture's cutting edge. full review
Steve Anderson's rowdy and contentious new documentary pits the upholders of propriety against the proponents of free expression in a battle over just one word.
Serves as the latest example of the atrocious devolution of mainstream documentary filmmaking into hollow aesthetic flash and superficial sensationalism. full review
OMG-ROFL-I CANT BELIEVE THAT MADE A MOVIE WITH THE F WORD RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT!
"It's the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness." -- Lenny Bruce
"Take away the right to say fuck and you take away the right to say fuck the government." -- Lenny Bruce
Lenny would have loved this movie.
