- 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!

- Excellent Documentary
Very thorough examination of America's favorite word. The DVD exhanced my use of the word which I didn't think possible!

- Bleeping Good
Freedom of speech is remarkably still an issue in this country and will remain so for the forseeable future. The makers of the documentary 'F**K' point out that if their work were to be shown on network television and accrued fines for its more than 800 usages of the F-word, $165 000 000 could disappear into the coffers of the FCC! 'F**K' offers a balanced look at an ancient word, people who are both pro (Ice-T) and con (Pat Boone). A search for the word's origins explores the common misconception that the F-word is derived from an acronym (for unlawful carnal knowledge; fornication under command of king). The OED states that f**k could be derived from the old French 'fuchre' to poke, or prod. Pat Boone provides some unintended levity when he mentions that he too has a rap song, and uses his own name as a substitute for cursing "Oh, BOONE!" Other appropriate contributions are made by Kevin Smith, Bono, and ... Read More

- the power of a word
The focus of this documentary is utterly admirable--90 minutes examining a single word of the English language. And why not? Certainly, words have histories, and they evolve over time in their usages and halos of meaning. And this word, certainly, carries with it a lot of baggage, since it seems to be one of the most outlawed or undesired of words among certain circles. Hence, making it a word that could very much make a worthwhile 90+ minute focus.

And there is a grand array of personalities here--from comedians to musicians to pornstars to pundits. Ice-T offering ideas along with Sam Donaldson and Tera Patrick. There does seem to be a bit of a bend or skew behind this film, with its almost flippant appearances of f*ck in the face of those who greatly discourage its use, but this seems only natural considering the subject matter--if one is going to investigate such a word thoroughly, one certainly ...
