Rating:
The Queen Mother of all dirty words (as it was once described by Jean_Shepherd) is examined through all its linguistic, sociological, legal, and ethical implications in this documentary. Filmmaker Steven_Anderson interviews dozens of people about the history and function of "the F word," including language historians who have a hard time nailing down its origin, writers (including Hunter_S._Thompson and Ben_Bradlee) who talk about its role in literature and press freedom, comedians (among them Drew_Carey, Janeane_Garofalo, and Billy_Connolly) who ponder its frequent presence in hipster humor, pop musicians (such as Ice-T, Pat_Boone, and Alanis_Morissette) who offer their theories about its role in contemporary culture, and social critics (including Michael_Medved and Dennis_Prager) who believe its currency is taking America into a dangerous place. F*ck also includes footage of famous figures caught using the word unexpectedly and animated sequences by Bill_Plympton. Mark Deming, Rovi
