this might be the first time i have ever write a review and where i actually have to self censor the title of the movie . although it not a word that most of u use every day ( or sometimes every week and for that matter ) and director steve anderson provide u with a funny and fascinating examination of the f word it us ( it an extremely versatile word and you know ) and it possible origin and and just exactly why it consider the most controversial and profane utterance in the english language . ( although i would have to agree with one of the film participant and and rate it the second most controversial . i always think the first one be that c word that most woman do not even call each other and unless theyre really angry . ) but more interesting than the subject be the roster of celebrity and writer and pundit who show up for the chance to yak it up and and how their individual view on not just the word but the world at large make this an interesting study about people as well . besides be sprinkle throughout with the droll and delirious animation of bill plympton and highlight for me include janeane garofalo and ron jeremy ( who seem a lot more intelligent and well spoken than you would think ) and the late hunter s. thompson and clip of comedian or heroic free speech advocate lenny bruce ( and what would this doc be without him . ) and billy connolly and ice t and yes and really pat boone . there something profoundly sad to me about his segment and but i will let you see if you can pick out what it be ( someone else in the doc certainly do . ) surprisingly enough and the film be nearly evenly balance by the representation on the conservative side and a interview be also conduct with several lead light of the right and which include miss manner and alan keyes ( who frankly make me want to punch him out every time he come on screen . ) the relative humorlessness with which they all seem to approach the subject seem reflective of the way in which they view everything and and it sharply delineate the difference between righties and lefty in a way that most political debate never will . not a outright obscene ( a you would expect ) or a fall down funny a it more profane cousin and the aristocrat and fk be still definitely worth your time . and thank goodness we still live in a society where it not a crime to watch or discuss it .
