"You see, Mrs. Walker, this is quite an opportunity for me. For the past 50 years or so I've been getting more and more worried about Christmas. Seems we're all so busy trying to beat the other fellow in making things go faster and look shinier and cost less that Christmas and I are sort of getting lost in the shuffle."

"Mr. Shellhammer: But... but maybe he's only a little crazy like painters or composers or... or some of those men in Washington."

"Oh, Christmas isn't just a day, it's a frame of mind... and that's what's been changing. That's why I'm glad I'm here, maybe I can do something about it."

"Do you realize that there are thousands of children lining the streets? Children who have waited weeks just to see you? You are a disgrace to the tradition of Christmas! And I shall not allow you to malign me in public!"

"Experience the Miracle."

"Discover the Miracle."

"A thesis-level course in the history, derivation and proper use of every sailor's favorite cuss, the movie has to wage a constant battle against potty-mouthed monotony. Fortunately, it emerges largely unscathed, and almost triumphant in its own single-minded way."

"Mr. Anderson’s movie is staged as a talking-head culture-war skirmish between embattled upholders of propriety (or repression, if you prefer) and proponents of free expression (or filth), but its real lesson is that the two sides depend upon each other. Or rather, that the continued vitality of the word — its unique ability to convey emphasis, relieve stress, shock grown-ups and function as adverb, noun, verb, intensifier and what linguists call 'infix' — rests on its ability to mark an edge between the permissible and the profane."

"Unlike Kirby Dick's scatterbrained This Film Is Not Yet Rated, Steve Anderson's similar state-of-obscenity documentary Fuck gives both sides of the decency argument a fair hearing."

"The documentary offers an effervescent blend of cultural history and political opinion."

"Can you support the First Amendment, and be appalled at the often-ridiculous fines levied by the FCC for a single broadcast F-bomb, and still be weary of this word's ubiquity? Anderson's movie doesn't say, but many know the answer."

"Anderson's glib approach is to the movie's advantage, allowing anything profound to seem unexpected."

"Fuck provides a highly provocative and humorous overview of a word that, love it or hate it, undoubtedly holds more power than its measly four letters might suggest."

"All in all, I’d have to say that this film was entertaining as fuck."

"For something rather different there’s F*ck, a moderately amusing documentary about the second most offensive word in the English language."

"All told, 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. (And that's a cinematic record.)"

"You could think of that [word] as standing in for most of the changes that happened in the 20th century, at least many of the important ones."

"Ultimately, Fuck is a movie about free speech. ... Freedom of expression must extend to words that offend. Love it or hate it, fuck is here to stay."

"An interesting debate about censorship."

"The f-word is special. Everybody uses the word breakfast, but not everyone feels comfortable using the word fuck so there's an extra power behind it."

"[Fuck] sounds exactly like what it is."

"It's one of those all-purpose words."

"F*ck manages to strip some of the mystique from the forbidden word, and in the end, despite some road bumps, is a satisfying f*lm."

"It's the ultimate bad word."

"If you can't say fuck, you can't say fuck the government."

"The most important film using fuck."

"At the forefront of the discussion is the question of freedom of speech."
