Hairspray (2007) |
"Hairspray is a wondrously entertaining ball of spunky musical numbers, talent set free and fun, fun, fun, with just enough of a message to make it sizzle all the more. Don't miss it." |

Halloween: H2O (1998) |
"...the film is as predictable as all the other slasher flicks that followed Halloween." |

Tomato 4/4 |
Hamlet (1996) |
"Kenneth Branagh directs and stars in a vibrant, full-text, full-hearted film from Shakespeare's most complex tragedy." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hamlet (2000) |
"Icy-cold in its palette and unwaveringly cool in its application of modern settings and gizmos to a text that stands up to endless reinvention, this is a Hamlet that brings imagination matched by thoughtfulness to its appeal to both eye and ear." |

Tomato B- |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"Boy, is it stupid. Boy, is it funny." |

Hancock (2008) |

Hanging Up (2000) |
"It doesn't help the cause of the picture that both its tone and thematic emphasis change abruptly in the final stretch." |

The Hangover (2009) |
"Superbly cast, well-written and so silly it makes your teeth ache." |

Hannah Montana The Movie (2009) |

Hannibal (2001) |
"It fails to create the deeply threatening vacuum that is the original’s claim to enduring fame and resonance." |
Susan Stark |
Splat D |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"Director Peter Webber delivers all this with a painfully straight face, and the result is actually less interesting than your average horror movie of the week." |

Happy Endings (2005) |
"You get the feeling a script is a bit beyond itself when words constantly appear on the screen explaining biographies, plot twists and such, and Roos depends on a constant parade of such explanations in Happy Endings." |

Happy Feet (2006) |

Happy, Texas (1999) |
"Northam provides low-key comic counterpoint to Zahn's hilariously manic turn. Macy's deadpan, earnest sheriff is the one to watch, though." |

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) |
"Sally Hawkins, in a blinding, Oscar-worthy piece of acting so good you barely see it, plays Poppy, a perpetually upbeat elementary schoolteacher in London." |

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"The film is far from an intelligent commentary on America's race relations...but at a time when race is at the forefront of the American discussion, it presents the topic in a way at which we can laugh." |

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"More impressive than wondrous, it won't transform the series, but it moves it along, pushing its charges toward adulthood and the mean sorcery of the grown-up world." |

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"As beautifully made as it is -- and this may be the best-looking, best-directed Potter film yet -- there's an undeniable level of frustration built into Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B+ |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"Yates is wise not to stuff too many characters into this yarn, and plays everybody well, if sparingly. He can't offer a sense of completion -- more movies to come, you know -- but he offers a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting transition." |

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003) |
"A pretty nifty mystery about deranged love, and if nothing is truly startling, it's still smartly put together and completely entertaining." |
Tom Long |

He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"The saddest thing about this film, coming on the heels of the deplorable Bride Wars, is it continues the trend of supposed chick flicks that treat women as complete morons. Ladies, you're better than this. Way better." |
