B+

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."

Tom Long

Halloween (2007)

"Michael Myers is back. And no, you still shouldn't care."

Adam Graham

Splat
2/4

Halloween: H2O (1998)

"...the film is as predictable as all the other slasher flicks that followed Halloween."

Susan Stark

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."

Susan Stark

Tomato
B-

Hamlet 2 (2008)

"Boy, is it stupid. Boy, is it funny."

Tom Long

Tomato
B+

Hancock (2008)

"Hancock is the sort of Fourth of July cinematic fireworks celebration Hollywood dreams about but rarely achieves."

Tom Long

Tomato
3/4

Hanging Garden (1997)

Susan Stark

Splat
2/4

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."

Susan Stark

Tomato
B

The Hangover (2009)

"Superbly cast, well-written and so silly it makes your teeth ache."

Tom Long

Splat
C+

Hannah Montana The Movie (2009)

"Mawkish but energized."

Tom Long

Splat
1/4

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."

Tom Long

Splat
D

The Happening (2008)

"It's downright stupid."

Tom Long

Tomato

Susan Stark

C+

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."

Tom Long

Tomato
B-

Happy Feet (2006)

"Here's all you really need to know about Happy Feet: Singing penguins! Dancing penguins! Funny penguins! We're killing them! Smile for the holidays!"

Tom Long

2/4

Happy Gilmore (1996)

Susan Stark

Tomato
3/4

Happy Times (2002)

"A provocative, touching, surprising and obliquely illuminating piece."

Susan Stark

Tomato
3/4

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."

Susan Stark

Tomato
B+

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."

Tom Long

Tomato

Hard Candy (2005)

The Hard Word (2003)

"A Tarantino-esque mishmash of tough crime cliches spit out in Aussie accents."

Tom Long

2/4

Hardball (2001)

Susan Stark

Tomato
3/4

The Harmonists (1997)

"A true story from the Nazi era, it deftly fuses politics and show business."

Susan Stark

Tomato
B

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."

Adam Graham

Harrison's Flowers (2002)

"The script's judgment and sense of weight is way, way off."

Susan Stark

Tomato
3/4

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

"Dark, resonant, inventively detailed and packed with fleet turns of plot and a feast of visual amazement."

Susan Stark

Tomato
B-

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."

Tom Long

Tomato

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."

Tom Long

Tomato
B+

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

"Artful, fast-moving and engrossing."

Tom Long

Tomato
4/4

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

"Potterrific!"

Susan Stark

Splat
C-

Harsh Times (2006)

"...The movie consists of waiting for what you know is going to come. Waiting some more. And then waiting some more."

Tom Long

Tomato
3/5

Hart's War (2002)

"Gripping on impact, it provides plenty of material for long thoughts."

Susan Stark

Splat
C-

The Haunted Mansion (2003)

"The Haunted Mansion is likely the exact movie Disney wanted. Why they, or anyone else, would want it is another question."

Tom Long

Splat

The Haunting (1999)

"The Haunting is a muddled mess that defies any rationality."

Susan Stark

Splat
C-

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)

"It's just such a thoroughly typical ghost story."

Tom Long

Tomato
3/4

Havana Nights (2004)

"The music could be better, the story could be better, the dancing could be better and the casting could be better."

Tom Long

Splat
2/4

He Got Game (1998)

"The wildly uneven script includes both disciplined, lively riffs and amateurishly artificial exchanges."

Susan Stark

Tomato
B

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

Splat
C

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."

Tom Long
