Tomato

Hairspray (2007)

"The most refreshing and enjoyable musical of this century%u2014Hairspray."

Tim Basham

Tomato

Hancock (2008)

"While the film never quite reaches an Alan Moore-level deconstruction of the superhero mythos, it has a fun time offering up all the joy of a big-budget action movie without taking things too seriously."

Sean Gandert

Tomato
56/100

The Hangover (2009)

"While I'm not ready to call the film a triumph, its approach to humor is smart enough to benefit greatly from low expectations. Which is to say, it's an enjoyable piece of trash."

Robert Davis

Splat

The Happening (2008)

"There's a long tradition of receiving messages from burning bushes, but jiggling bushes are not to be trusted, and neither are filmmakers who ask us to shiver in their leafy midst."

Robert Davis

Splat

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)

"Whereas White Castle had a freshness in its humor, Guantanamo goes crude for the sake of crudeness, to the point of ruining entire scenes."

Tim Basham

Splat
48/100

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)

"To its credit, the movie seems to understand that the primal appeal of these stories lies as much in the appearance of solemn dead people as in the possibility of domestic horrors."

Jeffrey Bloomer

Splat
50/100

He's Just Not That Into You (2009)

"While calculated to be grittier than the typical romantic comedy, it's still a shallow, sitcom view of complex human interactions."

Robert Davis

Tomato
3.5/5

Heading South (2006)

"What Heading South says through careful omission or brief allusion is often more interesting than what it says on the clunky surface."

Robert Davis

Tomato
85/100

The Headless Woman (2009)

"This subtle and compact short story affirms that the hovering hands and exquisitely layered sound design of her previous film weren't accidents but the unusually precise creations of an exciting new filmmaker."

Robert Davis

Splat
47/100

Henry Poole Is Here (2008)

"Pop songs hold the skinny plot together, but a surprisingly caustic Luke Wilson is the medicine that helps the sugar go down."

Robert Davis

Tomato
3.5/5

Hero (2004)

"In what may be the movie's most spectacular set piece ... Zhang pits the sword against the pen and fends off war with knowledge and non-violence."

Robert Davis

Splat
45/100

Hotel for Dogs (2009)

"There are movies that work for children and there are movies that work for all ages, and while I, as a grownup, prefer the latter, I'll have to admit that the kids in my screening of Hotel for Dogs liked it just fine."

Robert Davis

Splat
28/100

Hounddog (2008)

"Instead of embracing its pulpy nature, it aims for seriousness, then gives us cornpone performances, a lightning bolt that triggers a tractor's ejector seat, and a simple-minded view of saintly black folk who possess a dangerous blues."

Robert Davis

Splat
37/100

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)

"Bridges, Pegg and even love-interest-by-numbers Kirsten Dunst do a fine job, but the material they're working with just isn't there."

Sean Gandert

Tomato
65/100

Humpday (2009)

"Shelton often seems hemmed in by the high concept, but she manages to worm her way out so expertly that when it's over, the whole thing feels like it was built backwards, starting not with the premise but with the final, observant conversation."

Robert Davis

Tomato
80/100

Hunger (2008)

"McQueen shows Sand's skin and bones then his blurred view of the ceiling, always striking a balance between static, distant observation and the taste of abraded knuckles."

Robert Davis

Tomato
73/100

The Hurt Locker (2009)

"These men live, barely, on a cocktail of adrenaline and testosterone, and yet The Hurt Locker hones in on the fatalistic psychology of the Iraqi war zone more convincingly than any other recent film about soldiers on the battlefield."

Robert Davis
