Hairspray (2007) |
"Hairspray looks like it's sending up the straight, heterosexual world, but it also resembles a big, brightly coloured closet which declines to reveal its contents." |

Half Moon: A Musician's Last Journey (2007) |
"I am a little unsure that the themes, images and ideas in all this come together as satisfactorily as they should, but it is a serious and worthwhile piece of work from a director with a real cinematic language." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Half Nelson (2006) |
"Dunne [Gosling] is an enjoyable and impressive creation, justifiably recognised with an Oscar nomination for Gosling earlier this year." |
Andrew Pulver |
Splat 1/5 |
Half Past Dead (2002) |
"Look upon his fleshy neck, his dodgy hair and his strangely puffy immobile face, ye pantywaist liberals, and tremble!" |

Half Past Dead (2002) |
"A sizeable amount of the budget for this lazy film must have been spent on ammunition." |
Philip French |
Splat 2/5 |
Hancock (2008) |
"It becomes an entirely different film, one not really premised on the bad-superhero comedy idea, and the film is then oddly without a sense of humour, and its vague interest in satire vanishes completely." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Hangover (2009) |
"It turns out to be every bit as crass, offensive and incorrect as you'd expect, but it's also - gulp! - really very funny an awful lot of the time, as well as bizarrely gripping." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008) |
"Just weeks after U2's 3D concert movie comes another shameless cash-in." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Hannah Montana The Movie (2009) |
"This parent-child love story, glancingly expressed through the potent medium of country music, often had me wondering if anyone in the cinema had a number for Tennessee social services." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007) |
"There is something teeth-grindingly cutesy about the whole thing, reaching epic levels of dippiness in the, ahem, nude trumpet-playing scenes. That makes it sound interesting, come to think of it, and perhaps it is." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 1/5 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"How much more interesting - and scary - to have given Hannibal a perfectly happy boyhood with not the smallest occasion for anger or violence." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Hansel & Gretel (2007) |
"Revenge by abandoned children on the treachery of grown-ups ought to be unsetting at the very least, if not spine-tingingly terrifying. But it's done so clumsily that nothing remotely spooky emerges." |

Harry Brown (2009) |
"Daniel Barber's film occupies an interesting position on a certain type of Britfilm continuum with Ken Loach at one end and Nick Love at the other." |

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"For the time being, the Harry Potter thrill ride is whizzing along very satisfactorily indeed." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"David Yates knows how to play all the cards. Although a touch ungainly, his film is solidly constructed, with lots of fine effects." |
Andrew Pulver |

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"Darker, more hormonal, more teenage-angsty and sadly more boring." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/6 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"And so the Harry Potter saga continues. It's essentially deeply conservative, with battles, and crashes, and giants and explosions and is shaping up to be an extraordinary real-time experiment for Daniel Radcliffe." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |

Hatchet (2007) |

He Was a Quiet Man (2007) |
"A real oddity of a film: a satire of corporate office despair." |

He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"An unendurable relationship-romcom, which you should avoid the way you would a glass of punch with a frothy gob of Anthrax floating on the surface." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Heart of Fire (2008) |
"The story, taken from a memoir by Senait Mehari, has come in for considerable criticism as to accuracy... but Falorni's film certainly feels utterly plausibile." |

The Heart of the Game (2006) |
"Boredom and irritation set in early with this shallow, parochial and blandly celebratory documentary about a US high-school girls' basketball team, of frankly limited interest to non-US audiences." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 4/5 |
Heartbeat Detector (2008) |
"There's no killer revelation, just a graceful telescoping of past into present and a steadily accumulating dread." |

Heavy Metal In Baghdad (2008) |
