Haiku Tunnel (2001) |
"A low-budget, mild-mannered comedy, often amusing and at times laugh-out-loud funny." |
Louis B. Parks |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hairspray (2007) |
"Marc Shaiman's peppy music conspires with Shankman's energized, retro-musical choreography to make for a giant cinematic grin -- a dimpled dental testament of faith in the powers of nice over nasty, tolerance over bigotry and aerosol over the ozone." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 4/4 |
Half Nelson (2006) |
"It'll be weeks before I shake off [Gosling's] performance -- or the shadows of this small, extraordinary narrative-feature debut from filmmaking partners Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato |
Hamlet (1996) |
"By looking to the box office and the classroom with equal respect, [Branagh] has kept himself a friend of Shakespeare." |
Jeff Millar |
Splat 2/4 |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"The more self-righteous it gets -- the more pious it is about offending people -- the less it works as a theatrical parody." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hancock (2008) |
"Credit must be paid to director Peter Berg for pulling off such a tricky balance of such diverse elements while delivering an impressive and affecting superhero adventure with as much heart and soul as sound and fury." |

Hannibal (2001) |
"Unsatisfying." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"Harris, who adapted the screenplay, and director Peter Webber are faithful to his book. Strong production values, a lush score and scenic locations work seal the deal." |

Happy Accidents (2001) |
"The story isn't perfectly proportioned ... but it gets quirkier at the points where most romantic comedies go limp." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"The animation dazzles. The baby birds are fluffy darlings. The script has its moments, the dance bits are a blast." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato |
Happy Gilmore (1996) |
"Sandler plays this a lot smarter than, say, a Jim Carrey character, and with less slapstick. Still, this is not delicate, subtle stuff: It's smart low-brow, and only for those who like their humor a bit offbeat." |
Louis B. Parks |
Tomato C+ |
Happy Times (2002) |
"Gently humorous and touching." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato |
Happy Together (1997) |
"You don't watch this film as much as grab on to it. Letting it jerk you every which way is a jangly but interesting ride." |

Tomato 4/4 |
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) |
"I've never used this cliché in a review before, and God forbid I ever use it again, so pay close attention: Happy-Go-Lucky is the feel-good movie of the year." |

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |

Tomato A- |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"This movie, like the first, is more of a translation than an adaptation. It's the visual equivalent of an audio book, slightly abridged." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"Before the final credits roll, the Potter saga has transformed into a fully matured allegory of elemental struggle, a knock-down drag-out between opposing forces." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"So many actors shine in so many ways: Carter hisses deliciously, Broadbent sucks up beautifully. Watson shudders with frustration and heartbreak, Felton shudders with anger and fear." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"Partly due to its intensity, Order of the Phoenix is better than the first four in the series. Also credit a much tighter, meatier script and better acting." |
Louis B. Parks |
Tomato A- |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"This is a luminous movie -- luminous, imaginative and affecting. For Harry Potter, at least, the third time is the charm." |
Amy Biancolli |

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"Lovers of the book will find most of their favorite moments beautifully realized, perhaps even bigger and more wondrous than they imagined them." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Harsh Times (2006) |
"It's an ugly, brutal picture, and it's not about 'times' but rather timeless macho posturing run amok." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato B+ |
Hart's War (2002) |
"Teetering toward preaching, the film says much about courage, honor, duty and sacrifice, traits common enough in many World War II stories." |

Havana Nights (2004) |
"The film's chief problem is that Garai and Luna lack the sparks of Grey and Swayze." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3/4 |
Head in the Clouds (2004) |
"An ambitious, if uneven, tale of passionate lovers from 1933 to 1945." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Splat C+ |
Head of State (2003) |
"It hits easy targets with broad swipes, and its simple message is the same as Disney kiddie fare: Be yourself." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Heart of the Game (2006) |
"Its squeak-and-sweat athleticism, its tough, bruised, big-hearted players and its electrifying championship countdowns should appeal to anyone who loves the game." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Heartbreak Kid (2007) |
"The Farrelly brothers blow all the good will accumulated in the first half of the movie by taking the humor deeper and deeper into Tedious Cad Land, where Stiller's self-obsessed, nattering guyishness turns pathological and strange." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat |
Heartbreakers (2001) |
"At just over two hours, Heartbreakers stretches its premise and easygoing silliness to the maximum." |
