Splat
2.5/4

Haiku Tunnel (2001)

"As 'Josh's' story wears on, so does one's patience."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3.5/4

Hairspray (2007)

"This movie musical about the plus-sized white girl who shakes her way onto a segregated teen dance show and brings black high-schoolers with her is a laughing gas."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

Half Nelson (2006)

"Gosling anchors the picture, and Epps ... has a kind of grace, presence and knowingness that far more experienced actors struggle vainly to find."

Steven Rea

Splat
2/4

Hamlet 2 (2008)

"In Andrew Fleming's Hamlet 2, the laughs are wan and intermittent. There's something rotten in the state of Arizona."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3.5/4

Hancock (2008)

"Thanks to Smith, it's a story about movie stars -- and why the multiplex-going humankind needs to have them kicking around, too."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

The Hangover (2009)

"Phillips, with a script credited to Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (and with loads of loose-limbed interpretations from the cast), captures the amity among a group of grown men set loose without spouses, girlfriends, or sobriety to hinder them. (Or help.)"

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

Hannah Montana The Movie (2009)

"For its target audience, oblivious to the film's narrative crossed wires, it's definitely three-star entertainment."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato

Hannibal (2001)

"Hannibal is weak kin to its Oscar-winning forebear."

Steven Rea

Splat
2/4

Hannibal Rising (2007)

"What Hannibal Rising is, mostly, is a hoot. Gong Li cautions the nightmare-plagued Hannibal that 'Memory is a knife -- it can hurt you.' And let's not forget the classic, 'They ate my sister.'"

Steven Rea

Splat
2/4

The Happening (2008)

"As for The Happening, his throwback horror flick that plays like The Birds meets The Blob, it's beyond good and evil. It's dumbfounding."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

Happenstance (2001)

"A mild but engaging romance, the charms of which come at you sideways."

Steven Rea

Splat
2.5/4

Happily Ever After (2005)

"Gets bogged down in midlife-crisis cliches."

Steven Rea

Splat
1/4

Happily N'Ever After (2007)

"Two words of advice: N'Ever mind."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato

Happy Accidents (2001)

"Anderson constructs a story where past and future converge to redefine present-tense romantic anxiety. And in so doing he offers a redefinition of love."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

Happy Endings (2005)

"It's a challenge to keep up with the multiple character studies and story lines, which are braided, tangled and teased. But the performances are exceptional."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

Happy Feet (2006)

"Happy Feet offers dazzling cinematic family fun, and a mad medley of tunes (songs made famous by the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Earth, Wind & Fire, Queen, and Stevie Wonder, among others)."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3.5/4

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

"Oddball and ingenious."

Steven Rea

Splat
1.5/4

Hard Candy (2005)

"... icky, incoherent thriller ..."

Steven Rea

Tomato

A Hard Day's Night (1964)

"Still feels brand spanking new, and way cool."

Steven Rea

Splat
2.5/4

The Hard Word (2003)

"The film has an appeal for lovers of the genre. Little else in this unpredictable thriller by first-time director Scott Roberts requires immediate attention."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)

"Offers a mix of nasty toilet jokes and sex gags, but the gratuitous nudity (male and female) and crazy cannabis-ness are there to serve a greater good: to mock social and political hypocrisy, a culture steeped in prejudice and pretense."

Steven Rea

Splat
2/4

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)

"A laugh-out-loud if not-exactly-good stoner comedy."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

Harrison's Flowers (2002)

"MacDowell, whose wifty Southern charm has anchored lighter affairs ... brings an absolutely riveting conviction to her role."

Steven Rea

Splat
2/4

Harry And Max (2005)

"Strains to be sensitive rather than merely shocking, but winds up dull and uninvolving."

Dan DeLuca

Tomato
3/4

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

"Darker, scarier and somewhat better than Sorcerer's Stone"

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, fourth in the fantasy franchise, is the most fun and the most fraught with conflict."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

"Half-Blood Prince is a bubbling cauldron of hormonal angst, rife with romance and heartbreak, jealousy and longing."

Steven Rea

Splat
2.5/4

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

"Yates lacks a steady grip on the shape and rhythm of the film."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

"Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban offers what neither of its predecessors, for all their wand-waving and witch-brooms, had: real magic."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

"At its best, the film's visual dazzle equals the tasty wordplay of the novel. But it is overlong, overscored, and curiously misshapen."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

Hart's War (2002)

"The cinematic equivalent of three-dimensional chess."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3.5/4

Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 (2008)

"Not just a great sports movie, Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 captures a pivotal moment in recent history."

Steven Rea

Splat
2.5/4

The Haunted Mansion (2003)

"Vivid and unimaginative."

David Hiltbrand

Splat

The Haunting (1999)

"A passable piece of summer hokum, but it underlines how difficult it has become to make an effective horror movie."

Desmond Ryan

Splat
2/4

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)

"Good performances and an eerie atmosphere can't save the flick: I'd wait for the DVD."

Tirdad Derakhshani

Splat
1/4

Havana Nights (2004)

Tomato
2.5/4

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003)

"A weird, bubbly cocktail -- effervescent charm and troubling pathology, shaken together."

Steven Rea

Splat
2.5/4

He's Just Not That Into You (2009)

"The result is Woody Allen lite, with some deft observations about how the social media designed to bring singles together are actually coming between them."

Carrie Rickey

Splat
1.5/4

Head in the Clouds (2004)

"Catastrophically overdone."

Steven Rea

Splat

Head Over Heels (2001)

"Kerplunkingly unfunny and -- despite Potter's Julia Roberts-ish smile and ditz shtick -- charmless."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

Head-On (2005)

"Despite all its roiling melodrama, Head-On has its moments of sharply observed humor."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3.5/4

Heading South (2006)

"Boasts another formidable and fine-tuned performance from the great Charlotte Rampling."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

The Heart of Me (2003)

"Watching it choked me up in the way that reading Ian McEwan's Atonement did."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

The Heart of the Game (2006)

"The dramas going on here, on and off the court, more than make up for any lack of flash."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

The Heartbreak Kid (2007)

"The Farrellys manage to have their cake and scarf it down, disgustingly, too."

Steven Rea

Tomato

Heartbreakers (2001)

"Weaver is an enormously resourceful comedian and hasn't had so much fun since Ghostbusters and Working Girl."

Carrie Rickey

Splat
2.5/4

Hearts in Atlantis (2001)

"Its heart is certainly in the right place, but its head makes some misjudgments."

Desmond Ryan

Tomato
3.5/4

Heaven (2002)

"Heaven is odd, and awkward in places, but its lyricism and power stay with you."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)

"Inventive, original stuff."

Steven Rea

Splat
2/4

Heights (2005)

"Heights manages to make the lives of all these beautiful people seem quite tedious. Despite their accomplishments, the only thing they seem suited for is hailing cabs."

David Hiltbrand
