Tomato 3/5 |
Hairspray (2007) |
"There's wit here, and a fair amount of entertainment to be had, but don't expect the feral spikiness of the original, as Shankman, a choreographer as well as director, aims to please the very audience whom Waters usually tries to shock." |

Tomato 3/6 |
Half Moon: A Musician's Last Journey (2007) |
"The film, equipped with a sense of humour as well as a certain kind of Middle Eastern magic realism, has a central theme that emphasises the fate of a whole people without a country to call their own." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Hangover (2009) |
"This is an above par effort, excellently played and just naughty enough to be thought daring as well as amusingly spiteful." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Hannah Montana The Movie (2009) |
"I can’t actually claim that his take on Hannah Montana is anything more than a basinful of easy entertainment for younger teens, it does what it sets out to do with commendable fluency and zeal." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007) |
"The film meanders along in conversational style, encouraging improvisational realism but also the thought that maybe these middle-class characters, not quite slackers, are less interesting than they, or the director, think they are." |

Harry Brown (2009) |
"Caine’s central performance is as impressive as anything he has recently done." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"The present film is a stepping stone, neither classic Potter nor scintillating adventure, but it proves the depth and wholeness of Rowling’s imagined world." |
Andrew O'Hagan |
Tomato 3/5 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"For all the raging teenage hormones stirred into the usual potion of magic and adventure, the sixth instalment of the Harry Potter saga is a slickly unemotional affair." |
Nick Curtis |
Tomato 3/5 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"This is a movie that's bound to satisfy most of those who have read the book, and a good many who haven't, too." |

He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |

The Heartbreak Kid (2007) |
"Less raucous than Dumb and Dumber and has a performance from Ben Stiller that proves he can act better than most people give him credit for." |

Heavy Load (2008) |
"There are times when you don’t know whether to laugh or cry but Rothwell avoids any charge of patronising them." |

Splat 2/5 |
Heavy Metal In Baghdad (2008) |
"It feels like a spoof, yet this documentary, which follows the fortunes of a monumentally rubbish Iraqi band called Acrassicauda, is for real." |

Helen (2008) |
"It is a plain and simple story which is told so directly and with such a lack of obvious sophistication that it finally triumphs beyond all expectation." |

Hot Fuzz (2007) |
"Wright and Pegg's second film isn't as good as their first. That's a common enough problem and Shaun of the Dead raised ridiculously high expectations." |

Hotel for Dogs (2009) |
"At the start, Kudrow’s character tells the time-wasting kids, “You owe me 30 seconds of my life.” I’m owed rather more." |
Charlotte O'Sullivan |
Splat 2/5 |
The House Bunny (2008) |
"This silly comedy has a few decent jokes in its otherwise dim screenplay. However, its parody is as toothless as Hefner probably is by now." |

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008) |
"But then the film’s ambitions are not high. It goes for easy laughs throughout. A few subtler ones — and there were a few in the book — have been hung out to dry." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Hunger (2008) |
"McQueen has not just made a striking film. He has forced us to see how we might behave in strained and unfamiliar circumstances when those who rule us lead us into the mire." |
Derek Malcolm |

The Hurt Locker (2009) |
"Bigelow crowns several decades of excellent artistic enquiry with a film that everybody should see." |
