Haiku Tunnel (2001) |
"Kornbluth is funny, but not funny enough to carry his feature comedy." |

Hairspray (2007) |
"Hairspray is one of the most enjoyable translations of a Broadway musical to the big screen ever." |
Lawson Taitte |

Half Past Dead (2002) |
"Doesn't deliver a great story, nor is the action as gripping as in past Seagal films." |
Doris N. Truong |

Halloween: Resurrection (2002) |
"The thrill is (long) gone." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato B |
Hancock (2008) |
"Part of the joke lies in seeing a megawatt star embrace his inner grouch with fantastical blunders, and part of the anticipation lies in seeing Hancock become, well, Will Smith." |

Hanging Up (2000) |
"Part dial tone and part solid comedy." |

Hangman's Curse (2003) |
"Glacial pacing and a series of highly unlikely plot contrivances manage to obscure positive attributes and leave you feeling like you've just seen a rather mediocre TV movie-of- the-week." |
Matt Weitz |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Hangover (2009) |
"You're likely to hear all about it as friends and co-workers endlessly quote lines or re-create scenes." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato B |
Hannah Montana The Movie (2009) |
"This probably won't sway the unconverted into becoming fans, but it should please the more than 180 million viewers of the hit Disney Channel series." |
Nancy Churnin |
Tomato |
Hannibal (2001) |
"Not 'as good' as its predecessor. But the general public will find it more entertaining." |
Philip Wuntch |
Splat C |
Hansel & Gretel (2002) |
"What it lacks is a coherent point of view or consistent tone." |
Nancy Churnin |
Splat C- |
The Happening (2008) |
"Mr. Shyamalan is plagued by a bad case of Robin Williams Syndrome, characterized by a desire to inspire and change the world through mediocre entertainment – in this case, accompanied by ample and frequently creative bloodshed." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B |
Happenstance (2001) |
"Occasionally alternates between inspired and facile, but balances its romantic notions with a touch of cynicism." |

Happily Ever After (2005) |
"If this is director Attal's attempt to dive into the complex world of marriages, he barely swam past the shoreline." |
Mario Tarradell |
Tomato |
Happy Accidents (2001) |
"Has an engaging, light-hearted sweetness, clever plot and, amazingly, no special 4-D effects." |
Jane Sumner |
Splat C+ |
Happy Endings (2005) |
"Mr. Roos obviously enjoys directing actors and knows how to relate to them. But Happy Endings suggests he needs a stronger touch when it comes to his own self-indulgence as writer and director." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"Writer and director George Miller, the artistic force behind the beloved Babe and the Babe: Pig in the City movies, brings a concern for penguins that recalls the devotion shown by March of the Penguins." |
Nancy Churnin |
Splat C |
Happy Times (2002) |
"The performances are winning all around. And the comic, slice-of-life feel is charming, but takes a hike as the film progresses." |
Tom Sime |
Tomato B- |
Hard Candy (2005) |
"Hard Candy is the kind of movie that fairly demands coffee and discussion afterward." |
Matt Weitz |
Tomato |
A Hard Day's Night (1964) |
"Richard Lester's tangential, effortlessly clever ode to the Fab Four, given the re-mastered print and soundtrack treatment, still feels fresh and alive." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B |
The Hard Word (2003) |
"Just when you think you've got it all figured out, there's another disorienting jolt." |
Tom Maurstad |
Splat |
Hardball (2001) |
"In the relentlessly routine new film, Mr. Reeves gives the impression of just doing time between Matrix episodes. Audiences may feel like they're doing time, too." |
Philip Wuntch |
Splat C+ |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"In those rare instances when it's not being a dumb comedy, Harold and Kumar is a rather crafty satire of racial stereotypes (which, it must be said, traffics in a few stereotypes of its own)." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B- |
Harrison's Flowers (2002) |
"Chouraqui brings documentary-like credibility to the horrors of the killing field and the barbarism of 'ethnic cleansing.'" |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B+ |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"As The Empire Strikes Back was to Star Wars, so Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is to last year's freshman introduction. In short, it's bigger and better." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato A- |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"The film follows in the fantasy tradition of stretching perceptions of the possible, and it does so in a richly realized and recognizably human universe." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"Readers may decry the way the script deletes some scenes and adds others. But this film offers its own unique contribution to J.K. Rowling's beloved series." |
Nancy Churnin |
Tomato A |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"To their credit, new director David Yates and new screenwriter Michael Goldenberg never lose the heart of the tale. Even in the midst of an incredibly thrilling magical battle of whippeting wands, flashing light and furor, they focus on Harry's inner war." |
Nancy Churnin |
Tomato A- |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"The film's disarming blend of freshness and darkness should please the Potter faithful and win new followers." |

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |

Hart's War (2002) |

Harvard Man (2002) |
"The attempt is courageous, even if the result is wildly uneven." |

Hate Crime (2005) |
"... a flawed film that frequently tries to rise above standard TV dramas of the week." |

The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"The Haunted Mansion is one of the longest 90 minutes you'll ever encounter." |

The Haunting (1999) |
"When The Haunting finally limps to its conclusion, you may feel like booing the screen." |

Havana Nights (2004) |
"Both the dance numbers and the personal drama are largely listless." |

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003) |
"In her novice effort, Ms. Colombani proves herself to be actor-friendly, audience-friendly and story-friendly." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B- |
He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"Somehow, director Ken Kwapis and screenwriters Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein have managed to construct a movie that stays on its feet." |
Tom Maurstad |

Head in the Clouds (2004) |
"Head in the Clouds may be beautiful, but it has little soul." |
Charles Ealy |
Tomato B |
Head of State (2003) |
"The low points are dull, cliché-bound, even amateurish. But the high points are razor-sharp and fearlessly funny -- a hip-hop feel with a punk edge." |
Tom Maurstad |
Splat |
Head Over Heels (2001) |
"Some viewers will enjoy the movie, but film critics and sociologists will not be among them." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B+ |
Head-On (2005) |
"Where too many films depict redemption as a divine right, Head-On has the courage to track a process that generally makes for rough traveling." |
Chris Vognar |

The Heart of Me (2003) |
"The Heart of Me would have been decent fare on television, but it lacks the grandeur one hopes for at the cinema." |
Doris N. Truong |
Tomato A |
The Heart of the Game (2006) |
"Serrill, making his feature debut, didn't plan on spending seven years with the Roughriders. But reality just kept getting more compelling and complicated, and his persistence paid off." |

Heartbreakers (2001) |
"It's too long and overplayed, and only sporadically funny." |
Gary Dowell |

Hearts in Atlantis (2001) |
"A poignant and often beautifully acted film." |

Heaven (2002) |
"Mr. Tykwer manages to put his own stamp on Heaven without neglecting the vision of the man who wrote it." |
