Tomato 5/5 |
Hairspray (2007) |
"It's a toe-tapper to make your forget sashaying pirates, comic-book heroes, robot Camaros and cartoons. This is the movie event of the summer." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Half Nelson (2006) |
"The movie comes down to Gosling's spot-on performance and how we feel about it." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Half Past Dead (2002) |
"The best thing about Half Past Dead is that its title provides an accurate description of how you will feel after watching it." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 1/5 |
Halloween (2007) |
"Rob Zombie's Halloween remake isn't scary, which is really all you need to know about it." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Halloween II (2009) |
"It's not even as scary as his Halloween remake, and that one was perfunctory, at best." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"Dead Poets Society, Dangerous Minds, Mr. Holland's Opus, all 'great' movies about 'great' teachers inspiring their students to achieve great things -- all movies referenced lovingly by Steve Coogan's 'inspiring' teacher in Hamlet 2." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Hancock (2008) |
"Passable if profane, Hancock chugs along right up to that when this comic superhero engine goes off the tracks, and pretty much off a cliff." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Hanging Up (2000) |
"The final scene shows the sisters laughing together, preparing a Thanksgiving feast and playfully throwing flour at each other. I felt like throwing something too, but I didn't have any tomatoes." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 3/5 |
The Hangover (2009) |
"It's hilarious in spurts and several bit players score, but the movie doesn't have enough momentum to carry it through the dead spots." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008) |
"$15 is a bargain compared to what scalpers were asking us to fork over so our little darlings could see their teen idol." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Hannah Montana The Movie (2009) |
"As teen fantasy Hannah has worked well enough to meet fan approval. And I liked her concert film from last year. But The Movie, inoffensive though it is, suggests they're over it. Maybe we should be, too." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Hannibal (2001) |
"Meandering, emotionally empty and thoroughly unsavory, it's not so much shocking as shockingly bad." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"Rising is a movie that solves a mystery no one should want solved, with more grisly crimes that spare us no detail, held together by an actor who is no Anthony Hopkins." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/4 |
The Happening (2008) |
"The plot is absurdly preachy and illogical, and the dialogue uneven, with stinging lines followed by stinkers." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Happily N'Ever After (2007) |
"Happily N'Ever After is proof-positive that Europeans may have us beaten in soccer, wine and luxury cars, but they still can't make a decent 3-D cartoon." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Happy Accidents (2001) |
"For a high-flown fantasy, it's surprisingly down-to-Earth." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Happy Endings (2005) |

Happy Feet (2006) |
"Robin Williams saves Happy Feet." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) |
"Hawkins wears her grin in almost every scene, but she gives us hints that this dizzy 30-year-old is deep, as are the disappointments that might have caused Poppy to don this mask. It's a performance of sustained, childlike wonder and adult wit." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Hard Candy (2005) |
"It's cinematic S&M, a bondage-control game masquerading as a thriller." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Hard Word (2003) |
"Roberts stuffs the film with clever twists that keep us one step behind the plot, which is where you want to be in a heist picture." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Hardball (2001) |
"A misshapen mess which relies on shameless manipulation and cute casting to cover its lack of a plot and phony emotions." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"In all its mock outrage and its daring shots at hypocrisy, bigotry and the government, Harold & Kumar, the characters and the movie, lose their subversive innocence." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"Crude, tasteless, sophomoric and crass. It is also, sometimes, funny." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Harrison's Flowers (2002) |
"We care about these people as people, not just as representatives of a particular country." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"The whole Harry Potter thing may not be as fresh for moviegoers as it was last year, but thankfully Chamber of Secrets is well-crafted." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"Yes, it's the same movie as Harry Potter the First. The very same, save for the flying car. That they stole from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"Wait a minute. Sequels aren't supposed to get better." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"An emotional and involving installment in the hit-or-miss Harry movie series." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"It feels for all the world like what it is: a table-setting for the last two Potter novels-into-films, pages turning into scenes that take us toward graduation or some other decisive conclusion." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"It's hard to imagine that any Harry Potter movie will ever top the enchanted achievement of Prisoner of Azkaban." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato |
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"The new, much-anticipated movie is a faithful, literal, only mildly imaginative rendering of that book. While no disgrace, it is certainly no classic, like, say, the movie of The Wizard of Oz." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Harsh Times (2006) |
"Endless scenes of the two guys riding along, venting and cursing and chugging beers play like acting-class exercises, badly written ones at that." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Hart's War (2002) |
"Watching this film, what we feel isn't mainly suspense or excitement. The dominant feeling is something like nostalgia." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"The Haunted Mansion is disappointing in just about every way. Even the plot, which seems simple enough at first, turns out to be confusing when all is revealed." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat |
The Haunting (1999) |
"Shockingly short on suggestiveness and restraint." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) |
"The writers, "true story" or not, were plainly recycling Amityville story structure. So credit editor Tom Elkins with the scares that work." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008) |
"The Haunting of Molly Hartley isn't the least bit haunting. It's just cheap." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Havana Nights (2004) |
"This film is too noble to get down and dirty." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Haven (2006) |
"A long-shelved, watchable but mediocre Mobius strip of a thriller." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003) |
"It's more clever than brilliant, but folding two radically different interpretations of a kind gesture, a chance encounter and a Nat King Cole song heard on a car radio is a great trick." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"There isn't much chemistry, thanks to the limited screen time the couples have to share with many other couples." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Head in the Clouds (2004) |
"The story becomes a long slog because Duigan doesn't define his characters and because he's determined to touch too many of the familiar '30s European bases." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Head of State (2003) |
"What's the point of making a comedy about the first black presidential candidate if you're not going to use it as a springboard for something more sharply satirical than this picture's bland, populist sentiments?" |
Jay Boyar |
Splat |
Head Over Heels (2001) |
"Has the dubious, if rock-solid, distinction of being the first truly tasteless motion picture of 2001." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Head-On (2005) |
"Akin makes this a most intriguing, if roundabout, journey from despair to 'do something.'" |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Heart of Me (2003) |
"While far from the gold standard of The Remains of the Day, it presses all the appropriate buttons." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Heart of the Game (2006) |
"Emotional, uplifting, vexing and infuriating, it's the first basketball documentary worthy of being compared to 1994's Hoop Dreams." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
The Heartbreak Kid (2007) |
"Like much of the Farrellys' work, there's no soul to what might very well be a Something About Mary sequel." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Heartbreakers (2001) |
"You'd practically have to be a laugh track to enjoy it." |
Jay Boyar |
