Hairspray (2007)

"Hairspray delivers an even bigger sugar rush than the hit Broadway musical, which had already expanded on the exuberance of the 1988 John Waters comedy that spawned it."

Hancock (2008)

"Successfully mocks goofy superhero conventions while affectionately reveling in some of the best-loved clichés of the genre."

Hannibal (2001)

"It's best to just enjoy Hannibal for what it is: A decadent, elegant waltz about evil's seductive bloom."

The Happening (2008)

"A subtle, measured work, which means there will be many who find it dull and pointless."

Happily Ever After (2005)

"This is an affair to forget."

Happy Feet (2006)

"In a year rich with animation options, Happy Feet stands head and shoulders above its competition."

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

"It's a powerful argument for optimism."

A Hard Day's Night (1964)

"The music video by which all other music videos must be judged. And none top it."

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)

"In their formidable quest for junk food, Harold and Kumar end up redefining what the all-American protagonists of Hollywood movies should look like -- and prove this comedy is not quite as brain-dead as it originally appeared."

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

"The real hero of the fourth Harry Potter film isn't the teenage wizard but screenwriter Steve Kloves, who has magically transformed J.K. Rowling's bloated, 734-page novel into a more swiftly paced, entertaining script."

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

"It's the familiar faces that help make Phoenix the best Potter movie yet. Director Yates, who is expected to return for the next installment, continues the shift away from set design and toward performance."

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

"It's pleasant, and not nearly as hollow as, say, The Phantom Menace, but it's never truly captivating."

Hart's War (2002)

"Unlike A Soldier's Story, which tackled the same theme within the confines of an engrossing, unpredictable story, too much of Hart's War feels like finger-wagging."

Havana Nights (2004)

"The original film's mix of romanticized innocence and sexual adventure has been replaced by after-school- special plot twists and puppy-love handholding."

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003)

"A disappointment."

Head in the Clouds (2004)

"You might not think it would be easy to make a dull film about love, war and a bisexual threesome, but Head in the Clouds manages this task efficiently despite a couple of decent performances from Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend."

Head Over Heels (2001)

"[Teens] deserve decent movies, but instead they get glop like Head Over Heels. There ought to be a law."

The Heart of the Game (2006)

"It's almost impossible to refrain from cheering as if you were right there in the stands."

Heartbreakers (2001)

"Hewitt actually sucks life and laughs from just about every scene."

Heaven (2002)

"If Heaven doesn't quite achieve the transcendent power that Kieslowski might have attained, it comes close."

Heights (2005)

"The movie I wanted Closer to be."

Hellbent (2005)

"Writer-director Paul Etheredge-Ouzts doesn't know how to create anything resembling suspense."

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

"It's the path del Toro takes to get there that gives the film its propulsive kick: You literally never know what's coming next, and what does is always better and cooler than you could have imagined."

Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)

"Lohan is practically a victim in her own car, helplessly trying to regain control of her possessed vehicle. It's like an update of Stephen King's Christine for kids."

Hero (2004)

"If you found Crouching Tiger a stunning bore, you probably won't fall under Hero's spell. But the rest of us, well, we'll be more than happy to savor every moment of its strange, ravishing beauty."
