The jokes aren’t often Sandler’s best material but Hubie Halloween is as sweet and easily digestible as a Milky Way. Read full review

Polygon Karen Han

The humor being volleyed around in Hubie Halloween isn’t malicious; Sandler, as Hubie, is almost always the butt of the joke, and the gags are mostly gross-outs rather than jabs at any specific people. Hubie Halloween may not be Uncut Gems, but it excels at being what it is: a comedy that’s easy to watch, and easy to forget about. Read full review

A feel-good, all-star monster mash with a low-key smackdown on bullying and a major focus on being as goofy as possible. Read full review

There is something half-satisfying and pacifying about Hubie Halloween. In true content-blurring Netflix fashion, Sandler has essentially made a likable children’s movie to babysit undemanding adults. Read full review

The argument about whether Sandler is terrible or talented has long been settled. The answer is both. Read full review

Hubie Halloween is just generally entertaining enough to be harmless, while also being the kind of movie that people will have trouble remembering exists by the time he makes “Tommy Thanksgiving”. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

A few pranks, some slapstick, some pratfalls, with a modern “Stooge” as the hero. Not many laughs, but hey — he’s keeping the “moron comedy” genre alive. Read full review

Movie is nice and dumb, just the way I like it. You can feel how much fun the cast and crew had when you watch this movie and it's great. Is it Citizen Kane? Of course not. But it's a fun movie to watch with the kids, with quite a few jokes for the adults peppered in.

Easy to watch and had its laughs. Still wish Adam Sandler would stop with the idiotic simpleton vibes. Oh and take 15 minutes off for credits. No bonus scene, just 15 minutes of credits.

"Never go full retard" sums up the main character. Why is this even rated PG-13? Felt like the cast was there to just grab a quick buck. The Halloween aspect of the movie and the sets were great though, and the only reason I give it a 4.

I never was fond of Adam Sandler so I knew taking a chance in watching this film would be a gamble and quite possibly a loss of 1 hr and 30 mins of my life that I'll never get back and.....

Sandler is phoning in his ten (?) picture deal with Netflix using the same gags where everyone is either stupid or mean. Why does he keep giving himself the same moronic slurred accent and three brain cells? Why are older people in his movies always written so dumb? Why are kids made to beSandler is phoning in his ten (?) picture deal with Netflix using the same gags where everyone is either stupid or mean. Why does he keep giving himself the same moronic slurred accent and three brain cells? Why are older people in his movies always written so dumb? Why are kids made to be either mean or pure of heart? Easy: he has no ideas. He's tired of making movies. Writing a good script is hard but even if it isn't good he still gets paid. The sets may change but his movies are populated by the same people going through the same motions, living out the same plot formulas.… Expand
