This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked it. Its more reminiscent of old school sandler movies like happy gilmore. Some laugh out loud moments and cool to see sandler with his happy gilmore love interest. Great Hal L cameo. That was a great way to start the movie. Expand

Adam Sandler plays a mentally impaired deli worker in this fun-filled, star-studded Halloween romp. You don't want to miss it! Surprises abound, the laughs and scares never stop. You will not be disappointed!

There are a ton of references made to some of his most notable works and we see him step back into a role similar to the ones he played in movies like The Waterboy and Little Nicky by adopting the persona of a loser with a speech impediment. It's good fun, but while the former SNL star's Netflix outings have gradually been improving in quality Hubie Halloween doesn't quite live up to its inspirations.

Some jokes just fall flat on their face and the biggest laughs often come from the supporting cast, which means the Sandman himself regularly has his thunder stolen by his co-stars despite being the one who's onscreen the most. Part of this is due to just how bizarre his character actually is. Happy Madison comedies are always filled with weirdos and oddballs, but Hubie is too cartoonish for his own good with his kitted-out thermos and penchant for freaking out at the slightest fright. There is a likable quality to him however as he really is a good, goofy dude that doesn't deserve all the cruelty he is subjected to. This leads to a nice anti-bullying message that's good for children. In fact, outside of a character played by Maya Rudolph who makes it very clear she's sexually unsatisfied in her relationship and one or two more suggestive jokes this is actually a decent choice for an October family movie night.

Overall, this is a solid little holiday caper. Happy Madison's comedy is still proving to be a bit hit or miss these days, but this is easily their most consistently amusing release in some time. It's throwback nature does allow it recapture the magic of Sandler classics like Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore at times as well. However, this is still probably only going to strike a chord with the comedian's most ardent fans.

7.4/10

One of the worst Sandler films out there. I just feel sorry for the likes of Julie Bowen who were dragged into this wretched mess.

I’m very hit-and-miss with Adam Sandler, but I thought this was one of his funnier Netflix efforts. It’s got some fun cameos, and if you’re a Halloween fan like me then this is an enjoyable 90 minutes.

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.

Sandler is phoning in his ten (?) picture deal with Netflix using the same gags where everyone is either stupid or mean.

Why are older people in his moviesSandler 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

"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.

Adam Sandler issued a warning / threat after the Academy snub him.

And he fulfilled it.

I've seen much worse from him, but that is by no means a consolation, but hey, he's a man of his word.

I didn’t think the trailer was good at all but I held out up but alas, it was no good. This was so disappointing to me because this is the film that comes out right after his amazing performance in Uncut Gems. The film’s biggest issue is its script and characters. This script is so poorly written that it’s embarrassing. None of the dialogue feels natural. Instead, it feels like an incredibly rough first draft. None of these characters are relatable at all because everyone is so rude and heartless. No normal town would treat one person this way. I know it’s supposed to be a little unrealistic but it was too irritating not to mention. The performances here really aren’t that good. Some of them were fine and harmless like Steve Buscemi but Adam Sandler and Kevin James were pretty terrible. Their performances felt so unnatural and Sandler’s accent was just very obnoxious. The plot itself made no sense at all and felt very loosely put together. It felt as if they structured the story around the jokes which is something you really shouldn’t do. Most of the jokes weren’t that funny anyway. That’s not to say all of them were bad because I did chuckle a few times but not enough to make me think this film was clever. The cinematography and music were fine. The film didn’t look visually bad at all but it didn’t do a whole lot that was interesting. If you’re a fan of Sandler’s style of comedy, then you might get something out of this. If not, definitely pass on it. Expand

This was one of, if not the most unfunny movie I have seen on my time on planet earth. Had it not been a pandemic, I can assure you the only people that would be watching this are 65 year olds and 3-8 year olds. The jokes seem to be written by a 11 year old after he googled the word "sex". Jesus **** Christ. What was this. Expand
