El Halloween de Hubie

Everybody watches Sandler's films to reduce cortisol n this one is a worthy entry for the Halloween season which can be enjoyed by the entire family.

It has everything, costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, kids on bicycles, lots of different masks, corn field maze, a werewolf, a psycho on the run, as well as fellas enjoying horror films at the drive ins n kids at home. It even has some nice cameos n a fat mom with lovely tshirts. The film moves at a steady pace, has lots of comedy n an enjoyable twist.

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. (At least for Halloween comedies.)

This is definitely a Adam Sandler/Happy Madison Halloween story, through and through. Lots of dirt humor throughout, and way too many pee jokes.

While it tries to put a wholesome "life lesson" twist on it, but as the whole movie is satirical, it doesn't come off sincere at all. Almost like it's promoting abuse as funny.

The humor is questionable at points, but the majority of the movie is really enjoyable with a pretty well written script and some really great moments throughout the movie.

As it moves into a mystery movie it relies less on the investigation and traditional "drip feeding" of information on discovery and more of a battle against almost everyone in the town basically wanting Hubie dead. It is weirdly dark in that regard.

You'll probably have a good time, but will most likely come out the other side with a, "Well, that was weird.".

If you go in knowing what to expect you won't be disappointed. It's simply a feel good, goofy, Adam Sandler Halloween movie. I loved it, glad I watched it.

I like Adam Sandler so I was excited for Hubie Halloween although it doesn't look good. I expected another okay comedy and that's what I got.

I recently read an article on Sandler which states he keeps on phoning it in which is true. Sandler talks in a goofy accent here so you can't always understand him but I understood him for the most part. The cast is fine including Kevin James whom I don't like and Julie Bowen who worked with Sandler on Happy Gilmore. No spoilers but there's another Happy Gilmore connection.

The plot is weak and absurd which I expected. This movie is just a bunch of jokes mainly Hubie being mocked and scared. No spoilers but there's a kissing scene so cringey it's funny. There are a few plot elements that doesn't make sense.

Overall, Hubie Halloween is entertaining but forgettable. It's aimed at teens but it's not extremely crude. I understand why some hate Hubie so you may want to skip it. Keep in mind Hubie was made before Uncut Gems was released. I just heard Sandler is making another drama which is nice.

One thing you gotta tell yourself before watching this movie is its just some Halloween fun. Don't take it too seriously and you'll have a nice time watching it. I did find some parts were slow but overall I got some good laughs here and there. I've watched Adam Sandler movies since Billy Madison came out in 1995. I believe this is the first movie with Adam Sandler and Julie Bowen since Happy Gilmore (1996) and I really enjoyed seeing them work together again after over 20 years. There are some Easter eggs hidden in this movie that connect some of Adams older movies, it was a nice stroll down memory lane when I noticed them, I don't wanna spoil them for you so see if you can spot them! If you're looking for an Oscar nominated picture possibility then this movie isn't for you. If you're looking for a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously and for you to have a nice Halloween laugh and mini scare here and there, then pop some popcorn and enjoy Hubie Halloween! This isn't Adam's best movie but its not his worst either.
