Hubie Halloween Reviews
Sandler has done some brilliant dramatic work over the years, so it's a pity he persists in churning out such garbage-level comedy. But if Netflix keeps chucking millions at you, what are you going to do?

Sandler surely knew this mildly offensive, juvenile celebration of cheap scares, slapstick gags and bodily function "jokes" was sure to land near the bottom of the large pile of terrible movies starring [himself].
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 10, 2020
More unexpectedly, it's generally bearable - a light, sweet and nostalgic comedy that is pleasantly devoid of high stakes.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2020
Sandler has always been a repository of goofy voices, but what he thought was funny about the mannered muttering he does here is unclear.

"Hubie Halloween" is a seasonal goodie, and it's more treat than trick.
| Original Score: B | Oct 8, 2020
None of this is particularly original, but nobody said you had to be original to make people laugh.

The concept of combining Adam Sandler and horror is not a bad one. But this is no Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein. Instead, Hubie Halloween inspires mild dread for all the wrong reasons.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2020
Sandler's laugh-free special will land in your living room like a flaming paper bag.

The jokes aren't often Sandler's best material but "Hubie Halloween" is as sweet and easily digestible as a Milky Way.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 8, 2020
There is something half-satisfying and pacifying about Hubie Halloween.
| Original Score: C+ | Oct 7, 2020
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.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 7, 2020
[It] isn't especially quick or funny even by the comedian's basic standards - but is also too cheerfully, indifferently silly to raise much ire.

If you're not already a Sandler fan you'll probably quickly tire of his antics, but for the fans Hubie Halloween is another slice of affectionate silliness...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 7, 2020
Those choosing to stay at home instead of trick-or-treating during this year of unfunny horrors could do much worse than this.
| Oct 7, 2020
"Hubie Halloween" is not Sandler's prophesied film apocalypse. In fact, it's one of the guy's better straight-up comedies in quite a few years.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 7, 2020
Hardcore Sandman fans will find plenty to adore in "Hubie," which is akin to a mini Baby Ruth candy bar in a trick-or-treat bag: sweet, gooey, nutty and satisfying enough.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 7, 2020
Exactly what you'd expect from the descriptor "Adam Sandler Netflix movie," with a little extra heart to distinguish it from the other movies in Sandler's uneven Netflix run.
