Critics Consensus

Viewers immune to its star's charms won't find it much of a treat, but Hubie Halloween is sweet enough to satisfy fans of Adam Sandler's antics.

Brad Newsome

Sydney Morning Herald

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?

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

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].

Rated: 1.5/4

Adam White

Independent (UK)

More unexpectedly, it's generally bearable - a light, sweet and nostalgic comedy that is pleasantly devoid of high stakes.

Rated: 3/5

It's not the worst film he’s made. It’s no Jack and Jill. It’s not going down that road, but it’s also a pretty charming film when it comes down to it.

The Cinema Spot

Sandler attempts to deliver a terrible performance in Hubie Halloween, but it still results in one pretty decent. The protagonist has some of the best advice from his mother, which is that we need to stand up against danger because “we all get scared.”

It’s a good film for the Halloween season. I think this might be one of Sandler most likable characters. I just wish he didn’t scream all the damn time. June Squibb and Steve Buscemi’s performances were very entertaining as Hubie’s Mom and Walter Lambert respectively. 3/5 stars.

This has become a Halloween must watch for my daughter and I. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, you can always tell that Adam Sandler and his friends are having a great time making these movies. He makes these for families and friends to enjoy, and it’s always soooo obvious that he puts his heart into it. As someone who grew up being bullied, it’s refreshing to see someone NOT become bitter, stay selfless and focused on the community like Hubie does. Hubie Dubois is truly a Halloween hero!

I first watched this a while back with my mom and dad, IT...WAS...FUNNY! I watched it the next year with my sisters and grandparents, I remember my grandma laughing a lot! It was not until me and my sisters watch it again the NEXT year when mom realized that it's not exactly age appropriate for my sisters. Nonetheless, I loved this movie, definitely my favorite Halloween movies, one of the Top 10 favorite movies of mine and 100/100 of a score from me.
