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

Hubie Halloween is a horrific movie that lacks inspiration.

Ready Steady Cut

Hubie Boucher, I mean Hubie Halloween, tries but can’t recreate the magic of old-school Sandler comedies. It ultimately misses its mark by recycling more storylines and characters than George Lucas.

Rated: 2/5

Keith & the Movies

There are a few decent jokes sprinkled in, but most of the scenes are little more than Sandler goofing around with his pals.

There aren’t a lot of light hearted Halloween-themed comedy movies out there, and as a result that, I find myself watching Hubie Halloween every Autumn since its release. The film’s simple jokes and easy-to-understand character types make watching the film light and fun, traits that are typically missing with movies usually watched in October. Adam Sandler and Co. do an excellent job with the acting and producing of this film. Overall this film is perfect for individuals who enjoy Halloween, but don’t necessarily enjoy the saturation of slasher films also associated with the holiday.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The closest thing to an Adam Sandler sh*tpost movie that has plenty of callbacks to his earlier works and a pretty 50/50 script when it comes to the comedy and dialogue. I thought I’d hate Hubie’s accent, but ngl it’s kind of the funniest part of the whole movie next to the running gag of people always throw sh*t at Hubie while he’s riding his bike. Half of the jokes are actually decently funny, but ngl the other half is pretty lackluster and cookie-cutter in a boring kind of way. The ending twist was kind of cute though. I doubt I’ll rewatch it anytime sooner, but overall I had a decent time with it, which is saying a lot for a Happy Madison movie.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Pretty bad due to its acting, but not completely terrible due to having some pretty funny moments.
