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

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.”

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.
