Leave your thoughts about Hubie Halloween.
| The Associated PressJake CoyleThe jokes aren’t often Sandler’s best material but Hubie Halloween is as sweet and easily digestible as a Milky Way. |
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiSandler, like him or not, is a master at bringing ‘90s heart and sentiment to his dumb schtick, and he’s disarmingly quiet and warm here. And his best jokes have nothing to do with Halloween. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichHubie Halloween gets by on the strength of its cameos and sight gags. |
| PolygonKaren HanThe humor being volleyed around in Hubie Halloween isn’t malicious; Sandler, as Hubie, is almost always the butt of the joke, and the gags are mostly gross-outs rather than jabs at any specific people. Hubie Halloween may not be Uncut Gems, but it excels at being what it is: a comedy that’s easy to watch, and easy to forget about. |
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerThere is something half-satisfying and pacifying about Hubie Halloween. In true content-blurring Netflix fashion, Sandler has essentially made a likable children’s movie to babysit undemanding adults. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeSilly, overstuffed and as sweet as anything Adam Sandler has done. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriSomehow, delivered via the bizarre antics of Adam Sandler, who was once one of our most wonderfully corrosive comic personas, it has a certain power. |
| Consequence of SoundJosh SpiegelCompared to a lot of other Adam Sandler movies, Hubie Halloween is watchable without being actually very good. |
| The PlaylistNicholas LaskinAlong the way, audiences are treated to the standard Sandler shenanigans, but more inspired and less lazy than usual. |
| USA TodayBrian TruittA feel-good, all-star monster mash with a low-key smackdown on bullying and a major focus on being as goofy as possible. |
