Hubie Halloween

Right now you can watch Hubie Halloween in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. 1,797 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Watch it for Adam Sandler — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Hubie Halloween is worth clearing space for. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Hubie Halloween from the crowd. Hubie Dubois, despite his devotion to his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts (and its legendary Halloween celebration), is a figure of mockery for kids and adults alike. But this year, something really is going bump in the night, and it’s up to Hubie to save Halloween. The chemistry Adam Sandler and Kevin James bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It was released in 2020. Hubie Halloween earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Hubie Halloween is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Adam Sandler is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
