Adam Sandler has his fair share of haters, more than most actors I would say. The majority of the hate came full force when Sandler inked his first movie deal with Netflix churning out what most consider to be the dumpster fire version of Hollywood film. But you can’t argue with the fact that even with all of the goofy thrown together movies he has put out Adam Sandler is a fantastic actor, and the recent Uncut Gems is proof of that. He actually voiced his Oscar snub in an interview saying he would put out the worst movie ever on purpose purely out of spite - but I "don’t think” he was referring to this movie.
Hubie Halloween tells the story of Hubie Dubois, a Salem man who embodies everything that we all love about Halloween. Unfortunately for Hubie, he is widely considered to be a joke by adults and children alike. But this year things are different, and the town of Salem, MA, will need Hubie to save Halloween.
Sure, it will be over-the-top and goofy to no end, but I think this will be an enjoyable shut your brain off kind of seasonal movie - plus the cast is absolutely stacked.
The all-star cast includes many of Sandlers regulars and a few others including Kevin James, Julie Bowen, Maya Rudolph, Ray Liotta, Steve Buscemi, Rob Schneider, Michael Chiklis, and Kenan Thompson. The film also features co-stars Tim Meadows, June Squibb, and Shaquille O’Neal.
Little Nicky director Steven Brill is behind the camera, with Sandler co-writing the script with Tim Herlihy.
Hubie Halloween will hit Netflix October 7th. Watch the new trailer below.
