Hubie Halloween
6Has anyone see this yet? I had kind of wrote it off, but I heard critics saying it wasn’t bad for a Sandler movie.Then I read an article about a news anchor woman getting fired by having a short cameo in the movie. I figured I’d check it out.

I liked 50 First Dates. I liked Click but that was depressing as hell.
The one headline I read other than the anchor getting fired is that Adam Sandler made Hubie Halloween to even things out for Uncut Gems. Since I both did not read the article and also haven’t seen Uncut Gems yet, I don’t know how to parse that statement. But I think I want to see both.
@djslack Oh geez, Uncut gems was rough!!! It was not his normal. It was so fast and high stress and not knowing what is going on at all the whole time.
I will say I really did not care for it.
So this Hubie Halloween sounds much better, will have to check it out.
@djslack Uh I think @riskybrizness told me “don’t bother” or something along those lines.
@djslack I did not like UG. It was horrible, rushed, confusing, overly violent, etc
@djslack I managed to get about 30 minutes into UG. I couldn’t tolerate anymore.
@djslack @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
Thought Uncut was hard to watch but toughed it out thru to the end. He was very unlikable in the film, and the end was pretty depressing, but very much what you would expect to truly happen if the story was real.
@chienfou @djslack @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 I saw Uncut Gems in the theater. It made me really anxious. If that’s what it was going for I guess it worked? I personally disliked it. A lot.
Well I watched Hubie Halloween and you know what? It wasn’t bad. It’s not winning awards but it is a solid Halloween movie. If you like earlier Sandler’s movie this should resonate with you.
@Targaryen glad you liked it!!
How does it compare with Ernest Scared Stupid?
@Limewater That’s tough. Ernest more kid-centric I feel like. Hubie is probably more teens and up.
Saw it this weekend. It is cute
@tinamarie1974 Is it like new Sandler or more like old Sandler movies?
@Targaryen more like the old Sandler movies. Not a big fan of the new stuff
@tinamarie1974 Me either I grew up on old Sandler even the SNL stuff. I understand what he’s trying to do to get away from his campy movie past though.
@Targaryen @tinamarie1974 I like most of his stuff, new and old. 50 First Dates is one of my favorite comedies. I agree Hubie Halloween was cute.
I had never heard of it till the news anchor. They should cut her a bonus for publicity
Just looked at the credits. WOW… Kevin James, Ray Liotta, Steve Buscemi (loved him in Big Fish), Maya Rudolph… I’ll have to put that in the Netflix queue.
@chienfou I do recognize and like most of those names… Usually when someone list a person’s name I have to go “who?” “The person who played blah blah in blah” “what are you talking about?” So I guess that’s something lol
@chienfou @unksol glad I am not the only oblivious person
@tinamarie1974 @unksol
that’s generally my take on it too. The fact that even I know these is huge!
@chienfou @tinamarie1974 I just generally evaluate at a movie/show/character level if it was good or not.
Had a liberal arts major roommate in college who would just go on and on… oh that’s this person and they were in this and this and blah blah blah.
Thats nice dude. I really like the character they are portraying in this show. I like this show. I like the character interaction in this show.I can Google their whole history if I want later from the character and show and see if they are in something else I might like.
Enough of those in they stick. Lol. I just don’t generally bother to follow specific people
