Happy Halloween from Mr. Dubois

Placing 2nd on the Top 10 in the U.S. Today on Netflix, the “spooky” comedy ‘Hubie Halloween’ has made its way onto the TV screens of American homes as Halloween approaches. This movie really entertained me, leaving no room for anything but laughter. Even the smallest details in this movie made a big difference. Some of the scenes could leave you thinking, “…What?!”

Hubie Halloween is a PG-13 comedy on Netflix with so many cameos, that it is downright scary. The famous comedic actor, Adam Sandler, plays the main character, Hubie Dubois. Hubie has a kind heart, and his goal is to keep his hometown, Salem, safe on Halloween. 

Unfortunately, Hubie’s acts of kindness go unrecognized as helpful and are seen more as ridiculous and laughable. The citizens of Salem, ranging from elementary students to grown adults, make fun of Hubie throughout the movie. As Halloween approaches in Salem, everyone prepares for the exciting holiday.  As Hubie tries coming home after a day of teasing, he meets his new neighbor, who seems kind and understanding. Soon after that, he learns interesting things about the man that will play a large part in the movie plot.

Now, Sandler fans know the nature of his most popular movie characters. If you like ‘The Waterboy’ and ‘Billy Madison’, you’ll love this movie too. To sum it up, Hubie is a mixture of all of Sandler’s characters. And if you notice, there is a common group that is always in his movies, that once again, make a cameo in this one. If you have watched his movies or Saturday Night Live, you’ll understand what I’m trying to say. 

Sandler’s talent to make anyone instantly laugh is amazing. I think giving a tremendous amount of credit to Sandler is reasonable. The small references, cameos, and jokes that are sprinkled in here and there really make this movie just like all of Sandler’s other ones…absolutely hilarious. 

This movie really made my family and I laugh out loud. The first scene took us by surprise, but it was very humorous. This movie may have been one big passion project for Sandler, considering it seems all his friends in the film industry are involved, and Hubie is one big mixture of all his other characters.

 I truly recommend watching this movie, especially if you know his characters well. This movie should be a 10/10 for you Sandler fans out there!
