Let's start off with the positives of this film and the best thing about Hubie Halloween is its a really entertaining film. It's never boring and it's what you're looking for if you're in need for some Halloween fun and surprisingly, Adam Sandler seems like he's putting some effort in.
Also I like the concept of a really nice guy trying to save his town from spooky going ons. It's right up my street and though I will elaborate on it later on, I enjoyed what I got from this film.
I also loved the call backs to his early (and best) films. It brings back a lot of nostalgia and I do wish he'd go back to those sort of films. He also reunites with a cast member who was part of my personal favourite film of his.
Onto the mixed aspect and the only thing that comes to mind are the jokes. Now they're are some genuine laughs in this film (Yes I said that right) and I found myself laughing a lot but there's also the usual Adam Sandlerisms in this film as well. Gross out humour and really cringeworthy and drawn out moments so when you watch this, don't expect to see anything new but also expect a couple of laughs.
Onto the negatives now and this biggest problem with this film is it lacks creativity. When you have a Halloween film with Adam Sandler, I was hoping for supernatural elements and inventive stuff but it's basically a slasher film turned into a comedy. No creativity at all, instead it gets more predictable as it goes on and although the film touches on a couple aspects of horror elements, it fails to fully commit to it and passes it off as a joke.
It also has the usual of annoying and bland characters who don't add anything at all to the film except eye rolling and cringeworthy moments. I also hated Adam Sandlers accent which got more annoying as it went on.
Overall whilst this is a fine serviceable Sandler film and is far from his worst film, it's certainly doesn't add anything new.
