Hubie Halloween Review: Light and Nostalgic Comedy

 Only Adam Sandler is an appreciable part of this October flick.

Although the title is “Hubie Halloween” but there is nothing Halloween-like in this film. Frankly, the horror elements are comical, and the comedy is horrifying. Perhaps, that’s too harsh of a comment; you will have giggles with few jokes here and there.

The one thing that is appreciable is that the new Netflix film is consistent with Adam Sandler’s recent recurring maxim that kindness triumphs over cruelty.


The best joke told in the film is the zinger “Kayaking Gets Me Wet” written across the chest of a 90-year-old actress June Squibb. If you giggled at the joke, then be my guest, you can proceed towards “Hubie Halloween”, but I am obliged to give a strict caveat that most of the jokes in the film should not be even called a joke even if we are considering the standards set by the comedian/actor himself.

However, the film is light-hearted and does not pretend to be anything other than that. So, I don’t reckon it deserves so much criticism. To be fair with it, it’s lively and jaunty in some scenes and Adam Sandler’s acting does make up for the badly written plot.

The hardcore fans of Sandler and June Squibb who are actually multi-generational may find plenty to like about, but then again you shouldn’t ask the hardcore fans about the review of a particular film. The life lessons that the film gives does feel like a Sunday afternoon gospel from a 70-year-old preacher. Lessons like “be kind”, “don’t make fun of anyone weaker than you,” “don’t ever bully someone,” are pretty strong and undebatable, but if you fill the film with Sandler’s tantrums, and derogatory jokes, I don’t reckon people will take your advice so seriously.

Adam Sandler though clearly has slacked while writing the story but has impressed massively with his acting. It was not earlier than last year that he impressed the world with his method acting in Netflix crime thriller “Uncut Gems” which saw him winning an Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead. The way he transformed his acting process from a serious, methodical routine to his usual connate comic self is worthy of praise (a pattern which is similar to Sacha Baron Cohen’s works in the recent past). If you can compare his roles in “Uncut Gems” and in “Hubie Halloween” you might feel that you are seeing two actors in different roles and that speaks volumes for his acting caliber.

Bleach: Life of Shuhei Hisagi

  Bleach has some characters that are very respectful and dutiful, like Byakuya Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki. But very few of them can emulate the example set by Shuhei Hisagi. His character might not have been the center of attention or significant, but that does not mean he lived an uninspiring life. He was an excellent example for other Soul Reapers to follow. But it seems no one was able to stand up to the standards set by him.   Shuhei’s journey on the show starts 110 years before the main events. He used to be just another young boy back in those days, but everything was about to change. When he was living in Rukongaki, they were confronted with an enormous Hollow. They were helpless but lucky enough that Captain Kensei Muguruma came to their side and rescued them. The events had a long-lasting effect on Shuhei, whose future was paved by the events that day. He wanted to emulate and follow his new hero, who had saved him. So, as soon as he was old enough, he enrolled...
