Hubie Halloween

I think 2020 is getting to me. Am I crazy or is the new Adam Sandler Netflix comedy “Hubie Halloween” actually good? I mean, with a name like that, Sandler is practically daring us to hate it.

For a while now, Sandler’s name has not exactly been associated with quality filmmaking but there was a run in the mid-'90s to the mid-2000s in which he made some entertaining films. Sure, his comedies were never sophisticated and they were often juvenile and stupid, but they were also affable and disarmingly silly.
