Hubie Halloween

Do you hate yourself?

If the answer is yes then watch Hubie Halloween, the new Adam Sandler offering from Netflix and let the self loathing wash over you.

I only dislike myself moderately so turned off after 15 minutes.

It starts promisingly with a cameo from Happy Gilmore. You start thinking "oh it could have potential." Could we have a new Wedding Singer here? Maybe something fun like Big Daddy? Maybe this will be more Murder Mystery than The Do-Over?

Then the star appears. And he's doing a wacky accent. Oh no, flashbacks to Little Nicky and The Waterboy. 

Christ. All hope has vanished. Then you look closer.

Sandler has the dead eyes in it. The look of a man who's tied into a contractual obligation and who hates himself for it.

How can someone make a film like Uncut Gems and this in the same 12 months. Mind boggling.


DON'T WATCH IT. I LIED EARLIER. EVEN IF YOU HATE YOURSELF DON'T DO IT.
