<p><strong>Hubie Halloween (Netflix) English </strong></p>.<p><strong>Director: Steven Brill </strong></p>.<p><strong>Cast: Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen</strong></p>.<p><strong>Rating: 2.5/5</strong></p>.<p>The month of Halloween is here. Meh, after 2020, nothing is going to be too scary.</p>.<p>Salem — not the one in Tamil Nadu— is all set for Halloween and Hubie Dubois (Adam Sandler), the town’s punching bag with a multi-purpose thermos, is ready to monitor the festivities, only to get almost everything, from a brick to a television, thrown at him, which, to his credit, he dodges like a pro.</p>.<p>A big man with a child’s brain, Hubie always ends up being the butt of the jokes — there is nothing that cannot scare him.</p>.<p>But this year, Salem has more eerie surprises waiting.</p>.<p>Falling into the same genre as the Scary Movie series, the highlight here is Hubie's accent and his thermos.</p>.<p>This Swiss-army thermos not only keeps his soup warm but acts as a screwdriver, a telescope, a scoop, a pump carrier, an umbrella and whatnot.</p>.<p>The jokes are meant to be hilarious but only evoke a smirk — often the crutches are Hubei’s thermos or him being made fun off.</p>.<p>Hubie learns that the word “boner” means a “mistake”. You can think of the jokes that follow.</p>.<p>The characters around Hubie are not memorable. The film has two Indian characters: Ms Banerjee and Hubie’s co-worker Deli Mike Mundi.</p>.<p>It’s a film to watch if you have nothing else to do and sing along “Monster Mash”. 2020 is not a great year for horror movies, because you can't one-up that guy.</p>
