Hubie Halloween
Film
Oct. 7
It seems that Adam Sandler takes his threats seriously. Most notably is the one he made for the off chance that his film Uncut Gems fails to win an Oscar; a threat to make the worst movie of his entire career. And it’s coming. Sandler stars as Hubie Dubois, an aloof little oaf with what audiences can interpret as either an odd accent or a speech impediment. Hubie just adores Halloween and the spooky season, and is left to face some real monsters alone when everyone thinks he’s crying wolf. Others conjoined in the cast list are such as Kenan Thompson, Maya Rudolph, Steve Buscemi and a whole lot more people plucked from the celebrity grab bag.
