Hubie Halloween Is Just the Latest Addition to Adam Sandler's Netflix Filmography

08/10/2020 - 11:15 PM

You can expect to associate the name Adam Sandler [1] with Netflix for the foreseeable future. Since 2014, the actor has made six movies and one comedy special for the streaming service, with four more movies on the way thanks to an extended deal [2] with the streaming service. Because of the deal, we've gotten gems like Murder Mystery [3] and The Week Of and a couple of misses — who can forget The Ridiculous 6? With Hubie Halloween [4], it seems that Sandler is taking inspiration from some of his biggest hits. Hubie does feel like an alternate universe version of Bobby Boucher [5], just saying. If that's the kind of humour we can look forward to, we can't wait to see what else the partnership will bring. Until then, why not check out all of his current Netflix specific offerings below?

The Ridiculous 6 (2015)

A parody of The Magnificent Seven, The Ridiculous 6 was Sandler's first feature film for the streaming service after their deal in 2014. The film follows White Knife, an orphan raised by Native Americans and played by Sandler, as he discovers that five outlaws are actually his half-brothers. The group then bands together to find their long-lost dad.

The Do-Over (2016)

Old friends Charlie and Max, played by real-life friends David Spade and Sandler, reunite at their high school reunion and commiserate over their terrible lives. The pair decide to fake their deaths and start over, only for everything to go awry when they realise the identities they decide to take on are connected to criminal activity.

Sandy Wexler (2017)

Sandy Wexler, played by Sandler, is a talent manager in 1990s Los Angeles. His eccentric clients are on the fringes of success when he falls in love with a singer he discovers at an amusement park. His devotion is put to the test when his antics cause his clients to fail.

The Week Of (2018)

Two fathers, played by Chris Rock [9] and Sandler, have to set their conflicting personalities aside for the good of their children's wedding. The pair's families are forced to spend the week leading up to the wedding together, making them wish the big day would come much sooner.

Adam Sandler: 100% Fresh (2018)

Unlike the rest of the movies on this list, Sandler's comedy special wasn't a part of his Netflix deal. During the special, Sandler is in peak form, rattling out some of his best jokes in years. That being said, the highlight of the special is his tribute song to his late friend Chris Farley — which could bring a tear to almost anyone's eye.

Murder Mystery (2019)

We love when Jennifer Aniston [12] and Sandler get together — their chemistry is palpable. The pair play a couple trying to save their marriage with a European holiday. Things go south when they're framed for the murder of an elderly billionaire, and it's up to them to clear their name.

Hubie Halloween (2020)

The very epitome of Adam Sandler [14] making a movie to take a paid holiday with his friends [15], Hubie Halloween [16] sees Sandler's return to being a goofy outcast. Hubie Dubois is the self-appointed caretaker of Halloween in Salem, MA, and when strange things start to happen . . . it's up to him to save the day.
