joint, which isn’t especially quick or funny even by the comedian’s basic standards — but is also too cheerfully, indifferently silly to raise much ire.
And solid, inarguable lessons they are, too: Be kind, pretty much, and don’t bully anyone kinder or more vulnerable than you. If the humor of “Hubie Halloween” is somewhat toothless, at least it follows the film’s own rules. Squibb’s randy T-shirt collection aside, Sandler’s script — co-written with longtime collaborator Tim Herlihy — makes the star the butt of most of its jokes, if only so it can then tell us that making anyone the butt of a joke isn’t very nice.
Not counting his zesty, over-protective mother , the only person to give Hubie the time of day is his sweet-natured former classmate Violet , a onetime homecoming queen for whom our tongue-tied hero has always carried a torch. If you’re actually wondering whether his secret longing might be reciprocated, you’ll find “Hubie Halloween” as suspenseful as it is hilarious.
