Featured reviews
This is definitely a Adam Sandler/Happy Madison Halloween story, through and through. Lots of dirt humor throughout, and way too many pee jokes.
While it tries to put a wholesome "life lesson" twist on it, but as the whole movie is satirical, it doesn't come off sincere at all. Almost like it's promoting abuse as funny.
The humor is questionable at points, but the majority of the movie is really enjoyable with a pretty well written script and some really great moments throughout the movie.
As it moves into a mystery movie it relies less on the investigation and traditional "drip feeding" of information on discovery and more of a battle against almost everyone in the town basically wanting Hubie dead. It is weirdly dark in that regard.
You'll probably have a good time, but will most likely come out the other side with a, "Well, that was weird.".
It has everything, costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, kids on bicycles, lots of different masks, corn field maze, a werewolf, a psycho on the run, as well as fellas enjoying horror films at the drive ins n kids at home. It even has some nice cameos n a fat mom with lovely tshirts. The film moves at a steady pace, has lots of comedy n an enjoyable twist.
