Hubie Halloween

51Watch it awake.

A man the town mocks still appoints himself its watchman. The jokes are cheaper than he is.

The review

Adam Sandler plays a man with no status and a real assignment, which is a better idea than the movie's jokes deserve. Hubie is ridiculous. He is also the only adult on the street who thinks other people's children are his business on the one night they are wandering. That is the piece worth keeping.

The humor is crude enough to make this a poor choice for Kiki and a noisy one for anyone. If the house watches it, watch it for the man who is mocked and still shows up. Then go outside and know who is on your own street.

Journal

Keep Hubie Halloween in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 51. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Temperance are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch

63 instead of 51

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch is still a comedy film, and it scores 63 instead of 51. What you gain is household: Sisters, and a creature who has become a brother.

The eight

5
Industry
He has a post: the deli, the patrol, the thermos. The town needs the post more than it admits.
6
Household
He lives with his mother and is faithful to her in a way the film does not sneer at.
3
Piety
Halloween is the religion of the town. His diligence is the only piety.
6
Courage
They have laughed at him for decades. He goes toward the trouble anyway.
7
Republic
Salem is a town, and the joke is that everyone knows everyone, including the boy who never left.
4
Temperance
The gags are bodily and repetitive. The duty is not.
5
Truth
He is right, and the cool people are wrong. The film is clear about that.
5
Stewardship
He is keeping a childhood holiday safe for other people's children.

Best of the Best

51Watch it awake.

The practice is the good. The rivalry, the drinking, and the sex talk are the tax. Watch it with her, not as a sleepover.

The review

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan's Maya and her oldest friend join the team that was supposed to prove they still belong to each other. Lena Khan's picture is about work: rehearsal, a captain, a routine that does not care about your history. Then it is about a campus, which means the other curriculum — drinks, a smoke, talk that treats sex as the way you rank people.

A thirteen-year-old will call it a dance movie. Sit in the room. When the friendship cracks, ask which of them told the truth and which of them performed it. Leave if the party becomes the point.
