While not a travesty on the scale of The Ridiculous 6, the film did not go down well with audiences. Nevertheless, it mostly wastes them, producing only a few charming moments. Hubie Halloween is veritably stuffed with talented performers, including Julie Bowen, Rob Schneider, Ray Liotta, June Squibb, Kenan Thompson, Steve Buscemi, Shaquille O'Neal, and Maya Rudolph. His investigation involves haunted houses, a self-proclaimed werewolf, and a vengeful kidnapper. When people begin disappearing, Hubie becomes the unlikely hero as he sets out to solve the mystery and protect his neighbors. Police sergeant Steve Downey ( Kevin James) makes Hubie an "AUU" (auxiliary undercover unit) in an attempt to get him out of his hair, but Hubie takes to this role with zeal. The hapless Hubie (Sandler) is a delicatessen employee who is mocked by almost everyone in the town. This horror-themed comedy takes place in Salem, Massachusetts, during Halloween. The Week Of may not be as atrocious as The Ridiculous 6, but it's in some ways even more disappointing, since it falls short of its potential. The cast is strong (the hilarious Rachel Dratch also appears in a supporting role) but they are let down by an under-cooked script. Much of the humor stems from his various schemes at organizing the event on the cheap, like enlisting his 12-year-old nephew as the DJ or getting wacky relative Charles ( Steve Buscemi) to release bats as a distraction (don't ask). Rather than let Kirby contribute to the wedding, Kenny stubbornly insists on paying for everything himself. On the other hand, Kirby, a successful surgeon, offers to cover the expenses but struggles to connect with his son, Tyler ( Roland Buck III). Kenny, a hardworking middle-class father, is determined to give his daughter Sarah ( Allison Strong) the wedding of her dreams, despite his financial struggles.
The Week Of follows the chaos leading up to the wedding of the respective children of Kenny Lustig (Adam Sandler) and Kirby Cordice ( Chris Rock).
