Hubie Halloween on Netflix ends with Sandler's character preventing a community fire but still being mocked by locals. His mother then gives a moving speech about how her son saved "four ungrateful jackasses," and Mrs. Hennessey (Rudolph) chimes in by acknowledging that Hubie may not have a lot of sex, but he does have that special thing called hope.
