¡No estás invitada a mi bat mitzvá!

My wife and I recently enjoyed You Are Not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah (2023) on Netflix. The story revolves around a teenager as she navigates the complexities of popularity, friendships, love interests, and her upcoming Bat Mitzvah.

Directed by Sammi Cohen (Crush) and featuring a cast including Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore), Luis Guzmán (Traffic), Jackie Sandler (Pixels), Sadie Sandler (Jack and Jill), and Samantha Lorraine (The Walking Dead: World Beyond).

This coming-of-age film is a unique and somewhat uneven experience. The storyline incorporates a multitude of distinctive elements and perspectives, making for both entertaining and occasionally frustrating circumstances. Every situation depicted feels grounded, realistic, and authentic. The bond between the Sandler sisters and Adam Sandler adds a heartwarming touch, although the main character can be rather annoying at times. The resolution at the end is both worthwhile and rewarding. This has a sitcom caliber comedic content that's entertaining and fun.

In conclusion, You Are Not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah offers a unique take on the coming-of-age genre that is well worth your time. I would give this a rating of 6/10 and strongly recommend checking it out.

All the best parts and any attempts at humor are in the trailer, so don't expect to see anything more that may make you laugh throughout the bloated and predictable 103 min runtime. The story was targeted to a younger teen audience and will mostly be relatable to those that understand the culture and religion of this film's theme. As a whole, the story is rather cliched and bland, and something that's been done many times before, and much better, with the only difference being the cultural theme. There are many better coming of age stories and funnier ones too. Adam Sandler's daughters gave a better performance than he did, as it felt Adam had better places to be at instead of this film. It's probably one of his most bland, underwhelming and amateurish performances I've seen him in. I'm baffled by the high Tomatometer rating, as this film at best is a generous 6/10 from me.

Good for kids I think. Although...I will still give it a 5 because the adults were quite funny. Also the older sister haha. But the rest was just annoying. Then again it was not meant for my group age.

It is a family business movie. Obviously it was made so they can bank from it and also so they can work together. The latter is kinda cute because why not! Must have been fun for the girls to work with mom and Dad on set haha. I know I would! Lucky ladies.

Otherwise its just a silly movie. Although not sure we should encourage girls to believe that they become adults at the age of 13 especially at this day and age. But hey who am I to judge a whole culture. All I say is be careful and being a kid is a precious time! Enjoy it while you can.

While I am not particularly a fan of Adam Sandler, then I still sat down to watch the 2023 comedy "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah", as I was asked if I wanted to watch it. And I believed I was in for a traditional Adam Sandler comedy here, as I had heard nothing about the movie.

Turns out that this was not your archetypical Adam Sandler comedy, for better or worse. Nay, this was a coming-of-age story of a girl having her Bat Mitzvah, but things don't go as planned. I will say that writers Alison Peck and Fiona Rosenbloom actually put together a good and enjoyable script for the movie. And while the movie might be aimed at a younger audience than what I fall into, then the movie actually was entertaining nonetheless.

The acting performances in "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" were good, and it wasn't an Adam Sandler lead movie, for better or worse. I found it nice to see him in a support role here, and the leading young actresses Sunny Sandler (playing Stacy) and Samantha Lorraine (playing Lydia) carried the movie quite well. The movie had good acting performances and there were some good talents on the cast list.

If you enjoy teen comedies, then "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" is a movie well-worth checking out and spending 103 minutes on watching. I was genuinely entertained by it.

My rating of director Sammi Cohen's 2023 movie lands on a six out of ten stars.

Very familiar story but cute film! Think diary of a wimpy kid but female. I liked the Sandler girls in this movie! I thought Sunny was great in her role as Stacy. I thought the role of Andy G ("factssss") was perfect for what this role was going for. I know this is an Adam Sandler movie but it's also feeling like a hand off of comedic career to his daughters. His eldest was very funny in it even though i felt more of her was needed. It is touching to see him older as dad and the focus on his daughter. It's a young teen vibe and movie. The actress playing Lydia was very good too as was the friend Kyle. He was ADORABLE! But we didn't see enough of him unfortunately. The Mateo kid I didn't really get , he is awkwardly younger and the flirting between him and the lead felt just as awkward as the accent they have him trying to use. But if they were going for awkward i guess they hit it? I also loved the character of the rabbi- the actress is from SNL and she was really fun to watch. The story has been done in different ways and I found it interesting they did the "dear god..." thing like in the Margaret film/books but overall it's a film where the chemistry between the two leading actresses as well as the sisters felt very authentic. I thought Adam as dad was sweet and honestly it was also sweet that he took a backseat to his daughter. She really did a great job!
