You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah

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.

Somehow this movie is getting rated badly, it isnt that bad. Hopefully people give it some decent numbers to try and change the star rating to what it should be.

Its a classic Sandler movie, but you can tell theres been some real thought put into this one.

Theres some good laughs and tear jerkers and it has a good story. Its a decent comedy and worth the watch.

It will be interesting to see where the sandler girls go from here you can tell this is the start of something big for them as there is some true talent there.

A well done flick with laughs about the highs and lows of becoming a adult, watch it and dont be the jerk giving it 2 stars.

It's a cute little movie that i sbviously made for the younger crowd.

I love the fact this is truly a family film, Adam Sandler, his beautiful wife, and two daughters.

The clothing is modest. I don't recall hearing any foul langauge. Yeah, there is some crude Sandler style humor but not outragous.

Sandler's daughters are cute as can be and actually have some talent. Granted it will grow with time and training. It will be fun to watch them grow.

I can't pretend to understand the concept of such a great expense of a party at that age, but then again I don't understand the concept of expensive weddings. So what do I know?

Sit back. Enjoy the show. Learn a bit about the Jewish religion and watch the struggles of a young teenage girl navigating hte world and a father's equally painful struggle with watching his little girls grow up.

I can't say that I'm an Adam Sandler fan but i have liked some of his work. This film is one of them.

I was exhausted and decided to crash in front of the TV. I started Netflix and the movie started before I could see what else was on. I was too lazy to change it.

Sandler did a put together a very enjoyable and poignant film. The writing is good as are the directing and editing. His daughters have talent and felt at home in their parts. And I just loved Luis Guzman as a Jewish father.

The movie is obviously a coming of age film and it depicted the trauma and joy that can engulf a family, in this case Jewish, at a critical developmental point in life.

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!
