A beautiful adaptation.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Based on Fiona Rosenbloom’s 2005 young adult novel of the same name, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is a great watch for the whole family. Alison Peck’s screenplay is a family affair, both in front of and behind the scenes. Starring Adam Sandler, Sunny Sandler, Samantha Lorraine, Idina Menzel, Jackie Sandler, and Sadie Sandler, this coming-of-age dramedy is a win for Netflix and audiences alike.
As with many coming-of-age stories, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah appropriately blends drama and comedy in a way that feels relatable and timely. Screenwriter Alison Peck does an exceptional job of including language familiar to gen-Z while maintaining a sensible balance to reach audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Through Stacy and Lydia’s friendship, the script celebrates growing up within the Jewish religion in a way that is beautiful and non-stereotypical.
Ultimately though, this family affair is not only great for audiences of all types, but it’s good to see longtime entertainer Adam Sandler have some fun on screen with his own family. Director Sammi Cohen recognizes the chemistry of her cast and lets them operate within their natural dynamic, which in turn leads to great performances and situations anyone can see themselves within.
