If you’re longing for the days of John Hughes teen movies, but hoping for something more tapped into present day, this movie is exactly what you need. We adored it.
You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is set in the days leading up to Stacy Friedman’s (Sunny Sandler) bat mitzvah. She yearning a New York-themed blowout of a party and wants to start dating her school crush. Stacy’s not particularly concerned with the actual meaning of the ceremony.
Stacy is constantly pressuring her parents Danny (Adam Sandler) and Bree (Idina Menzel) to give her everything she could dream of for her bat mitzvah, with added sarcastic commentary from her older sister Ronnie (Sadie Sandler).
By her side at all times is Stacy’s friend Lydia (Samantha Lorraine) who always has her back. But one massively embarrassing moment, and a betrayal of friendship, causes a shift for the two teens just before both Lydia and Stacy have their bat mitzvahs.
