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.
Like most, I clicked because it's an Adam Sandler film. He doesn't appear in it often, he's more of a side character so again if you're expecting a classic Sandler comedy with him as the main aspect then think again. The humour just wasn't the same as they went for a more teen humour and not Sandler humour, so it's really not what I imagine most will expect when clicking on this.
So the film. Is it any good? It's very average and bland to put it bluntly. Humour didn't stick with me, forgettable plot and characters weren't particularly likeable either. I got a bit bored midway as you know how this film will end and the journey to get there isn't thrilling either.
For me, the characters were the most frustrating part of this watch. They definitely had elements nailed on in terms of how 13 year old girls act and behave at school etc but the personalities sucked. Stacy, the main character here, kept making awful decisions and just had a poor character arc that really made me not like her by the end.
It's honestly just an average watch that you will likely forget by tomorrow morning.
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.
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.
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.
