Tu peux oublier ma bat-mitsva!

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.

The movie steps into the realm of teenage comedy, attempting to blend heartwarming moments with the chaos of preparing for a significant event. While the film brings a certain charm to the screen, it struggles to break free from the confines of its predictable storyline.

The protagonist's journey is meant to be a comedic rollercoaster, but it sometimes feels more like a leisurely stroll. The film toys with the concept of a teenage coming-of-age story, yet the execution often falls into familiar territory, failing to fully explore the potential of its premise.

Adam Sandler's presence lends the film a sense of familiarity and saves the movie big time. His natural comedic prowess shines through even in a supporting role. The young cast, including Sandler's daughters, adds a touch of authenticity to the teenage interactions, occasionally delivering moments of genuine humor and relatability. The chemistry among the younger actors, Idina, Jackie, Samantha is evident and carries the movie through its lighter moments.

Although the film falls short in truly engaging the audience, the background score kept entertaining. The attempts at humor sometimes land flat, and the character development often remains surface-level. What it majorly lacks is stronger character arcs. Even though the writing is quite so-so, the execution looks weaker.

On the brighter side it manages to present relatable teenage dynamics and familial interactions with a certain warmth. The themes of growing up, friendship, and family love are visible threads woven into the narrative adding to it a humorous chick-flick. Yet, the film occasionally stumbles in balancing these elements, resulting in a movie that can't quite decide whether it wants to be a heartfelt family story or a zany teen comedy.

With its mix of endearing moments and missed opportunities, it manages to evoke a few smiles but leaves room for improvement. For those seeking a lighthearted diversion, the film may have its moments, but it won't be taking center stage among the classics of the teen comedy genre.

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.

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.

I'll start by saying I didn't feel like I was the demographic this movie was going for, felt a lot like a young teen movie than anything else. So bare in mind before chucking it on.

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.
