6/10
A unique take on the coming-of-age genre that is well worth your time
8 October 2023
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.
