The official synopsis for You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah from Netflix reads,
Lifelong best friends Stacy (Sunny Sandler) and Lydia (Samantha Lorraine) have long dreamt of epic bat mitzvahs but when popular boy Andy Goldfarb (Dylan Hoffman) and Hebrew school drama come between them, their perfect plans go comically awry. Directed by Sammi Cohen, produced by Happy Madison and Alloy Entertainment, and also starring Idina Menzel, Sadie Sandler, Sarah Sherman, Luis Guzmán, and Jackie & Adam Sandler, You are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah chronicles the high comedy and modern teen angst that comes with family, friendship, and first crushes.
The producers include Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy for Happy Madison; Leslie Morgenstein and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton for Alloy Entertainment with executive producers Judit Maull, Kevin Grady, Barry Bernardi, Greg Denny.
You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is directed by Sammi Cohen from a screenplay by Alison Peck, which was based on the book by Fiona Rosenbloom. Cohen stated, “I was excited to tell a Jewish coming-of-age story that explores formative female friendships and self-discovery in a real, messy, authentic way. Stacy and Lydia’s chemistry is undeniable. They’re little platonic soulmates. The kind of friends who make you feel nostalgic for your own. It’s relatable. It’s messy. It encapsulates the first kind of love many of us experience: your childhood best friend.”
The director also addressed the Sandlers working on the project, “The Sandlers made me part of the family. It was this really beautiful thing where everyone had space to do their own thing, but always had support when they needed it. There’s a natural chemistry you get with the Sandlers that makes everything feel real and slice-of-life. What was really special to watch was how the movie mirrored real life. Right before filming, Sunny had her actual bat mitzvah. It was a big coming-of-age moment for everyone. And filming the movie felt like a continuation of that.”
You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is due for Netflix on August 25. Let us know what you thought of the trailer by leaving a comment below.
