You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah is a typical coming of age film, that brings some Jewish culture in it, but not much more!!!

3 Mitzvahs

What I Like:

-I liked seeing a little bit of the Jewish culture of today, and learning a little bit more of this whole bat or bar mitzvah thing and what it really entails, it was interesting to see
-Adam Sandler brought his whole family into this film with his real wife playing another mom, and his two daughters with Sunny Sandler playing the titular role, you can tell and feel the authenticity of their roles playing with each other, and they looked like they were having fun, and you still get Adam Sandler playing his typical self

The So So:

-Sunny Sandler role was playing a girl whose Bat Mitzvah is coming up, and she is going through many different phases a young teenagers life, and she was good at it, but it all just felt way too familiar teen drama, I just felt maybe she would have showed more of her comedy chops or maybe bring in something more

What I Didn’t Like:

-Like I said before, other than the whole Bat Mitzvah culture of today, it really didn’t bring nothing new to the table, it felt like a movie that I have already seen before

Overall:

Said it once, and I will say it again. The film was fine, especially coming from Netflix, and I can appreciate what Adam Sandler is trying to bring in this film with the Jewish culture and his own family. However, it didn’t feel new or genuine enough for me to really enjoy it. Especially with the film Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret. Coming out in the same year which has similarities, but the latter felt more effective for me. Regardless, there is some substance that you can enjoy, plus some Adam Sandler fun as a dad can entertain!!!

Real Rating:
