Adam Sandler and His Family to Star in Film Adaptation of YOU ARE SO NOT INVITED TO MY BAT MITZVAH
Adam Sandler (Billy Madison, Big Daddy, 50 First Dates) and his family - including wife Jackie and teenage daughters Sunny and Sadie, have joined the cast of the film adaptation of You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, based on the beloved coming of age novel by Fiona Rosenbloom. Idina Menzel, who played Sandler’s wife in Uncut Gems, will also appear in the film with Saturday Night Live newcomer Sarah Sherman and Sandler’s Punch-Drunk Love co-star, actor Luis Guzmán. The logline for the film reads, “A girl’s bat mitzvah plans comedically unravel and threaten to ruin one of the most important events of her young life.”
Netflix has not clarified who anyone will be playing in the teen comedy, which is currently in production. The cast also includes Ido Mosseri (You Don’t Mess with the Zohan), Samantha Lorraine (The Walking Dead: World Beyond), Dylan Hoffman (Next), Dean Scott Vazquez (Transformers: Rise of The Beasts), Miya Cech (Always Be My Maybe), Dylan Dash (The Great), Millie Thorpe (Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion), and newcomers Zaara Kuttemperoor and Ivory Baker.
“The very early-2000s set story (references to Ashlee Simpson, flip phones and snap bracelets abound) follows Stacey Friedman, who is preparing for one of the most important events in her young life, her bat mitzvah. But in the lead up to the big day, she’s thrown for a loop after catching her bestie Lydia Katz locking lips with her crush Andy Goldfarb. The betrayal causes a verklempt Stacey to declare the sentence that inspires the unwieldy title… ‘you are so not invited to my bat mitzvah!’”
This sounds like a really fun movie, and I look forward to watching! Are you on board for Sandler’s new project?
