Critics Consensus

A coming-of-age comedy that sidesteps simple nostalgia, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah finds fresh humor in adolescent anxiety -- and suggests a bright future for star Sunny Sandler.

Audience Says

Cute but predictable, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah isn't aimed at grown-up Sandler fans, but should entertain teens.

Newsday

What sounds like an excruciating work of nepotism emerges as something far better: a frothy and lightweight comedy that ends up having something of a genuine heart.

Rated: 2.5/4

Breakfast All Day

This has a lot of Judy Bloom in its DNA, in terms of dealing honestly with what young women go through.

Empire Magazine

The rare teen movie that recognises crushes are never as important or powerful as BFFs — and one that marks an intriguing new direction for Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison productions.

Rated: 3/5

Cinéfilo Serial

With more than effective humor and the Sandler clan (and other additions) that more than delivers, we can say that coming-of-age stories are becoming more and more interesting and are refreshing young adult stories a bit. [Full Review in Spanish]

Beau ..

(Spoiler Alert)This movie centers around two best friends who have a falling out over a boy before their Bat Mitzvahs. It shows how something as small as a soccer player can rock someone’s whole friend group. It was amazing how Sandler’s entire family was it this movie, playing near-identical roles as if this was real life. Teen drama, entertaining to watch.

As a teen this movie was an uncomfortable watch. Although i definitely agree that kids are becoming way too invested in topics they shouldnt such are trying too hard to be attractive (which was shown throughout the movie) it was not discouraged or even criticized, which should have been a point the movie addresses if its gonna be included. Adam Sandler movie humor when the movie features adults feels different to when the movie features kids. Some of the scenes were over the top or not really age appropriate. The message was great however there were some scenes that conflicted with the message or really were unnecessary and provided no entertainment value. Otherwise, Sunny Sandler did great with her lead role and would defmitely give other movies a try.

I usually enjoy Sandler movies. Not this one, very boring script. I stopped watching after half sn hour maybe the nepotism hiring his own family that were not great did not help.either.
