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.

John Nugent

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

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Cohen’s vision is lush and colorful, creating truly dream-worthy parties with more than one homage to 27 Dresses.

Joe Lipsett

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast

It's a little too Mean Girls and leaves out the book's best character (justice for Arthur), but the Sandler clan have great chemistry and Cohen knows how to direct a breezy, fun YA comedy.

Rated: 3/5

Radio Times

The result is a family whose easy familiarity is instantly endearing, which makes up for the lack of real innovation elsewhere.

An awful uncomfortable rehashing of miserable teenage years that are best forgotten. Not to mention it’s little more than an excuse to get the whole Sandler family on screen. Two hours I wish I could have back.

(Assisti em 2023) Gostei muito do filme, assisti ele no ano que lançou, não acredito que a Lydia namorou com o garoto que sua amiga gostava, além de que ela deu risada quando a Stacy pulou no rio com o absorve mestruado, mas que bom que no final elas se desculparam. Basicamente seu Bat Mitzvá foi arruinado por vídeos que não eram pra ser expostos em público, além de sua ex melhor amiga estar nele. Só que a Stacy foi muito gentil de dar seu Bat Mitzvá para Lydia. E ainda deu o beijo no Andy.
