Enjoyable teen comedy...

While I am not particularly a fan of Adam Sandler, then I still sat down to watch the 2023 comedy "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah", as I was asked if I wanted to watch it. And I believed I was in for a traditional Adam Sandler comedy here, as I had heard nothing about the movie.

Turns out that this was not your archetypical Adam Sandler comedy, for better or worse. Nay, this was a coming-of-age story of a girl having her Bat Mitzvah, but things don't go as planned. I will say that writers Alison Peck and Fiona Rosenbloom actually put together a good and enjoyable script for the movie. And while the movie might be aimed at a younger audience than what I fall into, then the movie actually was entertaining nonetheless.

The acting performances in "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" were good, and it wasn't an Adam Sandler lead movie, for better or worse. I found it nice to see him in a support role here, and the leading young actresses Sunny Sandler (playing Stacy) and Samantha Lorraine (playing Lydia) carried the movie quite well. The movie had good acting performances and there were some good talents on the cast list.

If you enjoy teen comedies, then "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" is a movie well-worth checking out and spending 103 minutes on watching. I was genuinely entertained by it.

My rating of director Sammi Cohen's 2023 movie lands on a six out of ten stars.
