Adam Sandler (Billy Madison, Great dad, 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 not so invited to My Bat Mitzvahbased on the beloved coming-of-age novel by Fiona Rosenbloom. Idina Menzelwho played Sandler’s wife in Uncut gemswill also appear in the movie with Live Saturday night New arrival Sara Sherman and Sandler Drunkard love co-star, actor Luis Guzman. The film’s plot reads: “A girl’s bat mitzvah plans are comically unraveled and threaten to ruin one of the most important events in her young life.”
Netflix hasn’t made it clear who will play someone in the teen comedy, which is currently in production. The cast also includes Ido Mosseri (Don’t mess with the Zohan), Samantha Lorraine (The Walking Dead: the 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 (Ultraviolet and black scorpio), and newcomers Zaara Kuttemperoor And Ivory baker.
“The story set in the early 2000s (references to Ashlee Simpson, cell phones and snap bracelets abound) follows Stacey Friedman, who is preparing for one of the most important events of her young life, her bat mitzvah. But ahead of the big day, she gets shocked after catching her best friend Lydia Katz closing her lips with her crush Andy Goldfarb. The betrayal causes a verklempt Stacey to declare the phrase that inspires the cumbersome title … ‘you’re not so invited to my bat mitzvah!’ “
It sounds like a really fun movie and I can’t wait to see it! Are you on board for Sandler’s new project?
