Every year or two, he shoots and he scores and now Adam Sandler has done it again.
How many classics has he got? Happy Gilmore, Uncut Gems, Click, The Wedding Singer, Hustle, Big Daddy and Punch Drunk Love, but now there’s seemingly one more to add to that list.
Ladies and gentlemen, that movie is You Are So Not Invited To My Bar Mitzvah and it is now the highest-rated film of Adam Sandler’s entire career.
Adam Sandler’s new movie with his family is the highest rated of his career.
Starring almost all of Sandler’s family, the Netflix movie focuses on Stacy Friedman (played by Sandler’s daughter Sunny) and her best friend, Lydia Katz (Samantha Lorraine), who have been best friends for years.
However, while Stacy is busy planning her bar mitzvah, Lydia ends up dating Stacy’s crush, causing them to have a huge fallout.
Based on the 2005 young adult novel of the same name, the film also stars Adam Sandler, his other daughter Sadie and his wife Jackie, as well as Idina Menzel (Uncut Gems), Jackie Hoffman (Feud), Luis Guzmán (Punch-Drunk Love), Sarah Sherman (Saturday Night Live).
You Are So Not Invited To My Bar Mitzvah has been very well reviewed by critics, earning Sandler is highest score to date on Rotten Tomatoes with 96%.
Rolling Stone’s Chris Vognar wrote: “Cry nepotism all you want, but the entire brood acquits itself quite well, and they seem to be having an infectiously good time together. It helps a great deal that the film is energetically directed and written.”
While critic Jeff York added: “In both Sunny Sandler and Samantha Lorraine, the production has two very accomplished young actresses holding center stage. They deliver the zippy zingers, excel at the physical comedy, and play the pathos for all its worth.”
You Are So Not Invited To My Bar Mitzvah is now available to stream on Netflix.
