Netflix is adapting Fiona Rosenbloom’s coming-of-age novel “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah” into a feature film with the help of Hollywood star Adam Sandler.
Sandler’s entire family, his wife Jackie and their teenage daughters Sunny and Sadie, will co-star in the movie.
The cast also includes Sarah Sherman, Luis Guzmán, Ido Mosseri, Samantha Lorraine, Dylan Hoffman, Dean Scott Vazquez, Miya Cech, Dylan Dash, Millie Thorpe, Zaara Kuttemperoor, and Ivory Baker.
The project will also reunite the actor with Idina Menzel, who played his spouse in 2019's “Uncut Gems”.
The teen comedy is currently in production.
While the novel takes place in the early-2000s, the movie is set in the present day and follows Stacey Friedman, who is preparing for one of the most important events in her young life, her bat mitzvah.
However, in the lead-up to the big day, she catches her bestie Lydia Katz kissing her crush Andy Goldfarb. The betrayal causes a verklempt Stacey to declare the sentence that inspires the title… “you are so not invited to my bat mitzvah!”.
Sammi Cohen, best known for the YA movie “Crush” starring Rowan Blanchard, is directing “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah” from a script by Alison Peck.
Sandler is also producing the project alongside Happy Madison executive Tim Herlihy.
Additional producers include Leslie Morgenstein and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton for Alloy Entertainment. Happy Madison executives Barry Bernardi, Judit Maull, and Kevin Grady will serve as executive producers.
The novel has a follow-up called “We Are So Crashing Your Bar Mitzvah”.
