By prioritising friendship over romance You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is a really good coming of age comedy with a mostly fresh perspective. The broader humour doesn't always work but it's constantly endearing and has more than enough memorable jokes.
Sunny Sandler is great, leading the film with ease and having a friendship with Samantha Lorraine that's not only the heart of the film but really genuine. Adam Sandler is used just the right amount without ever overshadowing his daughter and their screaming match results in the funniest moment.
Sammi Cohen's direction actually manages to match the energy of its characters throughout and is incredibly vibrant at points. The needle drops are all good choices but excessive in their frequency initially before thankfully getting a bit of breathing space as it goes along.
