Growing older is universally acknowledged as a challenging phase in life, but it becomes all the more turbulent when coupled with the turmoil of adolescent emotions and love. This complexity is brought to life in Netflix’s adaptation of Fiona Rosenbloom’s youth novel, You Are SO Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah!. Scheduled for release on August 25, after being announced in July 2022, the official trailer has been unveiled, portraying how a young girl’s rite of passage takes a turn for the worse after an unforeseen treachery.
The film narrates the journey of Stacey Friedman (played by Sunny Sandler) as she gears up for her Bat Mitzvah, a significant Jewish milestone marking a girl’s thirteenth birthday. As the trailer reveals, there’s a lot at stake for Stacey, especially since her father (Adam Sandler) seems to underestimate the event’s gravity. As the preparations unfold, Stacey grapples with societal pressures and her affection for Andy Goldfarb (portrayed by Dylan Hoffman). Though things may not be ideal, she still has her trusted friend, Lydia Katz (Samantha Lorraine).
However, the friendship unravels dramatically when Stacey discovers Lydia kissing Andy, her crush. This breach of trust marks the end of their friendship and unleashes a series of vengeful adolescent antics against Lydia.
