Adam Sandler and Netflix Adapting You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah

Adam Sandler will be teaming up with Netflix once again to adapt You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, a coming-of-age novel by Fiona Rosenbloom, into a film.

Sandler and his entire family, wife Jackie and daughters Sunny and Sadie, will be in the film alongside Idina Menzel (Frozen), Saturday Night Live‘s Sarah Sherman, and Luis Guzmán (Punch-Drunk Love). There’s currently no word on which character each cast member is playing.

Sammi Cohen is currently set to direct the film, while Alison Peck pens the script. Producing the film is Sandler, alongside Happy Madison executive Tim Herlihy, Leslie Morgenstein, and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton for Alloy Entertainment. Other Happy Madison executives Barry Bernardi, Kevin Grady, and Judit Maull are set to executive produce.

“The novel follows Stacey Friedman, who is preparing for one of the most important events in her young life, her bat mitzvah,” reads the novel’s synopsis. “But in the lead up to the big day, she’s thrown for a loop after catching her bestie Lydia Katz locking lips with her crush Andy Goldfarb. The betrayal causes a verklempt Stacey to declare the sentence that inspires the unwieldy title… ‘you are so not invited to my bat mitzvah!'”
