You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah
Based on the young adult novel of the same name by Fiona Rosenbloom,You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvahstars comedic mastermind Adam Sandler – if you’re after more movies with the comedian, here arefive Adam Sandler movies to watchnext – and his own family, including his wife Jackie and two daughters Sadie and Sunny.
InYou Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,BFFs Stacy Friedman (Sunny) and Lydia Rodriguez Katz (Samantha Lorraine) have always dreamed of having epic bat mitzvahs. However, things go comically wrong when they compete for the attention of the same popular boy and middle school drama threatens to destroy their friendship.
Sandler steps back into a supporting role and lets his daughter Sadie steal the show in this shining coming-of-age comedy that’s as joyous as it is funny. It’s clear that Sandler’s successful goofball comedy has rubbed off on his own family which makesYou Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvaha splendid addition to Netflix’s library.

Robinson pays tribute to many iconic ’90s high school movies with its aesthetic and nostalgic soundtrack, butDo Revengemanages to make its own unique mark on the genre through its satirical humor and Gen-Z self-awareness which I couldn’t help but laugh at. As ourDo Revengereviewwrites: “Do Revengeisn’t your average Netflix teen comedy,” and it’s definitely true.
Let It Snow
Is it too early to add one of thegreat Christmas movies on Netflix? Perhaps, butLet It Snowis perfect for any time of the year. This festive teen comedy is like a young adult version ofLove Actuallyand is adapted from the novelLet It Snow: Three Holiday Romancesby Maureen Johnson, John Green, and Lauren Myracle.
Let It Snowtakes place on Christmas Eve as a snowstorm hits a small midwestern town in Illinois, bringing together a group of teenagers who soon find their friendships and love lives intertwining – it certainly proves to be a Christmas to remember.
The likeable characters is what makes this a true Christmas gift with a diverse cast of up-and-comers, such as Isabela Merced, Kiernan Shipka, Jacob Batalon and Shameik Moore, all bringing warmth to the chilly winter nights set against a beautiful backdrop.
