The movie features the whole family, and they did not do too badly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movie centers on the Jewish tradition of Bar Mitzvah; a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is a coming-of-age ceremony for Jewish boys and girls when they reach the age of 12 or 13. This ceremony marks the time when a boy or girl becomes a Jewish adult. This means that they are now responsible for their own actions and can decide for themselves how they would like to practice Judaism. However, this movie features the Americanized version of this tradition in which a large party is added at the end of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Susan and Lydia had been planning their Bat Mitzvah since they could talk, as best friends, but their mutual crush on a boy almost destroyed their friendship, and their planned parties. As it is usual in romantic comedies, their love eventually triumphs, and they treat us to a great celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah<\/strong> is completely led by the pre-teen cast, while the adults play a supporting role. Adam Sandler, usually known to take the lead in his movies, played a second fiddle to his real-life daughter and let her shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not a fantastic movie or a film that you want to watch all the time, but it is good for passing the time with and getting some laughs. Some jokes lean towards the adult end, but they are the kind of jokes that you would expect from teenagers and pre-teens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nolly-rated-score\">NollyRated Score<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Score: 3\/5<\/strong>&nbsp;(Okay Movie)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NollyRated uses a 5-level scoring system, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Poor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sub Par<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Okay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outstanding<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Join Our Tribe on Twitter:&nbsp;<\/strong>For updates on new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/category\/movie-review\/\">Nollywood<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/category\/hollywood-movie-reviews\/\">Hollywood movies<\/a>, reviews, cinema reviews, and Nigerian and American movie personalities, join our tribe on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NollyRated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NollyRated<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is not a fantastic movie, but it is good for passing the time with and getting some laughs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[400],"tags":[423,425,422],"class_list":["post-364919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hollywood-movie-reviews","tag-adam-sandler","tag-idina-menzel","tag-you-are-so-not-invited-to-my-bat-mitzvah"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364919"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364919"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364919\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":364941,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364919\/revisions\/364941"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
