Idina Menzel’s newest movie, You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah, is streaming now on Netflix! If you missed it a few weeks ago, you can watch a clip and the official trailer here.
BFFs Stacy and Lydia are both planning epic bat mitzvahs. But it all unravels when a popular boy — and middle school drama — threaten to ruin everything.
Unfortunately, due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Idina and the other actors can’t promote the movie. However, the director, Sammi Cohen, told A.frame:
[Adam] Sandler loved working with [Idina] on Uncut Gems. In talking about the Friedmans, she was a natural fit. Again, he feels like this sweet, goofy, Jewish dad we all want, know, and love. And she’s talented — we knew she would do great with the part — but there’s also this sense of this sweet, warm, Jewish mom. And authentic casting was important to us, and she really just fit as part of the family. It was organic, and as soon as he brought it up, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, that totally makes sense!’ So, this is the happy side to their Uncut Gems marriage.
