You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023) User Reviews

I lost interest

[danielmanson · 5/10 · 2 September 2023]

I'll start by saying I didn't feel like I was the demographic this movie was going for, felt a lot like a young teen movie than anything else. So bare in mind before chucking it on.

Like most, I clicked because it's an Adam Sandler film. He doesn't appear in it often, he's more of a side character so again if you're expecting a classic Sandler comedy with him as the main aspect then think again. The humour just wasn't the same as they went for a more teen humour and not Sandler humour, so it's really not what I imagine most will expect when clicking on this.

So the film. Is it any good? It's very average and bland to put it bluntly. Humour didn't stick with me, forgettable plot and characters weren't particularly likeable either. I got a bit bored midway as you know how this film will end and the journey to get there isn't thrilling either.

For me, the characters were the most frustrating part of this watch. They definitely had elements nailed on in terms of how 13 year old girls act and behave at school etc but the personalities sucked. Stacy, the main character here, kept making awful decisions and just had a poor character arc that really made me not like her by the end.

It's honestly just an average watch that you will likely forget by tomorrow morning.

Not sure how I felt about this movie

[rebeccalerma-86764 · 5/10 · 26 August 2023]

As a teen this movie was an uncomfortable watch. Although i definitely agree that kids are becoming way too invested in topics they shouldnt such are trying too hard to be attractive (which was shown throughout the movie) it was not discouraged or even criticized, which should have been a point the movie addresses if its gonna be included. Adam Sandler movie humor when the movie features adults feels different to when the movie features kids. Some of the scenes were over the top or not really age appropriate. The message was great however there were some scenes that conflicted with the message or really were unnecessary and provided no entertainment value. Otherwise, Sunny Sandler did great with her lead role and would definitely give other movies a try.

Meh

[hala-zabaneh1981 · 5/10 · 30 August 2023]

Good for kids I think. Although...I will still give it a 5 because the adults were quite funny. Also the older sister haha. But the rest was just annoying. Then again it was not meant for my group age.

It is a family business movie. Obviously it was made so they can bank from it and also so they can work together. The latter is kinda cute because why not! Must have been fun for the girls to work with mom and Dad on set haha. I know I would! Lucky ladies.

Otherwise its just a silly movie. Although not sure we should encourage girls to believe that they become adults at the age of 13 especially at this day and age. But hey who am I to judge a whole culture. All I say is be careful and being a kid is a precious time! Enjoy it while you can.

It's hokey but really OK!

[Fanjina342434 · 31 August 2023]

Very familiar story but cute film! Think diary of a wimpy kid but female. I liked the Sandler girls in this movie! I thought Sunny was great in her role as Stacy. I thought the role of Andy G ("factssss") was perfect for what this role was going for. I know this is an Adam Sandler movie but it's also feeling like a hand off of comedic career to his daughters. His eldest was very funny in it even though i felt more of her was needed. It is touching to see him older as dad and the focus on his daughter. It's a young teen vibe and movie. The actress playing Lydia was very good too as was the friend Kyle. He was ADORABLE! But we didn't see enough of him unfortunately. The Mateo kid I didn't really get , he is awkwardly younger and the flirting between him and the lead felt just as awkward as the accent they have him trying to use. But if they were going for awkward i guess they hit it? I also loved the character of the rabbi- the actress is from SNL and she was really fun to watch. The story has been done in different ways and I found it interesting they did the "dear god..." thing like in the Margaret film/books but overall it's a film where the chemistry between the two leading actresses as well as the sisters felt very authentic. I thought Adam as dad was sweet and honestly it was also sweet that he took a backseat to his daughter. She really did a great job!

I dont know how people are rating this badly

[michaelvanviersen · 6/10 · 26 August 2023]

Somehow this movie is getting rated badly, it isnt that bad. Hopefully people give it some decent numbers to try and change the star rating to what it should be.

Its a classic Sandler movie, but you can tell theres been some real thought put into this one.

Theres some good laughs and tear jerkers and it has a good story. Its a decent comedy and worth the watch.

It will be interesting to see where the sandler girls go from here you can tell this is the start of something big for them as there is some true talent there.

A well done flick with laughs about the highs and lows of becoming a adult, watch it and dont be the jerk giving it 2 stars.

Light, Bittersweet Teen Turmoil

[pawanpunjabithewriter · 6/10 · 31 August 2023]

The movie steps into the realm of teenage comedy, attempting to blend heartwarming moments with the chaos of preparing for a significant event. While the film brings a certain charm to the screen, it struggles to break free from the confines of its predictable storyline.

The protagonist's journey is meant to be a comedic rollercoaster, but it sometimes feels more like a leisurely stroll. The film toys with the concept of a teenage coming-of-age story, yet the execution often falls into familiar territory, failing to fully explore the potential of its premise.

Adam Sandler's presence lends the film a sense of familiarity and saves the movie big time. His natural comedic prowess shines through even in a supporting role. The young cast, including Sandler's daughters, adds a touch of authenticity to the teenage interactions, occasionally delivering moments of genuine humor and relatability. The chemistry among the younger actors, Idina, Jackie, Samantha is evident and carries the movie through its lighter moments.

Although the film falls short in truly engaging the audience, the background score kept entertaining. The attempts at humor sometimes land flat, and the character development often remains surface-level. What it majorly lacks is stronger character arcs. Even though the writing is quite so-so, the execution looks weaker.

On the brighter side it manages to present relatable teenage dynamics and familial interactions with a certain warmth. The themes of growing up, friendship, and family love are visible threads woven into the narrative adding to it a humorous chick-flick. Yet, the film occasionally stumbles in balancing these elements, resulting in a movie that can't quite decide whether it wants to be a heartfelt family story or a zany teen comedy.

With its mix of endearing moments and missed opportunities, it manages to evoke a few smiles but leaves room for improvement. For those seeking a lighthearted diversion, the film may have its moments, but it won't be taking center stage among the classics of the teen comedy genre.

Delightful coming of age film

[ellic1 · 7/10 · 27 August 2023]

I can't say that I'm an Adam Sandler fan but i have liked some of his work. This film is one of them.

I was exhausted and decided to crash in front of the TV. I started Netflix and the movie started before I could see what else was on. I was too lazy to change it.

Sandler did a put together a very enjoyable and poignant film. The writing is good as are the directing and editing. His daughters have talent and felt at home in their parts. And I just loved Luis Guzman as a Jewish father.

The movie is obviously a coming of age film and it depicted the trauma and joy that can engulf a family, in this case Jewish, at a critical developmental point in life.

Actually a good flick

[lisafordeay · 6/10 · 25 August 2023]

You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah is a 2023 teen comedy starring Adam Sandler,Idina Menzel and Adam's real life daughters Sunny and Sadie Sandler alongside their mom Jackie Sandler.

The story follows a Jewish teen named Stacey Friedman( Sunny Sandler) who lives with her Jewish parents (Adam Sandler and Idina Menzel). She is also best friends with Lydia since they were kids. Things take a turn when her best friend starts dating Stacey's crush leaving her crushed and she stops being friends with her. Will they reunite in the end before her Bar Mitzvah?.

Overall I enjoyed this film. It was nice to see Adam Sandler step away as the main charchter and have his youngest Sunny as the main star(since you could say this is her full feature debut as she was a side voice charcther in Hotel Transylvania)and I gotta say she looks and acts like her dad,she's a decent actress.

If your a fan of Adam Sandler then you'll be either disappointed or loving it as like I said the film focuses more on Sunny instead.

Cute little movie

[fgmdpwwp · 6/10 · 26 August 2023]

It's a cute little movie that i sbviously made for the younger crowd.

I love the fact this is truly a family film, Adam Sandler, his beautiful wife, and two daughters.

The clothing is modest. I don't recall hearing any foul langauge. Yeah, there is some crude Sandler style humor but not outragous.

Sandler's daughters are cute as can be and actually have some talent. Granted it will grow with time and training. It will be fun to watch them grow.

I can't pretend to understand the concept of such a great expense of a party at that age, but then again I don't understand the concept of expensive weddings. So what do I know?

Sit back. Enjoy the show. Learn a bit about the Jewish religion and watch the struggles of a young teenage girl navigating hte world and a father's equally painful struggle with watching his little girls grow up.

Big on Feelings but Short on Emotion

[LeBallz · 3/10 · 3 September 2023]

I can say definitively, this is one of the best Adam Sandler produced movies on Netflix, which is indicative how low a bar he's set.

The entire Sandler family makes an appearance in this one with the story centering around the coming of age Jewish ritual of Bat Mitzvah and his 12 year old daughter navigating 7th grade.

The story is as cliche as you'd expect, girls fighting over boys, parents struggling with the vapid narcissism of their teenage children but through a distinctly Jewish lense. Everything resolves itself exactly how you think it will. I mean it, if you sit down right now and think about how you believe this movie will go, you will be 95% right. There were 4 times I laughed out loud, spread over a nearly two hour movie. The actors are fine but left with one gaping hole.

The direction of this movie is godawful. Even basic concepts like cinematic framing and lighting are subpar to the point that it's distracting. It's funny watching Sandler and Menzel reunite in this film after being masterfully directed in Uncut Gems and be handed such an untalented production team in this one. Perhaps the biggest sin is the forced diversity of the cast, perhaps attempting to distract from the fact that Jewish Americans are one of the least ethnically diverse communities in the country. Revisionism may make the director feel better but it is entirely false.

Don't expect much if you aren't a teenage girl.

Very entertaining

[vida-29081 · 9/10 · 26 August 2023]

I was surprised how entertained I was with this teen movie. What makes it work is all the kids are great in their roles & had such great chemistry. Adam Sandler wife & daughters are in the movie & his daughters are surprisingly excellent actresses. This is a cute light hearted film with a great diverse cast. I did appreciate the diversity in this film too which made it representative of Gen Z. This movie isn't going to win an Oscar but if you want to be entertained & see great young actors, this movie will pleasantly surprise you. Adam Sandler is in the movie but it's the kids that are all the stars.

Enjoyable teen comedy...

[paul_haakonsen · 6/10 · 27 August 2023]

While I am not particularly a fan of Adam Sandler, then I still sat down to watch the 2023 comedy "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah", as I was asked if I wanted to watch it. And I believed I was in for a traditional Adam Sandler comedy here, as I had heard nothing about the movie.

Turns out that this was not your archetypical Adam Sandler comedy, for better or worse. Nay, this was a coming-of-age story of a girl having her Bat Mitzvah, but things don't go as planned. I will say that writers Alison Peck and Fiona Rosenbloom actually put together a good and enjoyable script for the movie. And while the movie might be aimed at a younger audience than what I fall into, then the movie actually was entertaining nonetheless.

The acting performances in "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" were good, and it wasn't an Adam Sandler lead movie, for better or worse. I found it nice to see him in a support role here, and the leading young actresses Sunny Sandler (playing Stacy) and Samantha Lorraine (playing Lydia) carried the movie quite well. The movie had good acting performances and there were some good talents on the cast list.

If you enjoy teen comedies, then "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" is a movie well-worth checking out and spending 103 minutes on watching. I was genuinely entertained by it.

My rating of director Sammi Cohen's 2023 movie lands on a six out of ten stars.

Hard to watch

[balcanbbq · 1/10 · 3 September 2023]

Cringy, over the top in a bad way, horrible acting. Plot was shallow, predictible and poorly executed. I dont know how can anyone like this. Sorry mr Sandler but no, this is not the way. The only good thing was the older sister. My girfriend enjoyed the agony i was feeling while watching this, it was like punishment, she is cruel to me as this move was cruel to my common sense and anyones sense of humor. Its missing everything a good movie should have, i really felt like im in a trap, stuck watching this garbage. I know netflix has a big plans with mr. Sandler but this just made me feel so horrible and sad.

It's an Adam Sandler movie...

[dreamtripp · 7/10 · 26 August 2023]

Adam Sandler found his niche a long time ago with the majority of his movie roles being in light-hearted, and for the most part, inoffensive comedies. He developed his own production company and kept his friends employed by prolifically putting out these standard comedy vehicles. While he has occasionally put in Oscar worthy dramatic performances, he has mostly chosen to stay within his goofy comedy lane. So having said that, this is your typical Adam Sandler family comedy movie. I think most people understand what that means.

The plot is a simple coming of age story with a Jewish twist. It has your typical teenager movie tropes such as mean girls, social awkwardness, having a spat with your bestie, suffering an unrequited crush and dealing with peer pressures. It's not deep and doesn't make any profound statement on the genre. It's just a cute film and a pleasant way to pass an hour plus.

As mentioned already, Sandler likes to employ his close friends but this is the first movie where he has employed his actual family with both his real-life daughters (one in the lead role, and the other supporting) and his wife (also supporting.) The lead Sunny, in my opinion, did a good job for a first time lead role and had chemistry with the actress who played her bff which was central to the story. Of course there was also a natural chemistry with her dad, which gave an authentic, sweet quality to this movie overall. I'm curious to see her in other roles and to see how she matures as an actress.

The other daughter Sadie, played the sardonic older sister. Her role was relatively small so it's hard to gauge her acting skills, but again the real life father-daughter relationship gave this movie a little more authenticity than it would have had otherwise.

I will say his wife's role as the BFF's mother felt less authentic. Maybe she's not a great actress and couldn't (or didn't want to) carry the larger role of the lead's mother. Instead that role was adequately filled by Idina Menzel. However, Sunny bares a strong, noticeable resemblance to her real life mother and it was hard to ignore this when they shared scenes. I mean if you're going to use your daughters as your daughters, you might as well use your wife as your wife, especially as Idina's role didn't require any outstanding acting. This was somewhat distracting but didn't really ruin the movie.

In the end, you either like Adam Sandler comedy movies or you don't. I gave this move a 7 because I generally do. It's a likeable movie if you come into it with low expectations and just want to be entertained. I mean this is an Adam Sandler movie so why are people even trying to compare this to Judy Blume or Ladybird? That's just ridiculous.

Cute Teen Comedy

[destiny_west · 7/10 · 25 August 2023]

After seeing the trailer to You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah I thought it might be a good way to kill some time and check out Adam Sandler working with his family.

It is a fun, quirky teen comedy. Nothing original, but nevertheless has a message to say about what is important and friendships in general.

The acting was good, though it is mostly the girls with Adam Sandler seemingly more like a cameo role in parts.

I enjoyed going along for the ride. I can't say that there was any laugh out loud moments for me though. I would say definitely check it out though. Again, not Sandler's best film, but its not about him.

A little too kosher for this pickle.

[Top_Dawg_Critic · 6/10 · 7 September 2023]

All the best parts and any attempts at humor are in the trailer, so don't expect to see anything more that may make you laugh throughout the bloated and predictable 103 min runtime. The story was targeted to a younger teen audience and will mostly be relatable to those that understand the culture and religion of this film's theme. As a whole, the story is rather cliched and bland, and something that's been done many times before, and much better, with the only difference being the cultural theme. There are many better coming of age stories and funnier ones too. Adam Sandler's daughters gave a better performance than he did, as it felt Adam had better places to be at instead of this film. It's probably one of his most bland, underwhelming and amateurish performances I've seen him in. I'm baffled by the high Tomatometer rating, as this film at best is a generous 6/10 from me.

Heartwarming coming of age movie

[xghppjrqt · 7/10 · 26 August 2023]

It's a lazy Saturday for me today and I turned on this movie on a whim without really knowing what to expect. Adam Sandler movies are hit of miss for me. I certainly would not have put my money on him making such an authentic coming of age movie.

The story of two young girls figuring out friendships, first crushes, and priorities brought me back to my own life at that age. This movie doesn't hold back on the raunchiness of 7th graders. Its the time kids first start figuring 'adult' stuff out, often getting it wrong and out of sight of áctual adults. Meanwhile, there's also still a lot of 'kid' at that age - playing with dolls, making friendship bracelets, going to the movies with a parent. The story toed that line beautifully in my opinion. Its not a wildly original storyline, but the execution is great. Halfway through the film, after noting how warm the family dynamic was on screen, a quick google made me realize that the whole Sandler family got involved with this one. The script was well done and made me wonder if certain scenes or clips were pulled straight out of the Sandler Family lives. Knowing a family got to spend serious quality time doing this project together definitely gave watching this an extra dimension for me.

The acting was very well done, especially considering the female lead and her sister are clearly 'only' there because of their dad. They each have a lot of talent, and the lead role especially had a lot of fantastic scenes to showcase it. The chemistry between het and her best friend was very convincing, too. Nonverbal looks and small gestures made the yearning to make up feel believable.

The peripheral characters rounded the movie off nicely. Sarah Sherman's rabbi almost makes me want to convert. She's the resident fairy-godmother-guide and does this effectively, connecting with teens amid the outrageousness of her singular character. Little quips like the kid who keeps getting called out for no reason, or the friend who's learning to shave, brought consistent comedy and sillyness.

Is it a perfect and original coming of age movie with gravitas, like Booksmart or Lady Bird? Nope. Is it authentic, heartwarming, and relatable? Did it make me both nostalgic for my own childhood and excited for my future adventures as a parent of teens (hopefully)? Absolutely. Worth a watch if you're into that sort of thing!

Another no laugh comedy

[Truedutch · 3/10 · 4 September 2023]

This movie head to toe is plain not funny. Sandler has completely lost his way with comedy and every movie he produces has the exact same formula and style of jokes...someone needs to tell him it doesn't work and isn't funny. All the jokes are so cringe I was getting second hand embarrassment. It's the same style of something happening and camera cuts to a character for a one liner that isn't funny at all. Comedies especially suffer the most from out of date references 5 years past their prime and this had a couple.

When the main character of Stacey is the most annoying unlikeable person the whole time then it's hard to enjoy a second of this movie. I don't understand where the good reviews are coming from.

It was a different sort of angle from a Sandler joint without having his regular crew (apart from his immediate family) which was refreshing. I believe the movie is aimed at a more younger crowd but I still should get a laugh or two which I did not get any.

Watching these 13 year old girls also have some sexualised scenes was a bit much for me too.

Adults I'd skip this one and just hope Sandler makes another movie away from comedy again.

An unforgettable Bat Mitzvah

[exceladeogun · 7/10 · 27 August 2023]

You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah

This teen comedy coming-of-age flick follows the friendship of two teenage girls. A rift is created between them when they both pursue the same boy.

You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah doesn't hold back with its teen portrayal. The angst and awkwardness that comes with teenage years are evident, whilst also showcasing the complexity of friendships. Although not boasting of new or fresh ideas, this movie still manages to navigate its familiar storyline with decent jokes and a warm tone.

The entire Adam Sandler family makes up the cast, and this is a good launchpad for the Sandler children. The other Jewish actors (including Idina Menzel) also help complete this very Jewish movie.

It won't be a bad idea if You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah gets a sequel.

6-7/10.

It's kind of click baity

[catalinroshu · 4/10 · 31 August 2023]

It's not an Adam Sandler movie. It's a teen movie that happens to have Adam Sandler for about 5 minutes. Netflix sold it differently. I'm an adult ...male..so this movie was definitely not something I would have watched...but I kept waiting for Adam to bring something to the table ...and kept holding on because of the misses...never happened. Not a bad movie per se..but has a different demographic. Not my cup of tea. Netflix definitely needs to stop selling names and get back to creating quality content like in the old days. It's becoming increasingly difficult to justify paying the monthly subscription.

Not as expected

[magnoliacream · 6/10 · 4 September 2023]

I usually watch teen movies and dramas when I'm in the mood for something light to while away the time. And most of them do entertain. But this story about two best friends, Stacey Friedman (Sunny Sandler) and Lydia Rodriguez Katz (Samantha Lorraine), who are preparing for their bat mitzvahs, left me wondering what I just watched.

The humor is too cringey for me. The period pad scene actually made me gag. The pad was exposed much longer than needed making you want to scream "why didn't Stacey hide it right away?" That scene felt contrived to elicit as much reaction from the audience as possible.

Another embarrassing scene that felt contrived involved the video Stacey was supposed to make for Lydia. Who would show a video in a formal party without checking it out first?

Among the things I look forward to in teen movies is the sweet and cute romantic angle. No luck in that department either.

Finally, what's with Stacey's lips? It felt like the actress did not know what to do with them. She is actually pretty when she behaves normally but her facial mannerisms were simply unnatural and distracting.

But this is not all bad. Stacey's family life with dad (Adam Sandler), mom (Idina Menzel) and older sister (Sadie Sandler) is quirky but charming. I also found the lives of Jewish young people preparing for their bat/bar mitzvas interesting.

A miss

[sfriedenthal-75655 · 2/10 · 11 September 2023]

I think if there was more Adam Sandler this movie might have been a success. I'm not even bothered by some of the bad acting. The movie just fails on the premise and goes downhill from there. Simply stated, this is a story of a US Reform Jewish family with the younger daughter preparing for her Bat Mitzvah.

That part of the premise is fine. It just goes off the rails. No one. And I really do mean NO ONE, actually thinks of their Bar/Bat Mitzvah as "entering adulthood", and yet his is repeated throughout the film as if it's some kind of Jewish truth.

I might accept an Orthodox, or perhaps even a practicing Conservative Jewish family having a semblance of this belief, BUT... it does not coincide with over-the-top theatrics, DJs, Intro videos, twizzler stations, etc. In other words: If this is a serious event of 'adulthood', then the families take it seriously.

There is the female Rabbi (again, Reformed Jewish) who is just this walking caricature of a "hip" Rabbi. Again. Nope. Are there hip Rabbis? Of course. But, they also don't look at their upcoming Bat Mitzvah a week before the ceremony asking, "Where's your Mitzvah project, or it won't happen"

There is a beyond cringey scene where Adam Sandler calls his daughter and over speaker phone starts rattling questions on what size maxi pad she needs. Every single child in the universe would immediately either take the phone of speaker. But, here? No. Because we need to hear this awkward conversation to try and make a funny scene. This is followed shortly where she cliff jumps and her maxi pad floats up. In the movie she is both (A) Mortified, and (B) uninterested in grabbing it and hiding it from plain view. It's either A or B. Can't be both.

I had some hope that this movie might represent modern Jewish life, but it's just one cringe after another of unrealistic scenarios.

A unique take on the coming-of-age genre that is well worth your time

[kevin_robbins · 6/10 · 8 October 2023]

My wife and I recently enjoyed You Are Not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah (2023) on Netflix. The story revolves around a teenager as she navigates the complexities of popularity, friendships, love interests, and her upcoming Bat Mitzvah.

Directed by Sammi Cohen (Crush) and featuring a cast including Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore), Luis Guzmán (Traffic), Jackie Sandler (Pixels), Sadie Sandler (Jack and Jill), and Samantha Lorraine (The Walking Dead: World Beyond).

This coming-of-age film is a unique and somewhat uneven experience. The storyline incorporates a multitude of distinctive elements and perspectives, making for both entertaining and occasionally frustrating circumstances. Every situation depicted feels grounded, realistic, and authentic. The bond between the Sandler sisters and Adam Sandler adds a heartwarming touch, although the main character can be rather annoying at times. The resolution at the end is both worthwhile and rewarding. This has a sitcom caliber comedic content that's entertaining and fun.

In conclusion, You Are Not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah offers a unique take on the coming-of-age genre that is well worth your time. I would give this a rating of 6/10 and strongly recommend checking it out.

This is what Adam Sandler should be making

[masonsaul · 7/10 · 1 September 2023]

By prioritising friendship over romance You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is a really good coming of age comedy with a mostly fresh perspective. The broader humour doesn't always work but it's constantly endearing and has more than enough memorable jokes.

Sunny Sandler is great, leading the film with ease and having a friendship with Samantha Lorraine that's not only the heart of the film but really genuine. Adam Sandler is used just the right amount without ever overshadowing his daughter and their screaming match results in the funniest moment.

Sammi Cohen's direction actually manages to match the energy of its characters throughout and is incredibly vibrant at points. The needle drops are all good choices but excessive in their frequency initially before thankfully getting a bit of breathing space as it goes along.

Another good Sandler film

[LetsReviewThat26 · 6/10 · 1 September 2023]

It has been a while since Netflix brought a Sandler comedy out, I think the hustle or hubbie Halloween were. Anyway this is a coming of age comedy about best friends Stacey and lydia. They dream of throwing a great bat mitzvah and their plans seem pretty solid, I mean who wouldn't want Olivia Rodrigo there. But after Stacey falls for the idiotic popular boy at school things go off the rails and puts both the batmisvah and friendship at risk. Sadie and sunny Sandler play sisters in this and it's good seeing the whole family here. It was also nice seeing idena menzel in a staring role. It's a shame some of Sandler's friends were not in this but overall this movie was good. It was funny and had a pretty strong cast.
