	Media	Author	Review
		Pete Hammond Deadline	"This film works as well it does because it is so grounded in the realities of this particular teen world and the TikTok generation"
		Courtney Howard Variety	"Its characters, conflicts and conundrums are filled with potent, earned emotions"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"A fun family affair"
		Matthew Jackson AV Club	"It might not be destined to join the ranks of teen comedy masterpieces, but (...) its ability to nail the right balance of emotional and comedic unpredictability makes it a very pleasant journey, and a must-see for teen movie aficionados."
		Adrian Horton The Guardian	"The Sandlers’ affectionate rapport and palpable family chemistry lends the film, based on the book by Fiona Rosenbloom, a rare, sweet charm. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Charming and big-hearted and culturally significant (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"A sweet take on rites, fights and tween drama"
		Romey Norton Ready Steady Cut	"[It] is the coolest teen rom-com of the year. A must-watch (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Chris Vognar Rolling Stone	"A coming-of-age tale that will bring a smile to your face"
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"Adam Sandler makes the ultimate Netflix nepo baby movie (...) This sweetly silly coming-of-age comedy is far from a killer party.
		John Nugent Empire	"Surprisingly delightful teen comedy (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Nell Minow rogerebert.com	"The film is pleasantly entertaining, but it expects us to appreciate Stacy’s and Lydia’s growing understanding of Andy’s superficiality when it does not pass that test itself (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Patrice Witherspoon Screen Rant	"A fun and engaging family affair (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		John Serba Decider	"It’s hard not to like 'You Are So Not Invited To My Bar Mitzvah'"
		Jesse Hassenger Paste Magazine	"'If You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah' does have the feel of an expensive, well-appointed, but not exactly lushly-made family project at least it mounts a charm offensive"
		Samantha Bergeson IndieWire	"The film serves as a cute throwback to a simpler time, one in which your life would simply end if your crush didn’t text you back"
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"Adam Sandler’s daughters headline this feel good coming-of-age story that blends Judy Blume and John Hughes into a solid comedy."
