Adam Sandler, made his film debut in Going Overboard in 1989, and created his Happy Madison production company ten years later. His 34-year-long career has culminated in his freshest score on Rotten Tomatoes to date, with his most recent Netflix venture, You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah, garnering a 96% rating.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, his 2022 sports drama Hustle assumes the second-place spot at 93%, while The Meyerowitz Stories and Uncut Gems follow at 92% and 91%, respectively.
His new film, which dropped on Netflix on Friday (Aug. 25) is an adaptation of Fiona Rosenbloom’s 2005 novel of the same name, and stars his daughter Sunny Sandler as middle schooler Stacy Friedman. The cast also includes himself, his daughter Sadie Sandler, and his wife Jackie Sandler, in addition to Idina Menzel, Samantha Lorraine, and Luis Guzmán.
While Adam seemingly took a step back to spotlight his daughter in the film, director Sammi Cohen (who uses they/them pronouns) told Decider that while Adam balanced the roles of filmmaker, producer, actor, and father on set, “no one thing suffers.”
“He’s really able to wear all these hats,” they said. “He does everything. It’s almost inhuman. I’m like, it’s unfair, he can do everything!”
Cohen also noted that “Adam is one of the hardest working people [they] have ever met in [their] life” and “it’s clear the girls take on that as well.”
The new film is part of Sandler’s $250 million deal with Netflix, which has led to films such as The Ridiculous 6 (2015) and Sandy Wexler (2017) per THR. According to IndieWire, the deal was established in 2014 and extended in 2020.
On Friday, Decider’s John Serba encouraged prospective viewers to stream the film, writing, “It’s hard not to like You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah, which underscores its sillier elements with just enough substance to make it viable viewing for tweens and their families.”
You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah is streaming on Netflix.
