While You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah has scored a record breaking Rotten Tomatoes score, there are some fans who are calling it out for nepotism.
The movie stars Sunny and Sadie Sandler, who are the real daughters of Adam Sandler, and now, director Sammi Cohen is speaking out about the backlash over that.
Here’s the summary for the flick: Owen Browning (Devine) is a straight-laced bank manager about to marry the love of his life, Parker (Dobrev).
When his bank is held up by the infamous Ghost Bandits during his wedding week, he believes his future in-laws (Brosnan, Ellen Barkin) who just arrived in town, are the infamous Out-Laws.
The 54-year-old Friends star and 56-year-old Uncut Gems actor are set to appear in Murder Mystery 2 together on Netflix. The sequel to their 2019 release marks their third collaboration following 2011′s Just Go With It.
During an interview ahead of the movie’s release, Jennifer opened up about Adam‘s filmography.

Deadline writes that the 55-year-old actor is set to star in a new young-adult comedy titled You Are SO Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah! at Netflix.
The outlet adds that Adam will be reuniting with his Uncut Gems co-star Idina Menzel for the movie, and will share the screen with some of his family members as well.
“I didn’t even know why I did this, but I said, ‘I’d love to do something special for my daughter, I love her so much and blah, blah, blah,” Sandler said. “…And I texted [Levine], ‘I’m sorry to do this to you, my kid’s getting bat mitzvahed Saturday night. Would you mind coming and singing a few tunes? It would be incredible.’ But I don’t know why I did it. Then you see the dot, dot, dot immediately. I’m like, he got it and he’s about to say something.”
He added that Levine texted back that he couldn’t refuse him, agreeing to perform a few songs with his Maroon 5 bandmate James Valentine.
“It was the coolest thing, man,” Sandler shared. “Oh, she hugged me so much, my Sadie.”
