You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah may be one of the most Jewish projects Netflix has released this year. Starring Jewish superstars Adam Sandler, Idina Menzel and Sarah Sherman, it tells the story of Stacvy Friedman, a young Jewish girl navigating the trials and tribulations of boys, school, and preparing for her bat mitzvah in an American suburb.

Directed by Jewish filmmaker Sammi Cohen, who said she wanted the film to feel like a celebration of Jewish children and their rites of passage, the film stars two of Hollywood's most high profile Jewish actors. But who's who in You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah?

Adam Sandler - Danny Friedman

Adam Sandler, who's spoken often about his pride in his faith, and has played several Jewish and Israeli characters including Zohan in You Don't Mess with the Zohan, Davey in Eight Crazy Nights and Danny Meyerowitz in The Meyerowitz Stories plays Danny Friedman, Stacy's father.
