Adam Sandler’s back! After having filmed in Toronto over the years, including projects like Pixels and visits to TIFF for acclaimed Uncut Gems and Hotel Transylvania, Sandler is here in the City again but this time as a Producer. The Netflix Feature is an Adaptation of Fiona Rosenbloom’s Novel “You Are SO Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah!“.
Synopsis:
Stacy Friedman is getting ready for one of the most important events of her young life––her bat mitzvah! All she wants is the perfect BCBG dress to wear, her friends by her side, and her biggest crush ever, Andy Goldfarb, to dance with her (and maybe even make out with her on the dance floor). But Stacy’s well-laid plans soon start to fall apart….Her stressed-out mother forces her to buy a hideous sequined dress that makes her look like the bride of Frankenstein. Her mitzvahs are not going well at all. And then the worst thing in the entire world happens––causing Stacy to utter the words that will wreak complete havoc on her social life…You are SO not invited to my bat mitzvah!
While most of the production thus far has ranged from spots outside the downtown core in Port Credit and Oakville, Sandler has been spotted in his time off plenty around Yorkville – just this past weekend he was at ONE at Hazelton Hotel – and he loves to play Basketball, so you might very well see him on a court around town playing with the locals!
Filming made its way up to my neck of the woods last week and there was no way we weren’t going to check it out! We love Sandler and have met him a few times over the years and he’s always been amazingly-nice. And he still hasn’t changed, stopping quickly on his way home for the day for a Selfie with beanie and I! We spotted him wrapping for the day on-set, where we heard he took Selfies with the kids on-set!
Sandler typically is dressed for comfort, t-shirt, sneakers and basketball shorts and we love that he just keeps it real. Love the rainbow theme going on here with his top and sneakers!
“You Are SO Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah!” is expected to wrap mid-August 2022.
