You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is a heartwarming and hilarious coming-of-age comedy that delves into the complexities of female friendships and the challenges of growing up. Stacy and Lydia, played by Scheffler and Sadowski respectively, are two inseparable best friends who share a dream of throwing the most unforgettable bat mitzvahs in their small town. As their 13th birthdays approach, the two friends are consumed by the excitement and anticipation of their upcoming celebrations. They spend countless hours planning, scheming, and envisioning the perfect party, complete with elaborate decorations, music, and guest lists. But their friendship begins to crack under the pressure of middle school drama, as the arrival of a charismatic and popular boy, Gabe, shakes things up. Gabe, played by Noah Galvin, is the quintessential popular kid, and his presence sends shockwaves through the social hierarchy of their school. He sets his sights on Lydia, who is initially hesitant but eventually swept up in his charm. As Lydia finds herself drawn to Gabe, Stacy becomes increasingly insecure and feels left out of the equation. The once-unshakeable bond between the two friends begins to fray, as they start to prioritize their individual goals and aspirations over their friendship.

They are too caught up in their own expectations and anxieties surrounding the bat mitzvah celebrations.

As the bat mitzvah preparations reach a fever pitch, the girls' friendship is put to the test. In a series of comedic misadventures, Stacy and Lydia find themselves at odds with each other, arguing over everything from party planning to Gabe's affections. Amidst the chaos, they begin to realize that their friendship is far more valuable than any boy or material possession. The film takes a heartwarming and introspective turn as Stacy and Lydia come to terms with the complexities of growing up and the impermanence of friendships. They learn that it's okay to grow apart and that their bond will remain unbreakable despite the inevitable changes that come with adolescence. The climax of the film features an epic bat mitzvah showdown, where both Stacy and Lydia take the stage to deliver poignant and hilarious speeches about their friendships, growth, and self-discovery.
