Idina Menzel and Sarah Sherman will star in a film adaptation of “You Are SO Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah!,” presented by Netflix, Alloy Entertainment and Adam Sandler’s production company Happy Madison.

With “Frozen” star Menzel and “Saturday Night Live” breakout Sherman, the film’s cast will also feature Sandler himself acting alongside his wife Jackie and daughters Sadie and Sunny. Also starring are Luis Guzmán (“Boogie Nights,” “Shameless”), Ido Mosseri (“Sandy Wexler,” “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan”), Samantha Lorraine (“The Walking Dead: World Beyond”), Dylan Hoffman (“Next”), Dean Scott Vazquez (“Transformers: Rise of The Beasts”), Miya Cech (“Always Be My Maybe”), Ivory Baker, Dylan Dash (“Adeline, The Great”), Millie Thorpe (“Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion”) and Zaara Kuttemperoor.

Sammi Cohen (Hulu’s “Crush”) will direct a script by Alison Peck (“Work It”) based on Fiona Rosenbloom’s 2005 young adult novel. The story will chronicle the chaotic events leading up to a girl’s bat mitzvah, threatening to completely upend her big day. Production is currently underway.
