"It's kind of this magic. I don't think I'll ever experience something quite like this [again]," Cohen said. "It's almost surreal because, first off, the Sandlers just made me a part of the family. I never felt like the outsider, I never felt like a guest. And what's incredible to watch is they do that with community. I think community and family are such pillars of being a Jewish person, and the Sandlers have this way of really making everyone feel like family and feel at home. And there's this sense of ease and show up as you are. When you feel like you're around family, you can just be more yourself. And that, I think, elicits just funnier jokes and there's less of a filter on everything. You can kind of just drop your shoulders and relax and have fun."

You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is based on the novel of the same name by Fiona Rosenbloom, with a script from Alison Peck. The film is now available to stream on Netflix.
