IT TOOK SOME TIME BEFORE I became comfortable going out to the clubs by myself. There were a couple of reasons why I would venture out alone; one, I do not drink alcohol and two, I did not like staying so late when many patrons were feeling the effects from their drinks. There was nothing worse than being stuck next to someone who could barely form words into a sentence, let alone stand on their own two feet. If I did go out with a group of friends, everyone knew I was the designated driver and I was okay with that as long as they knew they could not make a mess inside the car. Since I loved listening to music, I found myself enjoying sitting by the bar or standing off to the sidelines listening and watching people dance to the music. It felt like I was an audience member at a variety show. There was so much to watch, from the different fashion choices to the dancing skills to the foolishness of some individuals. Because I was somewhat shy, I tended to find an ideal spot for my people watching and would stay there for most of the night. It would not be unusual for me to tap my foot or move my hips to a song; I think subconsciously I was letting everyone know I like to dance.      THE TIMES I WOULD GO WITH a couple of friends, we had a plan in place to avoid any conflict. It turned out we were all attracted to the same type of individual. We came up with a plan where we took turns on who would get the first opportunity to engage with that person. If things went well and they hit it off, so be it. If not, then the next one of us in line could try our hand at starting up a conversation. This all came about when two of my friends got into a fight over someone, they both had an interest in. I stayed on the sidelines as an impartial observer; there was no way I was going to pick sides. After that disagreement, we came up with the idea of taking turns if we discovered more than one of us was interested in someone. Now, you might laugh at this, but I must tell you we never had a disagreement ever again. Personally, I could never imagine having a fight with a good friend over someone we both liked, but that is me. However, if you want to see what could happen without a plan, then you might be interested in watching what takes place with best friends in this comedy.      TWO BEST FRIENDS FOR YEARS HAVE been looking forward to their Bat Mitzvahs. With every detail planned out for every minute, there was nothing left to chance; except, the discovery that both girls had the same love interest. With Idina Menzel (Uncut Gems, Enchanted franchise) as Bree Friedman, Jackie Sandler (The Wrong Missy, Daddy Daughter Trip) as Gabi Rodriguez Katz, Adam Sandler (The Wedding Singer, Hustle) as Danny Friedman, Sunny Sandler (Grown Ups franchise, The Out-Laws) as Stacy Friedman and Samantha Lorraine (Kid Stew-TV, The Kid Who Only Hit Homers) as Lydia Rodriguez Katz; this film was filled with Adam’s family members. With that being said, I did think Sunny had a good sense of comedic timing and came across convincingly. The story had a typical coming of age theme; however, the script had a bit more punch to it, infused with Adam’s brand of humor. Overall, there was nothing great or terrible about this picture; it was simply okay. In my opinion, I would not go out of my way to see this movie, but if you have nothing else to do and want to fill the time, then this film might fit the bill.
