Sixty Six Movie Review by star757

This was an enjoyable movie about a boy trying to plan his Bar mitzvah. Bernie, played by Gregg Sulkin, wants nothing more than a spectacular party for the most important day of his life, but will it live up to his dreams?

The movie takes place in England, 1966, and follows Bernie as he plans his big day. He has a father who doesn't live up to his expectations and an older brother who seems to have it all. Bernie is never noticed, but plans on coming into his own at his Bar mitzvah. There is an interesting cast of characters: a doctor who treats his asthma, his uncle who overshadows his dad, an annoying older brother, a wise rabbi, and his mother played by Helena Bonham Carter.

Bernie encounters many obstacles to his big party plans. Will he be able to invite 200? Will it be at the large ballroom where his brother had his Bar mitzvah? And most importantly, will anyone show up once they realize it's the same day as the 1966 World Cup Final.

I enjoyed this movie and think it's something the whole family can watch together. Bernie learns what it really means to become a man and how to deal with the unexpected problems. He also learns a lot about himself and his father. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good family/drama/comedy.
