Sixty Six (1:34) 2006

Sixty Six refers to the year 1966. Bernie is a 12 year old Jewish boy preparing for his Bar Mitzvah. Bernie is looking forward to the party and the gifts and is spending endless hours planning the party. Besides being the center of attention on the big day, he wants to have a party as nice or nicer than his older brother's. His parents can afford the party of his dreams, his father and uncle own a grocery store in London and are doing well. As the day draws nearer, plans start falling apart. A chain grocery store moves two doors down from the family business and draws away the customers. Bernie realizes that England's soccer team will be in the World Cup with the finals on the day of his party. English soccer fans are having World Cup fever and the guests start canceling with various odd reasons. Bernie's father is depressed and Bernie is having difficulty seeing his dreams set asunder. This is a sweet movie, although it is a comedy, viewers feel for Bernie as he struggles with disappointment after disappointment.  A coming-of-age movie that families will enjoy.
