It's labeled a 'true-ish story', and the results are cheeky fun.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

Sixty Six is also about accepting parents with all their frailties, coming to terms with the unfairness of life, and finding a way to switch the focus to the wonders we do have to celebrate.
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News

[Director] Weiland pours so much heart into his autobiographically 'true-ish' story that accessibility is a nonissue.
Tom Russo, Boston Globe
