The scenes in the diner are gently funny, and Levinson's evident affection for his characters makes you want to like them, too, but in the end "Sixty-six" resembles its callow narrator, coming up short on energy, depth, and purpose.

Barry Levinson comes off as a genuinely modest and amiable subject in this edition of The Directors series, simultaneously confessing an inability to define his working methods while conveying the certainty that he knows what he's doing.
Film directing is an often mysterious and intangible process, as Levinson observes, but he clearly possesses a gift for creating indelible moments on film, particularly with well-chosen ensemble casts.
Interestingly, Levinson notes that his overlooked 1999 drama Liberty Heights (that deals with themes of discrimination and racial identity) was inspired by a review of his sci-fi thriller Sphere, which made pointless reference to Dustin Hoffman's Jewishness.
