There’s something really soothing about a Nancy Meyers movie. Everything looks so good ; both polished and cozy. It’s not just the real estate porn, which had its most blatant manifestation in the Hamptons beach house featured in Meyers’ ageism-juggling 2003 rom-com “Something’s Gotta Give.” It’s also the furnishings, like the rotating tie rack in the bedroom of the brownstone owned by Robert De Niro ’s retired businessman in her latest, "The Intern." It’s how all the surfaces gleam: “The Intern” was shot at locations mostly within walking distance of where I actually live, and while it is a very blessed part of Brooklyn, its windows are not normally quite as uniformly shiny as those of the buildings seen here.

And often this soothing quality serves as a distraction from how inane and uncomfortable a movie such as “Something’s Gotta Give” can be. But here’s the thing: “The Intern,” while having its share of silly moments, is the most genuinely enjoyable and likable movie that Meyers—a longtime writer and producer before taking up directing—has put her name to since, oh, I don’t know, 1984’s “ Irreconcilable Differences .”

De Niro has the title role here, as he did in “ Taxi Driver ” and “ Raging Bull ” and even “ The King of Comedy .” His character’s name is Ben Whittaker, and he’s a retired, well-off widower in Brooklyn who’s bored with the relative inactivity of his current, pleasant mode of living. So he applies for a position in a “Senior Intern Program” at an e-commerce concern called “About The Fit,” and winds up reporting to its founder, Jules, an exemplary, for Meyers, 21 st Century entrepreneur type; not too far beneath her sunny exterior—she IS played by Anne Hathaway , after all—is a highly driven and possibly blinkered go-getter.

De Niro’s character here is one that he pretty much never played during what many consider his acting heyday: a decent, straightforward, non-neurotic regular guy who’s gotten somewhere good in life. And in this movie, he plays it rather well. There’s something slightly Woody Allenesque about his opening scene, in which he constructs a job-application video. His role calls for him to do a certain amount of mugging as he interacts with younger colleagues and learns about the Weird Things These Kids Today Do With Their Relationships And The Internet and such. Thankfully, the movie doesn’t dwell on senior-citizen bemusement with the Digital Age all too much; one of the points of De Niro’s character is that he’s alert and competent and wants to be of service. He has a hard time being of service to Jules, whose relentless focus makes her immediately distrustful of anyone who has an insight as to how she conceives and runs her business. And the movie is rather good at the details of that business, and the way that Jules’ vision for it defines its practical particulars.

But Ben manages to get into Jules’ good graces partly via patriarchal stealth, as when he confronts Jules’ driver after seeing him take a few nips out of a paper bag right before the soon-to-be-ex-employee is supposed to take her to a meeting in Manhattan. Ben’s internship happens to coincide with a challenging period in the growth of Jules’ company; Jules’ aide-de-camp Cameron (a very understated Andrew Rannells ) brings her the unusual news that the company’s investors, while delighted with its success, would like to bring an outside CEO to the company. Jules dutifully interviews prospects even as she’s dizzied by the idea that she could be effectively ousted from her own creation. In the meantime, her home life—she has a too-milquetoasty-to-be-a-bro-dad husband ( Anders Holm ) and a predictably delightful and adorable young daughter (JoJo Kushner)—is taking the standard can-a-career-woman-have-it-all hits. And at least one hit that’s not so standard, or maybe I should say, not so easy to stand.

Through all of this Ben maintains a careful, empathetic watch—early in their relationship, Jules pinpoints her discomfort with him as arising because he’s too “observant”—and when he steps in to offer help, he does so in a discreetly chivalrous way that actually runs counter to any “here comes daddy to save the day” expectations. Ben, as it happens, genuinely admires Jules—looks up to her, you might say—and when he does bring his experience as a businessman to bear on Jules’ own enterprise, it’s in the spirit of sharing knowledge rather than that of correction. When push comes to shove, Ben offers Jules the assurance that the thing to do is be tough and go after what you want.

The adages of “The Intern” are delivered in a comedy package that, for the most part, is sane, sweet, and smart, and a lot of the time, actually funny. A budding romance between Ben and the company’s in-house masseuse ( Rene Russo ) is fodder for two groan-inducing visual gags. But a silly set piece in which Ben enlists some of the younger goofballs of About The Fit on a housebreaking mission, replete with latter-day “Ocean’s Eleven” references, is actually a tolerable bit of rompage. And everyone in the cast, including Hathaway, who, for the record, I have never not liked, is extremely appealing. “What have you done with my husband?” my wife asked me the other night when I came home and told her I’d had a genuinely good time watching a Nancy Meyers movie. What could I say? You’re never too old to keep an open mind.

Film Review: ‘The Intern’

Nancy Meyers' smug workplace fable needs every ounce of Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro's combined star quality.

'The Intern' Review: Hathaway and De Niro Sell a Smarmy Office Fable

Behind at least one successful woman stands an older, wiser man. That, at least, is the chief takeaway from “ The Intern ,” a perky generation-gap fable that sneaks some surprisingly conservative gender politics into its stainless new world of online startups and amply product-placed Macbooks. Starring Robert De Niro as the tirelessly benevolent retiree who becomes fashion entrepreneur Anne Hathaway ‘s unlikely guide to work-life equilibrium, this is smooth white-linen entertainment, unmistakably of a piece with the plush oeuvre of writer-director Nancy Meyers . Yet it takes all the leads’ considerable combined charm to forestall the aftertaste of the pic’s smug life lessons and near-comically blinkered worldview. Supplanting the romantic fizz of “It’s Complicated” and “Something’s Gotta Give” with scarf-deep social engagement may cost Meyers’ latest a little at the box office, but this “Intern” will still be reasonably well-paid by an under-served date-night crowd.

Popular on Variety

For Hathaway’s heavily burdened career woman Jules Ostin, on the other hand, even 10 seconds of self-description is time she can ill afford to spare. The founder and president of About the Fit, a Brooklyn-based online couture retailer in the mold of Net-a-Porter, she’s a Type A micromanager who has trouble leaving even customer service calls in the hands of her eminently capable employees. When her patient deputy (Andrew Rannells) announces that she’s to be assigned an assistant via the company’s newly-introduced senior intern program, she takes it as a personal affront.

Enter Ben, whose affability and helpfulness are as consistent as the square charcoal business suits he wears every day. After trying out a host of hobbies and adult education courses to stave off the loneliness of spouseless retirement, the former telephone-directory manufacturer (a pointedly analog career path) has come back around to the workplace: Tai chi classes are all very well, but can’t verily be classified as either work or love. Hoping for a new lease on life from the fiercely young, hip surrounds of About the Fit, he arrives with rolled-up sleeves and a can-do attitude — only to be brusquely ignored by Jules, more frazzled than ever following pressure from investors to hire a senior male CEO for the company.

By this point, it can’t have escaped viewers’ attention that Meyers has fashioned “The Intern” as something of a generational backflip on “The Devil Wears Prada,” with the cannily cast Hathaway having graduated to the role of corporate fashion dragon. (She’s even permitted, in a witty touch, to toss her jacket at Ben in the blasé manner of Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestley.) The difference, of course, is that Jules hasn’t quite Priestley’s time-hardened unflappability, while De Niro is no hapless naif a la Andie Sachs: The balance of authority between them is awkward from the get-go, as Jules complains that her well-seasoned intern is “too observant.”

The turning point, as in “Prada,” is when home-work boundaries are crossed. Ben steps in for Jules’ personal chauffeur (her on-trend preference for cycling, cited in introductory scenes, is inexplicably forgotten), getting to know her young daughter Paige (JoJo Kushner) and affable stay-at-home husband Matt (deftly played by Anders Holm) in the process. Yet as Jules’ marriage, rather than any workplace dilemmas, becomes the focus of the drama, “The Intern’s” superficially 21st-century outlook on age and gender takes on a more regressively paternalistic slant. Jules asserts that she can have it all, but she requires an awful lot of mentoring from Ben — whose professional and marital history is, at least as he tells it, wholly unblemished — to get to that point. There’s not a lot of inter-generational exchange here, as Ben arrives in the narrative with little to learn; beyond helping him set up a Facebook page, Jules doesn’t get to impart much perspective of her own.

Before long, Ben’s even monitoring her drinking with raised eyebrows: She may come to call him her “best friend” (largely because there’s scant evidence of any others), but the subtext is that it’s hard for a woman in her position to find support among her own. Certainly, the film’s other female characters do little for its feminist credentials: Jules’ fellow kindergarten moms are characterized as spiteful housewives, while her mother (heard, never seen) is a passive-aggressive needler. The great Celia Weston is egregiously wasted as a dippy elder intern, while as the frisky office masseuse — this is a Nancy Meyers film, after all — who embarks on a staid courtship with Ben, fellow “oldie-but-goodie” Rene Russo has little to do but twinkle kindly from the sidelines. (She’s over a decade younger than De Niro, but “oldie” status comes early in this world.)

If older women get short shrift, then, their male counterparts are praised to the skies. Hathaway even gets to deliver a wince-worthy sermon to Jules’ cardigan-wearing twentysomething male employees — themselves equally in thrall to Ben — bemoaning the decline of masculinity and decorum in modern men. Jack Nicholson and Harrison Ford (not to mention, by implication, De Niro himself), by contrast, are held up as superior role models of “cool.” This is pretty retrograde stuff, and hardly plausible coming from Jules given her own husband’s enlightened decision to give up his career for hers — not exactly a maneuver from the Jack Nicholson playbook.

At least there’s a genuine crackle of chemistry between Hathaway and De Niro to sell us on their characters’ mutual appreciation: Both actors can perform this kind of personality-led comedy on cue, but also tease out unscripted hints of inner conflict when so inclined. Hathaway does particularly well in a role that frequently draws direct attention to its own unlikeability: Both the steelier and more genial sides of the actress’s signature class-captain charisma play persuasively into her business persona.

Meyers’ detractors often cite her films’ narrow focus on a moneyed sliver of society, and true to form, the story world in “The Intern” could hardly be more homogeneous: For a film set predominantly in Brooklyn, the racial uniformity of the ensemble is regrettably striking. (Ben admits early on that he took Mandarin classes for a stretch; in Meyers’ vision of the Big Apple, it’s hard to imagine what use he might have for them.) Though the pic is brightly shot by Stephen Goldblatt and scored with chipper deodorant-ad zeal by Theodore Shapiro, it’s Kristi Zea’s impeccable production design that again proves the most defining technical element of Meyers’ filmmaking. From the sharp white corners of About the Fit’s warehouse-conversion offices to the ivory calico textures of Jules’ gorgeously refurbished brownstone, all “The Intern’s” interiors radiate a most exclusive kind of expense.

“The Intern” by Nancy Meyers

Introduction, main issues, depiction vs. reality, ambiguities and alternative interpretations.

The importance of employment, a desire to work, a threat of retirement, the development of professional qualities, and interpersonal relationships are the issues that bother millions of modern people. To share their opinions and visions, movie directors find it interesting and necessary to discuss these themes in their works. In 2015, Nancy Meyers introduced The Intern , a comedy, starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. The uniqueness of this film is an excellent possibility to explain the importance of work-life balance and generation differences that many people like to neglect. There are many reasons for watching and analyzing The Intern , and this paper aims at comparing the depiction and reality of employment and organizational culture in American society.

In The Intern , it is hard to choose just several issues that are properly addressed there, either directly or indirectly. On the one hand, it is clear that the director’s intention is to explain human feelings and experiences during the retirement phase. The main character is a 70-year-old widower who knows that “there is a hole in my life, and I need to fill it… soon” ( The Intern). Unintentionally, this movie shows how senseless the intentions of all those people who dream of working hard and providing themselves with successful retirement conditions could be. Among other indirect aspects like the life of seniors, loneliness, and personal growth, Meyers perfectly raises such topics as job search, leadership, and the exchange of experiences. At the same time, she also focuses on the presence of gender inequalities in business affairs. One of the most provocative goals of this film is to keep to work-life balance and never consider age as a challenge or shortage. The desire to be a part of something, keep moving, and live, no matter what direction is chosen.

Someone may think that the depiction of The Intern differs from reality. As a rule, people who have been working hard all their lives want to take some rest after their 70s. Every individual is unique, and this movie aligns with reality where older adults never want to give up, still, understanding that young people are in need of job opportunities and education. As well as another main character of the movie, Jules Ostin, many young entrepreneurs are eager to start a business and develop success. However, the reality is harsh to all people, and women’s challenges are not an exception. Therefore, the movie teaches to “feel nothing but great about what you’ve done, and I’d hate to see you let anyone take that away from you” ( The Intern ). Although it seems that the director wants to criticize reality, where a woman has to choose between her job and family or leadership and delegation, this film supports the idea of work-life balance that usually depends on people around.

One of the most favorable features of this movie is the lack of evident ambiguities. Although some young spectators could say that their interests are usually more diversified compared to those young men who could easily register on Facebook, but know nothing about the importance of an extra handkerchief in their pocket. After watching the movie, no other alternative interpretations could be offered because Meyers did the best in her attempt to disclose employer-employee relationships, family issues, and business picks. Ostin realizes that regarding her past achievements, she could do more either in her family or in her company. All she needs at the moment is peace, which makes her join Ben and relax.

In general, it is possible to talk about a variety of topics that are properly mentioned in The Intern , either intentionally or incidentally. Meyers did a great work that could motivate a young entrepreneur, a non-confident admirer, or an older adult who has just lost a beloved person. This movie is a story about generations and how people should change not to become successful or rich but happy and fulfilled in life.

Writer-director Nancy Meyers has scored a number of commercial successes (including It’s Complicated and Something’s Gotta Give ) by going against the grain and making movies centered on women and aimed at older audiences. These films have not always fared as well with critics as they have with audiences, and you can expect the same divided response to her latest feel-good comedy, The Intern . Box office should be healthy, even though the movie offers more frustrations than rewards to discerning viewers of any age or gender.

On the plus side, the movie benefits from the casting of Robert De Niro and especially Anne Hathaway . And the premise has possibilities. Hathaway plays Jules Ostin , a high-powered executive at a new fashion website, and De Niro is Ben, a senior intern hired to work for her after he rejects the idea of retirement. Fortunately, there is no hint of romance between the two characters; it’s more of a friendship and professional relationship, which turns out to benefit both of them.

Review: In ‘The Intern,’ She’s the Boss, but He’s the Star

Share full article

By Manohla Dargis

Sept. 24, 2015

The director Nancy Meyers doesn’t just make movies, she makes the kind of lifestyle fantasies you sink into like eiderdown. Her movies are frothy, playful, homogeneous, routinely maddening and generally pretty irresistible even when they’re not all that good. Her most notable visual signature is the immaculate, luxuriously appointed interiors she’s known to fuss over personally — they inevitably feature throw pillows that look as if they’ve been arranged with a measuring tape. These interiors are fetishized by moviegoers and Architectural Digest alike, ready-made for Pinterest and comment threads peppered with questions like, “Where do I get that hat?”

In her latest, Robert De Niro plays Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old widower who shakes up his life when he becomes an intern at a web start-up where he soon becomes an office mascot and geezer Tinker Bell. Mostly, though, Ben is the benign face of patriarchy, a gentler, kinder father figure who comes equipped with a laundered handkerchief and the wisdom of the elders. He shares both with his new boss, Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway), the founder of an online clothing site that has rocketed from zero to zillions in record time. She runs her company with a steely grip and a forced smile in a refurbished Brooklyn warehouse the size of Grand Central Terminal. She’s a success and possibly an obsessive-compulsive (she all but showers in hand sanitizer), but she’s also floundering, one crisis at a time.

Movie Review: ‘The Intern’

The times critic manohla dargis reviews “the intern.”.

Jules’s problem is as familiar as the last headline that recycled the plagues of career women who want it all, apparently can’t have it all and are unsure if they want any of it in the first place. “What do women want,” Forbes asked a few years ago, echoing (still!) Dr. Freud. Among the suggestions: a little sadomasochistic me time à la “Fifty Shades of Grey.” For her part, Jules mostly wants someone to tidy up a cluttered table that sits like a reproach in the middle of the immaculate office and that for some reason she won’t or can’t tell someone to clean. Structurally, the messy table is a means for Ben, the ultimate can-do type whom Jules doesn’t want to engage, to at last catch her attention. And he does just that when he clears it, inaugurating a work relationship that soon turns into a friendship.

The table is a silly, lazy screenwriting contrivance, and it says more about Ms. Meyers’s conflicted ideas about powerful women than it conveys anything interesting about Jules. A successful Hollywood director like Ms. Meyers, for starters, would never have gotten this far and with a number of hits to her name if she had been afraid of telling other people what to do. But Ms. Meyers has some distinct ideas about women, work and power, and so she piles on the issues: Jules is chronically late to meetings, among other sins, although that seems to be because she likes riding slowly through the office on her bicycle. The bike suggests that she’s a nonconformist, although the neat rows of her pretty, young, overwhelmingly white employees doing something in front of their computers suggest otherwise.

Ben serves as a kind of Mr. Fix-It, who, with quiet confidence, paternal competence and a driver’s license, helps Jules get on track at work and home in the way that none of the man-children in her life can. Ms. Meyers has clearly been binging on Judd Apatow comedies, and she stacks her movie with assorted bromantic schlumps (including a troika that functions like a farm team version of Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Michael Cera), whose sloppy clothes and facial hair emblematize not only their arrested development but also a crisis in masculinity. That guys like these help run the world (and the entertainment business) without hauling around a leather briefcase is immaterial to Ms. Meyers, presumably because it would get in the way of her new take on the rescue narrative.

Ben doesn’t sweep up the damsel like Daniel Day-Lewis in “The Last of the Mohicans,” but he proves more than up to the task. Ms. Meyers’s script makes sure that’s the case, as does the smartest choice she makes in “The Intern”: Mr. De Niro, her loosest, most valuable player. Long celebrated for his vein-popping intensity, Mr. De Niro has been yukking it up in comedy since the 1960s. Part of what distinguishes his later laugh-ins is that they’re inextricably haunted by the ghost of Travis Bickle and sometimes — as when Mr. De Niro breaks out his terrifying ear-to-ear Soupy Sales grin — Rupert Pupkin, his nut job from “The King of Comedy.” However straight his character, he can’t help but be a destabilizing force, which is crucial when a movie is as hermetically sealed as “The Intern.”

Ms. Hathaway, who’s regularly forced to take Jules’s inner girl out for a sniffle and a sob, does her best, but it’s hopeless. Jules is less of a character and more of a fast-walking, speed-talking collection of gender grievances, some of which originate with a squirmy house husband Matt (Anders Holm). One look at that guy’s smile and you want Mr. De Niro to wipe it off. He doesn’t, but there’s no need to because Mr. De Niro owns the movie from the moment he opens his mouth, and is staring into the camera and right at you. ( Oh, yes, he’s lookin’ at you. ) You can’t look away, and soon you don’t want to. Certainly Ms. Meyers doesn’t want anyone to because, though she loves the idea of the successful, independent woman, she also ardently wants to make room for daddy.

“The Intern” is rated PG-13. (Parents strongly cautioned.) Tumescence and the usual tee-hee-hee gaggery.

Movie Review: “The Intern” Teaches Workplace Communication The Old-Fashioned Way

It used to be that men carried a clean handkerchief with them for those rare occasions when they needed to blow their nose, or as Robert DeNiro’s character Ben Whitaker suggests in “The Intern,” hand it to a woman in distress. “Women cry,” he explains to a young male co-worker at About The Fit, a clothing e-commerce business where they work. “You need to be ready to give them your handkerchief. That’s the only reason we carry it.”

In a later scene, when the object of the young co-worker’s affection cries, fretting about her future with the company, he rushes to her side and hands her a handkerchief (conveniently provided by Whitaker who happens to be standing by).

In today’s fast-paced business environment where Twitter and texting are today’s communications tools of choice, sharing a handkerchief seems quaint. But perhaps DeNiro’s character knows something many of his younger co-workers haven’t learned. You can communicate a lot more with a simple gesture – a hug, a smile, a hand on a shoulder or passing along a clean handkerchief – than you can with any mobile device or social media message. The fact is, exchanging words in an email or text message might be the standard of the day, but they are only tools of the trade. What do they really communicate? What we might have gained in efficiency in our communications via our mobile devices, in the process, have we lost the personal connection and compassion that our relationships need to thrive?

Whitaker was a master at observance. He learned more about his workmates just by watching their behavior and listening to their conversations. Whitaker’s calm and cheerful outlook did not go unnoticed by his boss, Jules Ostin (played by Anne Hathaway), who wanted to transfer him to another department because she was uncomfortable with him around and didn’t believe she needed his services. He was, in Jules words, “too observant.”

How much more can we learn from our colleagues and clients if, like Ben Whitaker, we simply kept our mouths shut and observed what is happening around us. Whitaker may not have been Facebook-savvy, but he understood more about how to communicate with compassion and maturity. He noticed when Jules was struggling in her marriage without interfering, though he might have been tempted. And he refused to judge others for their behavioral indiscretions and refrained from expressing his opinion, allowing others to learn from their own mistakes. He was adept at reading people’s emotions, and that’s a lost art.

What I appreciated most about this film, though not a movie classic by any means, was that the younger co-workers eventually accepted Whitaker and all his apparent eccentricities. They learned more from him than they were willing to admit, including the co-worker who was so intrigued by Whitaker’s old battered briefcase that he bought one for himself on Ebay.

These are communications lessons we all can learn, no matter how old or young we are.

After failing to fill the growing emptiness in his life following retirement, 70-year-old, widowed Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) is hired as a personal intern to Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway), the CEO of her self-created online fashion start-up, in director and screenwriter Nancy Meyer’s latest movie, “The Intern.”

At the start of the film, Ben quickly grows in popularity with his younger coworkers due to his affable personality and hard-work ethic. The only person who is not immediately in favor of him working at the company is Jules. Nonetheless, she is soon won over by Ben’s charm and helpfulness and a budding friendship begins in which Ben helps her solve problems at work and in her personal life.

“The Intern” is a reliable, feel-good movie that captures the viewer’s interest and De Niro and Hathaway do an excellent job of building emotional connections between the audience and the characters throughout the 121 minutes. The film, however, is moderately comedic and leaves the viewer with mixed messages. On the surface, the plot is well-constructed, but lacks depth, and many loose ends remain untied as Meyers glosses over the struggle of balancing a career and family.

Furthermore, Ben’s chivalry extends far beyond the realm of possibility. He never misses a beat, never makes a mistake, and he even helps instruct the younger men at the office in the art of being a gentleman. Even when he and two other coworkers break into the house of Jules’ mother to delete an accidentally sent email, he remains portrayed as morally unblemished.

Jules seems to have it all, managing both her family and her career, but behind her near-perfect image, she struggles with keeping her home life together. Ultimately the film resolves her marital problems far too quickly and simply to be realistic and the difficulty in maintaining a strong mother-daughter relationship while having a full-time career is practically ignored.

In addition, the movie allocates almost all the comedy to three characters: Ben, and two coworkers Jason (Adam Devine), and Davis (Zack Pearlman), and contains quite a few cliches, such as Jules’ cold, unaffectionate mother and the patronizing stay-at-home moms at her daughter’s school who make condescending comments about Jules’ parenting. And, of course, an obvious stereotype is that because Jules is a successful business women, she must work in the fashion industry.

This intergenerational film is predominantly about friendship, a refreshing alternative to rom-coms, but does not withstand scrutiny and is quickly reduced to superficiality when one delves a little further into the messages of the film. Additionally, “The Intern” does not garner enough laughter to be considered a full-fledged comedy, but instead straddles flighty drama and sparse humor.

The film does bring up important questions about how society can combine traditional values with modern life. Meyers, however, explores this in such a superficial manner that it becomes ridiculous when Jules, inebriated, laments about what has happened to the male species, as if the fact that millennial men do not wear handkerchiefs is a tragic loss.

Despite the movie containing some feminist aspects, the contradiction that the self-sufficient career woman ends up relying on a man (even only as a friend) undoes the notion that Hathaway, a smart and savvy woman, can succeed independently.

Although the movie was quite enjoyable to watch and is overall well-done, Meyers seems to use the film as a platform to voice her opinions on the dying breed of gentlemen by making Jules her mouthpiece and using Ben as an unrealistic model of such a gentleman, leaving the charisma of the two main actors as one of the few factors holding up the film’s flimsy foundation.

Similar to the life of its female protagonist, the movie has a flawless facade, but behind it lie issues with the focus of the plot and the message the film conveys, but unlike Jules it does not have a guardian angel to rescue it.

Movie Review: The Intern

The movie, The Intern was produced and directed by Nancy Meyers in 2015.It revolves around two main characters, i.e., Ben Whittaker (Robert DeNiro), a 70 years old retired widower and Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway), founder of an online clothes retailing company called ‘About the fit’. Being bored of the comfortable living, Ben applies for the role of senior intern in Jules’ company via video resume which he never did before and showed spontaneity of his character and gets selected as 1of 4 interns that are hired.

Ben is a professional, straightforward, decent, alert and competitive person who wants to feel needed or of use in his new role at the office. Despite knowing nothing about the internet or new technology Ben with the help of his other colleagues gets a hold of necessary skills needed for his job to be done. On the other hand, Jules is a smart, workaholic, responsible and busy business woman who doesn’t even have the time to have her lunch. Jules has a habit of being in control as she is the founder and owner of the company and so feels uncomfortable when Ben is assigned as Jules’ intern who has a lot of experience as compared to herself.

Jules faces the pressure of the investors to find someone else to be CEO of the company as they think she can’t handle the workload on her own. But according to Jules no one else can look after her company as she does. She does everything with passion and a vision which is almost impossible to find in a person who is hired. But considering the collapsing relationship with her husband she starts meeting potential employees that can be a good fit as a CEO. Ben notices her situation closely but being a professional person, he doesn’t say anything unless he is asked or is needed to speak. He works as a support system for Jules during her hardships and makes her realize what she really needs and what she should do through his experienced words and wisdom.

Ben developed a warm friendship with Jules over the period of time and Jules understands that she has been wrong about Ben for a long time and she has a lot to learn from Ben and his experiences. Though they become friends Ben never forgets his limits as an employee of Jules, he never lets their friendship affect their professional life. He balances them quite well from driving her from home to taking care of her when she is drunk. He knows perfectly when he needs to be her friend and when to be her intern.

Jules had been struggling with the priority decision that is whether she should prioritize her marriage or her career. She decides to compromise with her role at office to save her marriage but Ben disagrees and helps her see how strong she is as an individual and where she brought the company in just a matter of months on her own. She realizes she can’t give up on her company for the sake of her husband who is already been involved in infidelity.

Almost every working woman faces this dilemma once in her life where she has to make a choice between her family and her own career. The reasons can be different but the choices are mostly the same. In 2013, a survey conducted in US revealed that 42% of women reduced their work time, while 33% are not working at all, in order to care for a child or other family member at some point in their career. Same dilemma was faced by Jules when she gave more time to her career as compared to her family. A lot of times society calls women selfish for pursuing their own career. While if a man does the same, he is said to be earning for the family or ambitious. The 2015 survey revealed that only 16% adults prefer a full-time working woman at their home.

Ben presenting a male point of view to Jules, made her understand the importance of her career, so she won’t take wrong decision in haste by hiring the CEO she met on the trip to San Francisco. Ben admires Jules and looks up to her for how marvelously she had done her job of building her company this fast. The whole movie was presented in a comedy- drama package to motivate the audience with various sessions of laughter. And to tell that experience is never outdated and one is never too old to learn new things. and even when you think you know everything you actually don’t. there is always room for improvement.

Recommending this movie to everyone. You can learn a lot from it. It was recommended to me by my professor for a submission and ended up becoming one of the favourite movies for me. Maybe it would become yours too.

the movie speaks louder in terms of its hidden messages. definitely my all-time favourite.

really great review. will surely check this movie out.

fantastic movie. so many aspects, like about having a sense of purpose at old age or balancing work and life for a business woman has been brilliantly...

Review: 'The Intern' has great start and finish, forgettable middle

September 25, 2015
Wyatt Crosher

“The Intern” is written and directed by Nancy Meyers and stars Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. The movie is about a 70-year-old man named Ben Whittaker (De Niro) who finds an opportunity to be an intern at an online fashion site that is run by the incredibly busy Jules Ostin (Hathaway).

This movie had me intrigued, mainly due to the star power. De Niro and Hathaway have shown their incredible acting abilities time and time again, so I figured this was a guaranteed hit. Sometimes I like to be wrong, but this was not one of those times.

The majority of the performances work, specifically De Niro’s. He has taken some poor jobs as of late which have tarnished his astonishing career, but this is not one of those roles. His performance is touching and sweet, as his character gives us a solid backbone to start off with. Rene Russo is also very good in her supporting role, and Hathaway’s performance began to grow on me as the movie progressed. At first I was completely annoyed, but as the layers began to unravel, I liked her character more and more.

The movie’s opening scene, as well as the last thirty minutes of the film, are truly great. The opening is very touching and gives a wonderful introduction to the main character. The final act is also very heartfelt. It has the best storytelling and the best performances of the entire movie, so I don’t know what the hell happened in this middle portion.

From five minutes to about 90 minutes into the movie, the director decided to make this film an extended TV sitcom, with jokes that wouldn’t even make a 6 p.m. CBS special. The jokes are hokey and the script is down right embarrassing, with blatantly obvious conveniences to show how De Niro’s character is such a nice guy. For example, a random desk just happens to be the company junkyard that is overflowing with stuff, so the next morning De Niro does what any good person would do and clean the desk without being asked. It may not sound like a big deal but things like that happened so often that I found myself rolling my eyes constantly. Also, the three stooges that De Niro works with are just not funny. They could be taken completely out and the viewer wouldn’t bat an eye.

I’m not saying this movie needed to be wry of humor. But the dramatic heft and interesting characters made for a much better storyline than the majority of the time when the movie acts like the worst possible episode of “Two and a Half Men” that you can think of (including the Ashton Kutcher era).

This movie also pushes a runtime of over two hours, which is ridiculous knowing some of the dumb jokes and plot points they decided to keep in.

Overall, “The Intern” has solid performances, an interesting premise and a fantastic opening scene as well as a great, somewhat moving conclusion. The problem lies with the entire middle, which feels poorly written, badly unfunny and completely out of place. This movie should not have been a comedy. It should have been a drama with comedy sprinkled in.

It is rare that about 30 percent of a film is great and 70 percent of it is absolutely awful, but that is how I feel about “The Intern.” I suggest watching the opening, going to do something better with your life for about an hour and then coming back for the conclusion.

“The Intern” is a sad disappointment.

Movie Review – The Intern – Writing in English

Movie Review

No Comments

Hey guys, how are you doing?

Another movie review post for you guys! But before I tell you about the movie, how about learning some important vocabulary you must use on movie reviews?

There are many different kinds of words, verbs, adverbs, expressions, idioms, phrasal verbs, you can use on your essay. For this post, I picked a specific one. Let’s talk about adverbs .

Adverbs will basically modify “verbs”. They emphasize the action. For example:

The movie was good. (no adverb)

The movie was REALLY good! (here I am emphasizing with the adverb “ really” )

He broke the window (no adverb, I am just describing what happened).

He intentionally broke the window (the adverb intentionally emphasizes the action by showing that the person who broke the window, had intentions to do so.

You might already know how adverbs work. The catch is to use collocations correctly. Depending on the verb we may or not use certain adverbs. That’s what I want to share with you before showing you the movie review. I will show 7 good adverbs and their verbs that you can in movie reviews and that will definitely make your movie review nicer! So here we go

1. Rely heavily on somebody or something = to depend greatly on someone.

NGOS rely heavily on donations in order to finance their projects.

2. To be hysterically funny = to describe something that is very funny.

Her acting was hysterically funny in the new Broadway show called Shear Madness.

3. Apologize profusely = to apologize a lot (to say sorry “a lot”)

The CEO apologized profusely to all families who lost their loved ones in the accident.

4. Bitterly disappointed = to be very disappointed.

I was bitterly disappointed after watching this movie.

5. Highly recommend = greatly recommend, recommend something very much.

I highly recommend this movie. It is exciting, fun and the plot is very interesting

6. Connect deeply = to have a strong connection

They connected deeply since day one

7. Listen patiently = to listen in a patient way.

Parents need to listen to their kids more patiently.

Now let’s take a look at the movie review. This movie review is simpler, intermediate speakers will have no problem to understand it! But if you are an intermediate speaker, let me know what you thought about it, ok?

The older, the wiser? Senior Internship Program Turning Into A Beautiful Friendship!

“The Intern” was produced and directed by Nancy Meyers in 2015. It tells the encouraging story of a 70-year-old widower called Ben (played by Robert Niro) who is looking for a new challenge in his life, since his retirement has brought nothing but boredom to his life.

Ben is a cheerful retired widower who is looking for a job. Even though he is retired, he feels like he is lacking purpose in life. By deciding to get back in the game, he applies for a senior internship program at “About the Fit” , a fast-growing e-commerce startup, founded and managed by Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway) who even though had previously approved the senior program, had a difficult time remembering it when she heard the news about the new interns. Ben’s communicative skills and friendliness wins the human resource team over and he is one of the four senior employees to participate in this program. He is assigned to work with no less a person than Jules herself. Jules is no easy task and will need some time adjusting to Ben, who despite listening patiently to her every demand and promptly doing what she requests, will face Jules’ resistance to him and will have to find a way to win her trust.   As the plot develops, Ben and Jules connect deeply and we are able to fully grasp Jules’s character and strong personality. You will embark on a different kind of friendship. One that was not meant to exist, but due to Ben’s patience and charisma, a memorable and refreshing affection will flourish.

Robert de Niro’s outstanding performance along with Anna Hathaway will keep you asking for more! They instantly click and you can see a meaningful change not only in Ben’s boring routine but also In Jule’s approach to life and the way she runs things around her startup.

I would highly recommend this movie. It is a heartwarming story that turns out to be an insightful message of how there is a lot to be learned with our elder citizens. It also means retirement is not the end and we should never take the old for granted. There is still a lot they can do and contribute to our society. All they need is a chance.

Which movie would like me to review? Leave a comment and I will definitely write about it!
