This has always
been my feel-good movie, that I see when I need to lift my mood, it is a good film.
The film is about
an old guy applying for and getting a job as an intern at a company years ahead
of his time reminded me a lot of The Internship (2013), which
initially discouraged me from giving this movie a try. But after watching it, I
can say the movie is awesome.
The Intern is
a fun movie to watch and easy to get sucked into. It sets a steady pace,
keeping you guessing about how it will end, the possible repercussions, or the
conclusions it might reach—only to surprise you with something unexpected.
Every minute is
worth it. Anne Hathaway is a wonderful actress, and pairing her with Robert De
Niro was a brilliant move. Every moment they share on screen is captivating,
leaving you mesmerized by the seamless transition of events as their
relationship unfolds.
Written,
directed, and produced by the talented Nancy Meyers (Something’s Gotta Give (2003)
and It’s Complicated (2009)), this movie follows her trend of pairing
two people who fit into each other’s lives to fix what’s wrong. Unlike the two
movies mentioned above, this film doesn’t focus on a romantic connection
between the leads. Instead, it’s more of a father-daughter or mentor-mentee
relationship, formed between two unlikely people.
The Intern is
about an e-commerce fashion site, About the Fit, which is growing rapidly and
decides to open its doors to senior citizens as part of a community outreach
program for interns.
Ben (Robert De
Niro) applies and is hired to serve as an intern, placed under the founder and
CEO, Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway). At first, they seem like a mismatched pair,
but Ben’s persistence and strong work ethic soon catch Jules’ attention.
Initially, Jules rejects Ben’s attempts to be useful, but she’s forced to
accept him as her chauffeur when hers falls sick, and Ben is the only one
available.
First, it’s car
rides, then coffee runs, and soon Ben becomes her friend and a part of her
life—a life she feels is slipping out of her control.
Jules learns a
lot from Ben, and with his help, she’s able to regain control of her life,
balancing her work and home front more effectively.
Also in the cast
is Rene Russo, who plays Fiona, Ben’s love interest.
Take the time to
see this movie—you’ll be glad you did.
