The Intern

An emotionally human movie that doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not and it tells a story of every one of us. Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro were absolutely priceless and even thought the movie is basically normal and ordinary, the honesty of the characters of these two actors brings it to new heights. The only moment that’s really worth it all is a scene when they break into a house just to delete a single email on a notebook. That was an absolute blast and it’s outright made my heart beat twice as fast. (25/01/2016)

A nice easy watch, but that’s about it. I like Hathaway in pretty much anything, De Niro obviously couldn’t care less about this movie, and the rest of the actors are just there. Rather than a full-fledged movie, it seems to be more of a two-hour promotion video for a non-existent company plus some relationship storylines that are neither here or there. Simply a nice film which I will (probably) forget in a month. (06/01/2016)

The Intern is an incredibly cute, almost naive film, undermined by its exorbitant running time and its distortion of reality. There are never enough feel-good films, but in this case the naivety was too glaring at times. Story-wise, it is a predictable but nicely acted film that doesn't surprise, impress or offend. Except for an adventurous "mission" with deleting emails, the film doesn't offer many humorous scenes, which was a pity. Nancy Meyers definitely has more entertaining pieces to her credit.

An unrealistic movie about people, intended as a feel-good picture. But thanks to De Niro and Hathaway, it is well-acted and works great. The old man is like an uncle to the youngsters in the office, he becomes more intimate with the boss and puts everything into the right perspective. A really nice fairytale. (23/01/2021)

Robert De Niro is such a great actor that you believe him in every role, even if it's not necessarily well-written. This is not the case, however. His intern isn't as flat a character as it might seem at first glance, and Robert allows him to shine while remaining in the background. While Anne Hathaway should be the main character, and she's great, the legendary De Niro simply shines. Moreover, it's pleasantly entertaining, just touching enough, and overall nice. (12/01/2016)
