In “The Intern,” Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) is a 70-year-old widower who has discovered that retirement isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Seizing an opportunity to get back in the game, he becomes a senior intern at an online fashion site, founded and run by Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway).

評価とレビュー

The main character in this film, Jules, learns absolutely nothing by the end of the story. She will continue to wistfully yearn for the men of bygone eras (while conveniently forgetting that those same men expected their women to be subservient, homemaking, baby factories), while continuing to put her work before her family. I enjoyed the film for its cute humor and its feel-good atmosphere, but don't go into this one expecting any great enlightenment for yourself or the characters in the film.

Way to use a good score and some good actors to try and pass a quality movie but alas you failed to actually relate to anything remotely close to experience of an actually working adult, much less a owner of a company. Probably takes more than 9 months of actually working somewhere to realize it's more than lattes and cocktail parties.

From a technical perspective the movie works well. Lighting, photography, etc. The actors are obviously good. Because everything else is working well the story gets front and center for criticism. It shaves of a bit of "hollywood drama-life" and serves it. It is unrealistic but bound by reality. It leaves me feeling cynical for taking offense to it but the alternative would result in a movie that feels terrible. Rotten tomato meter is spot on. It is the perfect description of a 60% movie. You wont feel strongly one way about it and wont remember much of anything in a year. One thing I never think after movies but thought about after this film was the lack of racial diversity. It probably contributed to the "hollywood life" fell of the story and I think was intentional. To what end, I don't know or really care.
