The Intern

The Intern is a generational matchup of Baby Boomer-meets-millennial mindset with the office as a backdrop. You'll watch it for De Niro and Hathaway's easy onscreen chemistry.

...a simple sweet film, with charming performances by Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, which makes for a good watch.

An easy, breezy office space confection that doesn't require much of your time or intense emotions, I exude a distinct charm, one that's rarely seen in pop-culture obsessed material today. It's as how Ben describes his handkerchief ritual, "one of the last vestiges of the chivalrous gent."

Overall, "The Intern" snugly fits into a bland film for a night-out.

If you're a big fan of feel-good movies, this is one film that promises to deliver and leave you smiling. Watch it for Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway's splendid chemistry and comic brilliance.

It's left to Hathaway to rescue what she can. Her Jules is by turns brittle, warm, self-possessed, vulnerable and impulsive, and Hathaway conveys all this without making her performance seem like an acting class. Few actors today can cry like she does on screen; even fewer can transform material like this into something halfway resonant.

The latest movie from the director of Something's Gotta Give and It's Complicated has nothing to give and is most uncomplicated. The novelty factor of the premise of Nancy Meyers's The Intern and the casting wears off within the first hour. The rest of the running time is spent on padding up the potentially interesting but severely underdeveloped encounter between generations.
