It does start in that direction and there are some mildly charming moments. About half way thru, it careens resolutely toward chick flick territory, as the focus moves from the office to the challenges of her marriage. Even with writer/director Nancy Meyer's upbeat style, the film takes a somber tone and serious pace that drags it down. De Niro has never been blander and Hathaway is OK, while the supporting characters lack any spice. Meyers' messages about women in the workplace and dull determination to focus on the marriage takes a potentially amusing movie into tedious trite territory.… Expand

CEO is needed to replace a founder if the founder is a poor leader and decision maker. Getting COO and/or setting up a network of VP is how to "share the load." Also when a cheating wife is caught, she is supposed to say "it's because you're never home to satisfy my needs," not "my 'hood is injured and confused" lmao. Like how big explosions get you high score with some people, corny bs gets you high score with some other people.… Expand

Now I'm normally pretty generous with my scoring so this is on the lower side for me. I have to tell you this movie made me really feel uncomfortable as a man, as has been noted the entire thing smacks of this retro-sexist vibe, that only seems to expand and become more visible as the movie progresses. For me by the end is was so apparent and in my face that I had a hard time focusing on the movies charming parts of which there are many.… Expand

Anne Hathaway glows in “The Intern” whether she is leading 200+ employees of a company she founded or getting drunk and throwing up into a dumpster or crying when she has been betrayed or any of the many emotions she experiences in this 2Anne Hathaway glows in “The Intern” whether she is leading 200+ employees of a company she founded or getting drunk and throwing up into a dumpster or crying when she has been betrayed or any of the many emotions she experiences in this 2 hour movie. On the other hand it is time Robert De Niro gave up broad comedies as he is only repeating every movement and mugging face he has made since “Analyze This”, “Meet The Parents” and “Meet The Frockers”. He has made many comedies throughout his career but for the past decade and a half it seems he wants to be Jerry Lewis!

For a comedy “The Intern” is only mildly amusing with the funniest scene having nothing to do with advancing the plot but a ’breaking and entering’ mission, which was written, and directed, by Nancy Meyers who has had success with previous films dealing with whether a woman can ‘have it all’. Most of the film was made in Brooklyn showing the New York borough as green and sparkling and having an empty parking spot for any in the cast of the film.

The various supporting characters from Anders Holm as Hathaway’s stay at home husband and dad to their very precocious daughter JoJo Kushner to Rene Russo as a love interest for De Niro--whew! No, not Hathaway! Among young employees in Hathaway’s company Peter Vack, Andrew Rannells, Nat Wolff along with Linda Lavin, Zack Pearlman and Christina Holtan and others do what they can with the material given them.

“The Intern” is a pleasant movie but drags in spots and touches on subjects without following through such as Hathaway’s relationship with her mother.

Oh yes I don’t ever remember seeing so many pillows on beds, decorative or utilitarian, whether in a home or a hotel!… Expand

It really plays on that Big Bang Theory stereotype that smart people have no basic social skills. The cure for that issue is super grandpa Robert De Niro who can do everything including cleaning a messy desk the office just throws their crap on.. If De Niro's character wasn't there, one character would forever look like a bum and another would always be in the friend zone. Why does his character do it? Well, as stated in the beginning he became an intern because he is bored with retirement, which means this movie has no real plot so the climax resides on the female's lead to stop being so indecisive. But if you can tolerate the old people jokes, then this movie becomes a feel good emotional drama about what it means to live and learn.… Expand

"The Intern" is surprisingly charming, but one note and sluggish. Two good performances make this pretty forgettable story into an okay watch.

Nancy Myers is generally an optimistic film maker and this movie is no different. Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro are not the most likely pairing in a film but it works, the chemistry is there. Hathaway and De Niro aren't giving the performances of their careers by any stretch but they are simply great actors who are undeniably likeable. The Intern is a film with very little conflict which is a downside. Robert De Niro's character is essentially flawless. He really can do no wrong, but on the other side that how you manage to adore him even more. I wouldn't consider the film to be clichéd but it is a little predictable and not the most original work in the world. Its too long as well but its still hard not to be in a good mood when the movie is over and that is why I can still recommend watching it.… Expand

Bob is good as usual and Anne Hathaway is annoyingly serviceable. The problem is the writer/director is self indulgently unaware of how grating her shallow, simplistic, over-sentimentality wears on an audience! She no doubt has a knack for high concepts, but we can get that from the trailer alone and spare ourselves from sitting through the whole bloated feature which has NO jokes that aren't already in the trailer and shorter and better that way!… Expand

A feel-good piece of fluff that wastes the talents of Robert De Niro. Okay for family night at the movies, but I'll bet that your 12 year old heads for bed after 60 minutes. That is, after mom and dad are snoring by 45 minutes.

It leaves you behind with much disappointment.
Must be said, that this movie is totally carried
by the big shoulders of Robert De Niro
who only performs'good', nothing more.
A better idea would have been, to take any funny actor,
and make a great comedy about this subject.
An idea for another director.
'Ben' the intern says he fills his life only with ordinary things.
He shows how 90 % of the people are led and governed by 10 % leaders/decision makers.
These people would be lost in their lives, without a leader, a person to tell them
what to do, in the first place their wives, = that is the situation of 'Ben' also.
That's the storyline, the rest is fill in, with clichés !
It is true, the film is really searching for it's end and ends in the most ordinary fashion,
in the middle of the story = 'at the end all was well and fine'. Stop,
Ridiculous.… Expand
