Total FilmKen McIntyreJul 5, 2013
Vaughn and Wilson. eight years on from "Wedding Crashers," the pair successfully rekindle their irascible shtick. Read full review

VarietyScott FoundasJun 2, 2013
This big-hearted underdog comedy from director Shawn Levy is, much like its two leads, exceedingly affable and good-natured despite being undeniably long in the tooth. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberJun 2, 2013
The actors do what they can to supply the texture missing from the script. Vaughn and Wilson riff together with pleasing professionalism. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyJun 6, 2013
Though by no means a good movie, The Internship floats along for fairly well for about half its length, thanks to the easy interplay between the two stars and a certain melancholic topicality. Read full review

Washington PostJen ChaneyJun 6, 2013
The fact that this overlong, often preposterous comedy succeeds at all (which it does, only occasionally) proves that the Vaughn/Wilson charm can still work a measure of magic. Read full review

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson may be the worst interns since Monica Lewinsky. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter TraversJun 6, 2013
A flabby farce that might win a pass at the box office because it's just so cute and family friendly. But where's your edge, guys? Where are the laughs that walk a tightrope? Read full review

Boston GlobeTy BurrJun 6, 2013
It’s the kind of Hollywood formula product that proves why the formula’s so hard to kill: simultaneously easy to like and impossible to respect. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsJun 6, 2013
Levy surely knew that the script at hand didn't warrant a full two-hour running time; even if you enjoy The Internship, as my son did, it feels 20 minutes over-full at least. Cut out half of the "Flashdance" and "X-Men" references, and you're halfway there. Read full review

The real star of The Internship is Google itself, and what a self-aggrandizing diva she is. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesJun 5, 2013
Product placement aside, there’s an admirable, even sweet, message about fellowship and misfit pride shot through the whole script, and Vaughn is rather touching as a kind of cuddly uncle figure to his fellow interns. Read full review

The Internship might be the best worst comedy of the year thus far. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyJun 5, 2013
The movie is not exactly a laugh riot. But its comedy is amiable enough — and surprisingly clean. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleJun 5, 2013
This vaguely funny film is also the saddest and most depressing movie of 2013.

Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerJun 7, 2013
There’s a potentially good comedy to be made about old-school guys trying to make a go of it in a youth-dominated digital marketplace, but director Shawn Levy and screenwriter Jared Stern overdose on moronic excursions. Read full review

Time Out LondonGuy LodgeJul 5, 2013
It’s a testament to the duo’s jazzy comic chemistry that they wring some laughs from this dated, frankly sinister premise. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyJul 3, 2013
That the film ends up floundering is not really their fault. These two belong on screen together: when they’re not completing each other’s sentences, they’re completing them wrongly, which is even better. Read full review

SalonAndrew O'HehirJun 6, 2013
What makes The Internship especially unfortunate is that there are pieces of a better, funnier movie lying around here, pretty much unnoticed. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzJun 5, 2013
The Internship has some funny moments. The cast is too talented for it to come up completely dry. But for a movie about a place so filled with ambitious climbers, it is far too lazy. Read full review
