The Intern Reviews
The Intern runs a bit longer than it should but leads Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway make it worthwhile--it's a film that gets better with age.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 16, 2024
Meyers concocts a few madcap comedy situations to break up the otherwise low-key tone.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 27, 2022
[Where] it succeeds its charm and grace, it lacks in depth. The meat of the story can be summarized in a sentence and ends up feeling somewhat superficially emotional...
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 9, 2021
Although many critics panned The Intern, I believe the film has much to say, especially in a society where the elderly are often mocked or ignored just because they seem old-fashioned or have a hard time with technology...

Feels like a checklist designed to make the audience think they got something more than they actually did.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 20, 2021
The cinematic equivalent of a comfy chair, blanket and a mug of hot chocolate (obviously with whipped cream and marshmallows)...

There seemed to be a lot of value placed on male approval, something Jules spent the entire film searching for, and ultimately finding in her intern.

Relies on charm rather than knee slappers.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 3, 2021
Though De Niro is watchable in practically anything, it's practically demeaning that such a revered actor is resorting to involvement in such generic, uninspired stuff.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 4, 2020
The Intern isn't a fantastic film nor does it break any new cinematic ground, but it's enjoyable for what it is and, most importantly, it's also entertaining.

Just go watch Baby Boom.

It seemed kind of sexist.

The Intern presents a heartfelt multi-generational story without harping too hard on its traditional, yet fun heartfelt tropes.
| Original Score: 7.7/10 | Nov 13, 2019
A well-acted and sometimes moving tale of friendship and life lessons is let down by its own burgeoning desire to appear 'with it'.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 22, 2019
Robert Deniro and Anne Hathaway are really charming in their roles.
| Original Score: C | Apr 19, 2019
The Intern is very enjoyable and is good at loosening the heartstrings a little. It's not a romance between De Niro and Hathaway (thankfully), but serves its purpose well in being a feel-good, character-driven film.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 11, 2019
Nancy Meyers' movies are nice and feel-good, and so effortless that you wonder if she strives for more.

I can't get the antiquated misogynistic, paternalistic norms out of my head.
| Feb 5, 2019
Strong work from Robert De Niro is wasted in a screenplay that is way too overstuffed with drama.

De Niro and Hathaway are on good form, though the film's attitude to working women is bizarre. You can see why companies want retired interns - with their final salary pensions they're the only people who can afford to work unpaid in New York.
