The Intern Reviews
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.

There's something powerful in that, in the simple fact that The Intern is so sympathetic to its older character-so resolutely on the side of a person who might, in other contexts, be dismissed or ignored or, as is so often the case, invisible.

It's the kind of compulsively watchable film you'll be helpless to resist when it shows up on cable 온라인카지노추천.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 12, 2016
It's sad, too, because De Niro brings an amiable twinkling charm to the role... Instead we're stuck with misogyny, dramedy and snivelling.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 25, 2016
Thanks largely to performances by De Niro and Hathaway, The Intern is a gentle, enjoyable fantasy-and certainly Meyers's best film in more than a decade.

This earnest, effusive haut-bourgeois fantasy, by the writer and director Nancy Meyers, runs roughshod over rational skepticism with the force of her life experience.

Nothing to get upset about.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2015
Starring in Nancy Meyers' comedy The Intern, is Robert De Niro, improbably cast as an avuncular retiree with a twinkling gaze, an affable -- if slightly twisted -- smile and an abundance of tact.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 2, 2015
The Intern is a lavish workplace comedy that asks the question: What would it be like if we caught up with Andy from The Devil Wears Prada a decade later? ... The answer is, to be frank, agony.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 1, 2015
I sometimes have a bit of a sweet tooth for Nancy Meyers's Ephron-lite diversions, but this, frankly ... eww.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 1, 2015
Sharply misjudging how much hand-on-shoulder dad advice is too much, the whole film's so genial it could smile, and smile, and smother you while it smiles.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 1, 2015
The Intern degenerates into a series of monologues about ambition and relationships and having it all. As the speeches pile up, our goodwill dissipates, and so does the film's magic.

In keeping everything so polite, The Intern, while being a pleasant and watchable movie, is also entirely ephemeral. Maybe that's why, like Meyers' other films, The Intern will likely be so re-watchable, too.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 27, 2015
The movie wants to believe that you can manage the perfect career and family life - that humanity doesn't need to be sacrificed for capitalism - and because we like these characters so much, we do, too.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 25, 2015
There's not much here story-wise. But when Meyers wants to write an involving scene with characters thinking and feeling the way humans think and feel, you want to applaud.

Hathaway and De Niro share a serviceable dad-daughter chemistry that makes much of "The Intern" passable.
| Original Score: C+ | Sep 25, 2015
Nobody does visually pleasing, occasionally funny escapist entertainment about goodhearted rich people trying their best to do the right thing better than Nancy Meyers.
| Sep 25, 2015
It's not much of a movie. But raging bull Robert De Niro, suited up to play for humor and heart, proves he can be a world-class charmer.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 25, 2015
A movie that doesn't do justice to an invigorating premise.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 25, 2015
"The Intern" may be predictable, but it's far from empty.
| Original Score: B | Sep 25, 2015
