The Internship Reviews
You don't need a heart to like this movie. You need an MBA.
| Jan 6, 2014
Similar to Eddie Murphy's hard right turn from daring and profane comedy to family-friendly romps, Vaughn and Wilson have gone all soft and gooey here.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 8, 2013
A laboured, mawkish plug for Google.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 5, 2013
Error Code 404: Laughs Not Found.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 5, 2013
The comedy of scam and flim-flam is very funny for 20 minutes. After that the script is bent like chair bamboo towards the kind of furniture film-goers are presumed to want for their moral and emotional comfort.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 4, 2013
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 4, 2013
Almost nothing in the second half of the film is exactly funny, but consistent geniality counts for a fair bit.

This will date rather badly, and possibly very quickly.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 3, 2013
It's a testament to the duo's jazzy comic chemistry that they wring some laughs from this dated, frankly sinister premise.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 2, 2013
A gratuitous spruik for the money-churning web giants but not without moments of wit. The duo rediscover a little of their old magic.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 1, 2013
One of those movies that milks its stars' inherent charisma for as long as it can, but it does so mainly because it has little else.

A pleasant collection of mild laughs.
| Original Score: B | Jun 7, 2013
The Internship doesn't break any new comedic ground...But it's an amiable, occasionally laugh-out-loud fish-out-of-water tale that gently mocks our modern technological age while simultaneously embracing it.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2013
Today's weather forecast in Mountain View? Giddy with a chance of delirious.

The Internship just might be the saddest movie of 2013. That few will realize this makes it even sadder.
| Jun 7, 2013
Google, the corporate entity, is so lovingly portrayed that the film itself resembles nothing so much as a massive product tie-in.
| Original Score: C- | Jun 7, 2013
Shawn Levy's occasionally uproarious, warm-hearted comedy is about different generations educating each other, but it never seems rote.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 7, 2013
There's no creative spark to The Internship, just the depressing employment of a stale narrative structure and gags to promote an online behemoth whose name is either plastered on or uttered during nearly every frame of this dismal dud.
| Jun 7, 2013
The Internship is a big wet kiss to Google wrapped in a buddy comedy that asks us to believe that nobody over 40 knows anything about computers or the online universe.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 7, 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.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 7, 2013
