Reviews
70
When the film gets more serious it produces some affecting moments between the two leads.
67
Hathaway’s take on the underwritten Jules is refreshingly unshowy, but De Niro seems a little lost.
67
Meyers wants this to be all sort of amiable and charming and a big warm bath of a film, and it is.
60
The Internship delivers what it promises, no more and no less, and faulting it for not being a rougher, tougher, smarter film about how much we all seem to live our lives through our work today would be like yelling at a spoon for not being a knife.
58
In its portrait of a strong, independent woman learning to embrace her own ambition, desires, and future via the aid of an older male mentor-cum-father-figure, it colors its triumphant fantasy of female empowerment in a distinctly conservative, paternalistic shade.
