70-year-old widower Ben Whittaker has discovered that retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be. Seizing an opportunity to get back in the game, he becomes a senior intern at an online fashion site, founded and run by Jules Ostin.

A lot of people are being down on this, but it looks fine for who it's intended for.

I'm not a big romcom fan usually, but as far as the genre goes Nancy Meyers has definitely made some of the better ones. The only film of hers I haven't seen is Something's Gotta Give, and all of the others were really good.

Looks kinda like a DWP sequel without the Dragon lady, which is exactly what I expected.

I thought I commented on this when the thread was first made, but I guess not. While I did watch the original trailer, I don't even need to watch the new UK one to know that I'm watching this. I think I'm going to really like this one.

Looks pretty dated and by the numbers but I will watch anything with De Nero and its nice he is getting a lead role in a big movie.
Hope it is decent and and least slightly enjoyable.

Really excited to see him in Dirty Grandpa or whatever its called where he gets to go R-rated after a string of very safe PG-13 comedies (last vegas, Grudge Match New Years Eve, The Intern)

I do kind of get that Devil Wears Prada vibe from this, probably due to Anne Hathaway. Either way that is a good thing to me. I look forward to it.

Riddler The Slag · 08-04-2015, 01:58 PM

I have to be one of the few people left who still likes Anne Hathaway.

Plus, I mean it's Robert DeNiro. The man rarely does wrong in my eyes.

Nah. We still exist.

I've seen this trailer 78 times in the last week in theaters.

How does anybody not like Anne Hathaway? What's not to like?

A lot of people turned on her because of how she carried herself during the award season after Les Miserables. Just between people I know she is really divisive among women too.

Wow.

Batman1980 · 09-26-2015, 11:19 PM

At about the same level as DWP, very good throughout.

Jasonic · 09-27-2015, 12:31 AM

I enjoyed it, but not as much as I was hoping. I just don't think it was as interesting a movie as it could of been. What I do really like about it is both De Niro and Hathaway give 110%.

Yeah their chemistry carries the movie but the rest of it does fall a bit flat. Still pretty good just for them, though.

Britnasty · 09-27-2015, 10:58 PM

4.5/5

Loved this. Just found it to be undeniably adorable.

LOVED DeNiro in this, just a heartwarming presence and his opening scene was just so cute.

also L O V E D Hathaway in this. She has never been more likable and has never shown this many layers in one film for me personally.

MEB · 09-30-2015, 12:06 AM

Critic consensus is wrong, audience consensus is right! Fun little film, always entertaining, occasionally brilliant!

The Booth Bijou gives 'The Intern' 4.5 out of 5 stars!
