What a lovely movie to spend your afternoon watching it ! It has the perfect mixture of comedy "not for laughing out loud though", sensations, good writing, "Anne Hathaway" different face expressions, "Robert De Niro" warm acting, and of course a good dose of drama especially in the last thirty minutes of the movie.The movie follows multiple line of actions, one of "Robert De Niro" that shows us a good background about his character, and another one about "Anne Hathaway" that shows up her multiple layers continuously throughout the movie, and of course both of them meet up together to start the plot of the movie.Finally, it's a light comedy drama movie with a genuine idea that was well represented with that group of actors, and of course it can get you out of a bad mood.

Wow.This movie was wonderful.Simple yet empowering and shows that you really can accomplish anything in life no matter how old or young you are.The story just grips you in right from the start until the end.Check it out , hopefully you'd also want it to not end as much as I did.

So I had no interest in The Intern, at all. The only reason I ended up watching it was because I was cooking in the Caribbean and needed a time out in a beautifully air conditioned room.Now I like Hathaway, I think she's a competent actress but I very very rarely get to see her in anything as she is a very niche actress and only tends to do the kind of movies I go out of my way to avoid.With her and DeNiro I expected at least strong performances and I got them and a lot more on top. The ludicrous plot plays out better than you'd expect, it turns into something beautiful and heartfelt.The Intern is undeniably a sweet movie and it has substance but sadly it also has a number of overwhelming flaws.Now Nancy Meyers is arguably the "Chick flick" queen and therefore I haven't seen many of her films. Based on this despite it being a competent little film I don't think I'll be rushing to see anymore.Though full of emotional and thought provoking moments it simply has too much that plays against it and a finale that I had to see with my own eyes to believe.Passable, but I'm not the demographic.The Good:HeartfeltWell madeThe Bad:Questionable finalePlenty of schmultzThings I Learnt From This Movie:I will never understand why so many react like that to infidelity, leave immediatly you silly girls!

At first glance this movie seems like a decent movie but it's really not...Synopsis: A privilege white woman with mommy issues and too much opportunity starts a business off an unoriginal idea (cause online clothes shopping is nothing new), gets sad when she's too successful and starts an inappropriate friendship with an old intern who decided that a life time of working and having the chance to actually retire is too boring in a world where millions of people can only dream of retirement one day and decides to apply to work for said white woman for free.Said woman is riddled with guilt about her success because her spoiled hipster husband stays at home, contributes nothing but minimal parenting responsibility and then decides to cheat because his ego is so fragile that he can't stand his wife being a successful human being. Over the course of a month (or maybe 2?) nothing changes except that said woman stays with piece of child man child after a half ass apology. Old guy who had a lifetime of happiness with his now deceased wife gets a girlfriend because being alone is bad. Ends with Tai Chi session in a park in downtown New York (somehow?) to symbolize how hard life is for white people and sometimes you just need to appropriate Chinese culture to make yourself feel better.Overall, this movie has no substance to it. But the cast is nice to look at, I guess.
