In this sad excuse for a movie Wilson and Vaughn are two unemployed salesmen who manage to get an internship at Google. The comedic element should be that two 40 something who know nothing about technology can compete with kids born with a smartphone in their hands, thanks to their life experience .Unfortunately, the paper thin plot is further watered down by the endless speeches (mostly monologues) delivered by Wilson and Vaughn. They talk so much, half way through the movie I just wanted them to shut up and give some space to the other characters - as stereotyped as they are.Vaughn wrote the script and as it often happens in these cases, he decided to give himself and Wilson lots of long, boring, pseudo-deep speeches. I never notice how annoying an actor he can be when given so much space. Unrestrainable talkative, arrogant and loud.A chemistry-free love story is added to the plot, with some cringe-inducing scenes such as the Rose Byrne character asking Wilson during their first date to behave obnoxiously and he obliging.The movie does not work even as a two-hour long ad for Google. In fact, it seems to last way longer. I could not believe how long it dragged on. Luckily I watched it on TV and I let it play until the end, only because somebody mentioned that the end credits are the best part of the movie - considering how bad is the movie, it is still not much...

movie is totally amazing, when the old fashion and new fashion meets up, this is what happens. Director is totally innovative and i really admired his visual treat especially at climax credit parts and coming to the plot, movie will inspire you and also cheer you. Don't get too cheesy with some concepts... because it is just something to entertain after all. i suggest everyone has to watch at least once for life :) cheers . looking for sequel too , these two people always make the movie so special with their timing comedy. they gave space for every character to play their part, it looked like i made a internship in google for 2hours too :D and hope it does same to you people too

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson stars in another comedy that portrays successful salesmen that decided for a career change as computer programmers. Many of the scenes took place at the Google Headquarters at Mountain View, California.The movie presents two forty-something watch salesmen - Billy McMahon and Nick Campbell - based from Atlanta who lost their jobs after their company shut down.Billy convince Nick to try their luck at Google and apply as interns.After being barely convinced to be taken at a Google internship,the fun and excitement begins as both work their way into getting as Google employees as well as the adjustments they make into making their way with present employees of Google who apparently are mostly half their age and twice their IQ's. No question that Vaughn and Wilson try to recreate their success in Wedding Crashers while trying to spout a corporate message found on Google.Too bad that the movie isn't as successful considering that most of the jokes aren't as funny and one has to be familiar with computers to appreciate the jokes.Also,it is apparent that the movie turned basically into a two-hour advertisement for both Google and an IT career.What's worse is the fact that it makes fun and laugh at the the issues that the country is currently facing like many young Americans are worried and fearful about the future, a lot of professionals are into changing careers after they have been laid off from their companies as computers have taken over their jobs and that their jobs are being either offshored or outsourced elsewhere where cheap and inexpensive labor exists.It could have been more effective had the movie dealt with thess issues intelligently and provided hope for our current economic misery.Too bad that it doesn't and it basically relied on the comedic abilities of the leads which unfortunately aren't effective all the time.

Based on the IMDb page; Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson standing next to each other; buddy film. The first name on the writers credit is Vince Vaughn; he wants to pass on a message. The description says their way of life has been destroyed and they must change to be like young kids...but based on the previous statements, they're not going to, they're going to make the kids adapt. And like some real action Monsters University, that's pretty much what happens; the kids are made out to be geniuses who spend all their lives in the technology bubble and have no idea about how to cut it in the real world, while the lead actors are portrayed as Luddites, with a gift of the gab and charm. Their two worlds collide, they both rub off on each other and come out the other end with a mix of people skills and tech skills. Which seems to be what Google wants people to see its products.The premise is far fetched; neither of the main characters looks to own a smart phone or computer, yet they get an interview for Google. Yet that's part of the story; everyone has the ability to succeed, even if you're not part of the "in crowd". And while there is lots of yellow/red/green imagery, Android imagery dotted around, and plenty of tech related dialogue, there are no overly long coding sequences. The action flows. If it wasn't Google - with its wide base of user known tech - the story line would have fallen flat after a few minutes.The stereotypes fly thick, and I can understand why Will Ferrell would want to be uncredited; it's not his finest role. The good kids have a nice mix of character traits to make them interesting, though the intern protagonist is to stereotypical (with an equally irritating English accent). It's a pretty written by numbers under dog story, and if you haven't seen Dodge Ball or Wedding Crashers, watch them first.P.S. I can't put WYSIWYG as a summary (as it's deemed as shouting), but if I put wysiwyg it gets corrected to upper case! Glad I don't need to phone Vince Vaughn for assistance.
