The Internship (2013)

Waste of time

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Any comedy film with more than one or two montage sequences, backed by a familiar or quirky pieces of pop music, sets off an alarm in my head.It's a sure sign of a lazy script that hasn't been worked through properly. The writer can't think of decent dialogue to move the plot or characters from A to B and so resorts to a montage to produce a "magical" transformation in the characters point of view.I like Vince Vaughns shtick, but unfortunately far too many of his movies resort to this shallow technique to move the plot along, instead of spending a bit more time and working out how to tell the story properly.I may be wrong, but I think Wedding Crashers had only one major montage I can recall, but in films like this and "Delivery Man" the whole second half of the film seems to consist of them.I've seen "Swingers" and "Made", so I know you can do better Vince, so please try harder in future!PS Is going to a titty bar, where people are friendly to anyone as long as they get paid, really the answer to overcoming social awkwardness?

The Internship have received mixed reviews from numerous viewers and critics alike for various reasons such as being a primarily a Google ad; unable to provide laughter; having clichéd and predictable screenplay; and many more. It never did well in the box office. Vince Vaugh commented that the studio interfering and making it a PG-13 film instead of an R-rated movie that excluded its crude and raunchy humor was a big factor to it. The DVD/Blu-Ray provided two versions of the film and evidently there is a big difference in terms of the number of times the F-word was made and the breast exposure it had.But one could not discount the fact that there were other reasons why it does not compare to the other Vince Vaugh and Owen Wilson starrer - The Wedding Crashers - to which the movie is often compared to.The film is about two salesmen who lost their jobs and decided for a career change in becoming Google interns despite having no knowledge in computers and computer programming. Their journey from becoming interns together with their team members and predictably their becoming Google employees at the end was the focus of the story.These includes the values they have exchanged from the old members to the young members and vice-versa as well as overcoming the challenges they have met into being Google interns. The screenplay was evidently clichéd as there was nothing new found in it.If I could criticize the film,it apparently somehow makes fun of the country's current economic misery such as middle-age professionals losing their job years before retirement and being prompted to change careers and young graduates who feel having a bleak future.Too bad that the film does not address these issues and it instead treats it like a laughing matter. The conclusion of having the leads - the two middle-age former salesmen and their young members - getting a job at Google while subtly ignoring the other 95% including the villain Graham and his fat member who happens to be a Harvard computer science graduate and has a 2390 SAT score who are all left jobless leave a sorry note to the film.It was criminal to see many Nooglers in celebration at the end when they realize not getting accepting employment as the pizza was being distributed.

This movie was good, albeit a little cheesy and at times, unnecessarily risqué. However, I really liked it. Tbh, I watched it for Dylan Obrien because he's awesome (Watch Teen Wolf- its not what you think its actually really good). As a "young person" I felt like I could relate to the students in the movie. This may be a case of product placement, but I don't think it detracted from the movie. (Plus, Google is pretty cool. It has become a verb- that''s sure proof of success.) I actually loved the fact that it was set in Google headquarters or whatever it was- it was a clean, spacious environment that didn't feel stuffy. Basically, easy to watch and fairly uncomplicated, cliché but so so relatable, absolutely hilarious, and Dylan rocked it! I definitely recommend it.

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.
