The Intern

Only a person who is or was in the shoes of Anne Hathaway's character will see the true heart of this film and the best in it. The stress, pressure, and perpetual not getting things done is almost palpable through the screen. It's a hit and probably the highlight of the year in terms of lightweight American pop cinema. Breathtaking interaction between Hathaway and De Niro. Too bad about the weaker finale. Emotions do take place in the middle when they are not wanted but they are direct. (01/11/2016)

The Intern is the kind of movie that literally lifts your spirits and makes your day. The whole thing is incredibly sweet, cute, nostalgic, touching and so right. The film nicely illustrates the differences between classical and modern culture, but it's also very indicative of today's relationships and marriages. Robert De Niro clearly sends a message here of how a proper man should look and behave in today's society, and he has great chemistry with Anne Hathaway, who, on the other hand, is already corrupted by modern times and feels uncomfortable in De Niro's presence as she observes flaws and mistakes in herself. So not only is the film great to watch and something for everyone, there is also Zack Pearlman who entertains the entire audience with his humor and gestures every time he’s on screen. I wouldn't be surprised if he grows up to be a future star on the comedy scene. So simply put, funny, beautiful, touching, well acted, clever, nicely thought out and the first film in history where the whole cinema started clapping and hugging when it was over, it adds incredibly to the final experience. I recommend it. 90% (10/29/2015)

An emotionally human movie that doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not and it tells a story of every one of us. Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro were absolutely priceless and even thought the movie is basically normal and ordinary, the honesty of the characters of these two actors brings it to new heights. The only moment that’s really worth it all is a scene when they break into a house just to delete a single email on a notebook. That was an absolute blast and it’s outright made my heart beat twice as fast. (01/25/2016)

Yoga, Apple, offices, creatives, cell phones, tablets, Xanax, wheeled chairs, tweets, massages, paperweights, pens, clothes, and much more in this creepy corporate hell that only first-rate rodents must enjoy. Not enough? Well, see how long it is and know that in addition to the shabby tale of how Grandpa Mushroom stunned the FB generation, you'll also get a rousing etude on Nancy Meyers' shitty personal life. I had to make the only comedic moment myself, which was when Robert de Niro watches a scene from Singin' in the Rain on TV with tears in his eyes, I imagined he was watching himself in The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, or some other film from a time when men feared him and women... also feared him.

Robert De Niro is such a great actor that you believe him in every role, even if it's not necessarily well-written. This is not the case, however. His intern isn't as flat a character as it might seem at first glance, and Robert allows him to shine while remaining in the background. While Anne Hathaway should be the main character, and she's great, the legendary De Niro simply shines. Moreover, it's pleasantly entertaining, just touching enough, and overall nice. (01/12/2016)
