In "The Intern," Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) is a 70-year-old widower who 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 (Anne Hathaway). (Warner Bros. US)

A nice easy watch, but that’s about it. I like Hathaway in pretty much anything, De Niro obviously couldn’t care less about this movie, and the rest of the actors are just there. Rather than a full-fledged movie, it seems to be more of a two-hour promotion video for a non-existent company plus some relationship storylines that are neither here or there. Simply a nice film which I will (probably) forget in a month.

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.

The Intern is an incredibly cute, almost naive film, undermined by its exorbitant running time and its distortion of reality. There are never enough feel-good films, but in this case the naivety was too glaring at times. Story-wise, it is a predictable but nicely acted film that doesn't surprise, impress or offend. Except for an adventurous "mission" with deleting emails, the film doesn't offer many humorous scenes, which was a pity. Nancy Meyers definitely has more entertaining pieces to her credit.

This otherwise routine and easygoing confection is greatly diversified by setting the plot in a chaotic corporate environment with apparently no room for feelings and close relationships (yet all you have to do is clean up the boss's desk, and suddenly there is plenty of room :). Hathaway has an excellent role after a long time and handles her energetic workaholic with great aplomb, while De Niro is as praiseworthy as usual, he still has charisma to spare and manages to please even in a similarly boilerplate position of a wise-cracking, good-hearted old man. But most of all, the viewer feels such a sincere and positive chemistry between them that that they will be happy accept the rigidly constructed narrative scheme and, for once, succumb again to the annual obligatory Hollywood romance, which, despite its infantilism, it’s impossible to hate. 65%

An unrealistic movie about people, intended as a feel-good picture. But thanks to De Niro and Hathaway, it is well-acted and works great. The old man is like an uncle to the youngsters in the office, he becomes more intimate with the boss and puts everything into the right perspective. A really nice fairytale.
