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.

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.

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%

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.

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.
