Critics Consensus

The Intern doesn't do enough with its timely premise, but benefits from the unorthodox chemistry of its talented leads.

There seemed to be a lot of value placed on male approval, something Jules spent the entire film searching for, and ultimately finding in her intern.

There's something powerful in that, in the simple fact that The Intern is so sympathetic to its older character-so resolutely on the side of a person who might, in other contexts, be dismissed or ignored or, as is so often the case, invisible.

It's the kind of compulsively watchable film you'll be helpless to resist when it shows up on cable TV.

4/5

The Intern runs a bit longer than it should but leads Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway make it worthwhile--it's a film that gets better with age.

2.5/4

Meyers concocts a few madcap comedy situations to break up the otherwise low-key tone.

2.5/5

[Where] it succeeds its charm and grace, it lacks in depth. The meat of the story can be summarized in a sentence and ends up feeling somewhat superficially emotional...

Slow moving and boring. Not DeNiro’s finest

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

This very comfortable, friendly movie was a surprise gem. I'm a senior and that's probably part of it, but I have to think most people will like this, regardless of age. Enjoy!
