Critics Consensus

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

Grace Manger

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.

Baltimore Magazine

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

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

Rated: 4/5

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 2.5/4

[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...

I had to watch this movie for my major, and I really enjoyed it. It’s not the kind of film you watch to take notes, but rather one to enjoy with your family on a cozy Sunday afternoon.

Storyline wasn’t the strongest, but I like the concept of a seasoned actor like De Niro mixing it up with young people and showing them a thing or two! He can play a mafia boss that scares the bejesus out of you to this light comedy, and be convincing and eloquent in both. Much of the dialogue & interaction between the characters were idealized and unrealistic, but in the end it was light-hearted and enjoyable and worth it just to watch De Niro give a masterclass in acting.

This movie wasted two hours of my life. The female lead runs a successful company only to let her feminine husband cheat on her and she immediately forgives him. The writers should've given her some self-respect because clearly she didn't have any for herself.

A heartwarming film for sure. Great acting of Rober De Niro and Anna Hethaway,Light, there chemistry ewas one of the postive thing of the movie, this movie shows the value in people and how the senior citizen can look into younger generation people and vice versa Office culture of mixed generation and how each can learn from others..
