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. Go to Full Review Megan Garber The Atlantic 07/22/2016
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. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Jan 1

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. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 05/27/2022

Frans B @FransB Jan 2 Brilliant! It does enough with it's timely premise. Great writing and Nancy Meyers did good in bringing it to screen. Very good cinematography, visually stunning. Whole cast convincing in character. Great chemistry between De Niro and Hathaway makes it even more charming. So easy to watch, enough drama, action, comedy, good pace and heartwarming. Everybody will be able to take something positive away from this, imo. See more Mayank N @mayanknailwal Dec 23 The film sidesteps easy jokes and artificial conflict in favor of genuine empathy, communication, and characters who behave like actual adults. Meyers shows admirable restraint, refusing to let the material tip into caricature. De Niro is warm, generous, and quietly great, but this is largely Anne Hathaway’s film. Her CEO is allowed competence, ambition, doubt, and contradiction without being punished for any of it. The film isn’t edgy or flashy, and it’s all the better for it. A near-perfect studio programmer we don’t get anymore. It’s telling that a decade later, Meyers still hasn’t been able to get another one made. See more Cort M Nov 30 Slow moving and boring. Not DeNiro’s finest See more Bill V @aerondor Nov 17 I really enjoyed this. It's a feel good story with humor, plot and good actors. A really sweet movie. See more Janet D @DrJanet Nov 14 Great movie! Robert DeNiro and Anne Hathaway were spectacular. See more David C Nov 10 La trama es buena pero es un poco lenta y larga See more Read all reviews
