Critics Consensus

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

I absolutely loved this movie. Whoever wrote the story line was spot on. Had some drama and comedy. I enjoyed watching it. I was hoping he would take the CEO position but it still turned out pretty good on my opinion. This ranked pretty high on good movies to watch. I highly recommend it

Absolutely loved it! It's a soft story with great perspectives. Amazing actors and actresses and an absolute joy to watch. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a feel-good movie that doesn't revolve around romance alone.

Although fun and engaging, it doesn't present any uniqueness when it comes to the artistic vision. Obviously the chemistry between De Niro and Hathaway is amazing, but their characters aren't. And to top it all, it fills the movie with very unrealistic and comedic scenes that don't add up

It's life, no matter where you are in it nothing is perfect. People are always going to tell you what they think is best for you but learning to listen and trust in yourself, will allow you to walk with your head higher. Don't live life doing what's best for others or make anyone other than you happy. Otherwise you'll never be the best version of you. Put this on your list of movies to watch while wrapped up in bed. It'll leave you with a smile and a feel good sense.

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.

The Atlantic

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

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...

Rated: 2.5/5

Although many critics panned The Intern, I believe the film has much to say, especially in a society where the elderly are often mocked or ignored just because they seem old-fashioned or have a hard time with technology...
