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

Grace Manger Bitch Media 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. Feb 9, 2021 Full Review Megan Garber 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. Jul 22, 2016 Full Review Max Weiss 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 Jun 12, 2016 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies 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 Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Meyers concocts a few madcap comedy situations to break up the otherwise low-key tone. Rated: 2.5/4 May 27, 2022 Full Review Therese Lacson Nerdophiles [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 Oct 9, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Koi P Enjoyable and honest. An easy and pleasant watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Lissbeth G great movie, until she decides to forgive her cheating husband. defeats the whole purpose of her talking about empowerment and being belittled for being a women in business. so disappointing. and the husband’s actor sucked. sounded like he was reading off a script as a joke the whole time Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Paul R This was a pretty good movie until the last 20 minutes or so. Jules looked so weak and pathetic with forgiving her husband that it completely ruined the movie. I can't imagine any women being that forgiving and then trusting him that the affair has ended. Also, it had a weird creepy vibe with Jules and Ben. What women would suddenly get that trustworthy and intimate with an old man she just met? Just weird. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review J F I loved the movie for its great story and Robert Duvall. Anne Hathaway though never found her footing on exactly who her character was. She was supposed to be difficult to work with in the beginning but that reputation was never portrayed. Her scene when eating pizza with Duvall was odd as she kept shoving pizza in her mouth n talking. The child scenes were really over the top. Example, Mommy can you make guacamole? Yes, I can n you can help n then we'll have a mommy daughter dance!! Insert eyeroll. Too sweet n syrupy, all the child scenes were like that. Enjoyable movie with rest of actors but would have loved to see someone else in the roll of Jules. Hathaway was just lost in it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Kamishin x Pienso que es mi pelicula favorita, quizas porque Robert aqui se me hace un ejemplo a seguir como persona o como un ideal a alcanzar. Ciertamete es entretenida y me caen bien los personajes, la dinamica es maravillosa, tuve experiencias trabajando con personas mayores y es bastante similar a como se muestra. Naturalmente me molesta bastante el final, no tiene sentido la eleccion pero si calza con la protagonista, ella dice que puede, así que puede, no hay mucha vuelta. Mi escena favorita es cuando estan ambos en la cama y prenden el televisor, un detalle bonito, lloro siempre en ese momento. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Stefi C el hombre es un amor, todo lo que hace me da ternura, con él todo bien, lo que no me gustó fue que la cornuda perdonara al que la cuerneó Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
