After old-school salesmen Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) find themselves downsized, Billy decides that, despite their complete lack of technological savvy, they should work for Google. The friends somehow manage to finagle internships at the Internet giant and promptly head out to Silicon Valley. Viewed with disdain by most of their fellow interns, Billy and Nick join forces with the rest of the misfit "nooglers" to make it through a series of competitive team challenges.

Critics Consensus

The Internship weighs down Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson's comic charisma with a formulaic script and padded running time that leans heavily on its stars' easygoing interplay.

You don't need a heart to like this movie. You need an MBA.

Similar to Eddie Murphy's hard right turn from daring and profane comedy to family-friendly romps, Vaughn and Wilson have gone all soft and gooey here.

Rated: 1.5/4

A laboured, mawkish plug for Google.

... The confluence of its qualities can't elevate The Internship enough to separate itself from its toxic and corrosive surface. [Full review in Spanish]

While the film never completely gels, it also never completely disappoints.

Starts well, before it turns into the weirdest and longest advert you’ll ever see. Watched on DVD.

But honestly, did we really need that Quidditch match? It felt unnecessary and dragged on longer than it should have.

Having watched this for the first time in 2025, the movie wasn’t what I was expecting. I enjoyed the story and dynamics between the characters and this light comedy movie is actually something I would like to see more often

De tão esdrúxulo e abobado se torna absurdamente divertido, o contexto inovador acoplado as novas tecnologias em detrimento da era analógica dos protagonista, protagonizas cenas e falas monumentais, algumas, ou muitas situações desnecessárias, como joguinhos, flertes, em contrapartida, as cenas de reunião entre nerds jovens e os arcaicos protagonistas analógicos são o ponto alto do filme. Tem até um msg fofinha no final. Super me identifiquei com Vince Vaughn, otimista, tapado e de bom coração.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
