The Internship Audience Reviews

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
nourahussein193 I'm wondering why this movie's rating is mediocre? I really like this movie. the music is so enthusiastic. in IT field the jobs really need very good skills specially in big companies like: Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. so this movie is a good step to make you work harder not feel that you are so bad. and the song, in the beginning, is very funny " It's Like Rain on Your Wedding Day".
feyipuk Based on the IMDb page; Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson standing next to each other; buddy film. The first name on the writers credit is Vince Vaughn; he wants to pass on a message. The description says their way of life has been destroyed and they must change to be like young kids...but based on the previous statements, they're not going to, they're going to make the kids adapt. And like some real action Monsters University, that's pretty much what happens; the kids are made out to be geniuses who spend all their lives in the technology bubble and have no idea about how to cut it in the real world, while the lead actors are portrayed as Luddites, with a gift of the gab and charm. Their two worlds collide, they both rub off on each other and come out the other end with a mix of people skills and tech skills. Which seems to be what Google wants people to see its products.The premise is far fetched; neither of the main characters looks to own a smart phone or computer, yet they get an interview for Google. Yet that's part of the story; everyone has the ability to succeed, even if you're not part of the "in crowd". And while there is lots of yellow/red/green imagery, Android imagery dotted around, and plenty of tech related dialogue, there are no overly long coding sequences. The action flows. If it wasn't Google - with its wide base of user known tech - the story line would have fallen flat after a few minutes.The stereotypes fly thick, and I can understand why Will Ferrell would want to be uncredited; it's not his finest role. The good kids have a nice mix of character traits to make them interesting, though the intern protagonist is to stereotypical (with an equally irritating English accent). It's a pretty written by numbers under dog story, and if you haven't seen Dodge Ball or Wedding Crashers, watch them first.P.S. I can't put WYSIWYG as a summary (as it's deemed as shouting), but if I put wysiwyg it gets corrected to upper case! Glad I don't need to phone Vince Vaughn for assistance.
Bryan Kluger Much like 'Wedding Crashers', the pairing of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in 'The Internship' seems to have potential for a lot of gut-busting laughs. Unfortunately, just like last time these two got together, we end up with a bland paint-by-numbers comedy that provides only a couple of laughs. Not making the situation any better, this one has a PG-13 rating in order to bring a broader and family-friendlier audience, and the entire movie feels like an ad for Google more than a comedy. That being said, the stars should still draw a decent opening weekend.Wilson and Vaughn play virtually the same characters they do in every movie they make. Here, they even seem to be the exact same character with no differentiating characteristics. Billy (Vaughn) and Nick (Wilson) have been salesmen all of their lives, selling watches, scooters and mattresses among other things. When their boss (John Goodman) informs them that the high-end watches they've been selling will be phased out due to people using smartphones to check the time, the two are labeled dinosaurs in a quick changing technological universe, and get fired.For no reason whatsoever, they apply to be interns at Google, which might hopefully lead to permanent jobs at the mega corporation. In an awkward but sincere interview, they land summer internships at Google's campus, despite lacking any knowledge of anything to do with a computer. They're clearly the oldest people in the room by over two decades, but hope that their old-school abilities to sell and lead will help them to start over late in life. Even though the odds are against them from the start, the movie's unbelievable predictability will instantly tell you how this will end.All of the interns get divided into groups to learn and compete in challenges including tech support, creating an app, and even a Quidditch match. Nick and Billy are paired up with a few young adults, all of whom are very smart and at the top of their classes in school, but all lack social skills. Much like every character in the movie, these new partners are entirely one-note as well. I had hoped for deeper characters and roles that didn't seem to be redundant.The band of misfits that form the team are: Stuart (Dylan O'Brien), the above-it-all hipster; Yo-Yo Santos (Tobit Raphael), the smart Asian kid with stern parents; Neha (Tiya Sircar), the only female in the group and a fan-girl of all things sci-fi and anime; and Lyle (Josh Brener), the team leader who has worked for Google for four years and guides the team in the right direction, but lacks confidence. These actors play their parts perfectly well and are fun to watch on screen, but can only go so far with the material they're given.Meanwhile, the villain is Graham (Max Minghella), a British student incapable of any type of friendship who steps on and belittles everyone he can. His over-the-top performance is annoying, but he's effective and will stop at nothing to defeat our rag-tag team. Rose Byrne plays the love interest for Wilson. Will Ferrell, Josh Gad, Rob Riggle, Aasif Mandvi and Gary Anthony Williams all turn up in small and forgettable cameos.Vaughn and Wilson do a good job of improving with each another and providing their same brand of humor from film to film. However, the script limits their ability to really go the extra mile or break off into something different and original. Director Shawn Levy, whose biggest projects were the 'Night at the Museum' films, goes out of the way to showcase Google. Rich primary colors constantly surround the building, which has multi-story slides, nap pods and comfy couches that are all very appeasing to the eye and almost feel like a fairy tale.The story and message of 'The Internship' are solid enough, but the movie has no twists or turns you can't see coming from ten miles away, and its formulaic comedy that we've all seen time and again runs dry quickly. Despite a great cast that should be capable of amazing comedy, the final result is unfulfilling. Save this flick for a video rental, as the only truly remarkable part is the creative end credit sequence.
Python Hyena Internship (2013): Dir: Shawn Levy / Cast: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rose Byrne, Max Minghella, Josh Gad: Wedding Crashers is one of the best comedies of the 2000's. How unfortunate that it is followed up with this boring laughless tripe about connection. While Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson were witty and hysterical in the previous film, here they are bland. They play a couple of salesmen who sell watches until they are let go when it is figured that the I-Phone has replaced watches. On a fluke they decide to apply as interns at Google. While the premise has potential it is followed up with formula writing and characters who make up every stereotype and moron that they could conjure up. Rose Byrne catches Wilson's eye and immediately comes off as a tight ass with a stick wedged up her crack until he predictably breaks the barrier. Max Minghella plays an over the top bully competitor who desires the job prospects of Google and will sabotage when opportunity presents itself. It is unfortunate that he went from The Social Network to this. Vaughn and Wilson are placed in a group with imbeciles. We have the uptight jerk whom they try to befriend. We have the virgin female. We have Lyle who talks in the third person because he is an irritating peon. A scene at a strip club where he gets the stripper is embarrassing with its idiotic bar fight. The biggest idiot discusses his abusive mother and pulls his eye brows out. After being part of this travesty, he will likely be pulling his hair out. The theme of technology and age is strong but the screenplay is so pathetic that it is enough to make viewers pull their eye brows out. Score: 4 / 10
