The Intern, from the trailer itself, seemed delightful. And yes, it was a delightful and heartwarming movie. Seasoned actors Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway put an effortless performance to steal the show.
'The Intern' is a 'feelgood movie', which you'll watch and enjoy, and watch it again and again. But you will not appreciate it, as it does not offer anything new in terms of a brilliant storyline (okay credits for introducing us to senior citizen internships) or a tremendous performance by its cast. What is credible is the amazing chemistry shared by our two protagonists, which makes us love the movie.
The movie starts off with us getting an introduction of Ben Whittaker (De Niro) who has been feeling a bit lonely and bored since his wife died and he retired. He senses a new opportunity in a senior internship program offered by a startup - AboutTheFit - yes, run by Jules Ostin (Hathaway). At first Jules is reluctant to work with Ben, but time passes by, and Ben impresses her and everyone at the firm with his mannerisms and friendly nature and they form a reliable and trustworthy relationship.
What also works for the movie is the exceptional comic timing of the script, coupled with some good performances by the supporting characters.
The movie pleases the crowd and it does that job well.
My Rating - 6.8/10
