Movie #904 "The Internship" was more fun than I thought it was going to be. I guess I like the pairing of these two guys in films (because I also enjoyed "Wedding Crashers"). They seem to be playing the same guys here, and that's probably why the film wasn't highly rated when it came out, but I thought I would like to see it because it was about google, the supposedly happiest place to work on the planet. Of course, you've seen this movie before. I already said, if you saw "Wedding Crashers" you can guess these guys know nothing about computers and try to crash their way into a place where EVERYONE knows about computers, Harry Potter, Marvel comics, etc. So not only are they older than everyone, they are definitely of a different generation. But because of their energy and passion to sales, they can "sell " themselves off as team players, and they teach their team of outsiders (outliers, as one brain puts it --- but hardly anyone gets the joke) to play together. You can guess the end, too, but along the way, there's some funny moments --- I laughed out loud several times, often on the off hand remarks they are making in the background. I enjoyed it, but disclaimer: I didn't get some of the computer jokes because I share their ignorance in much of what happens at google. Oh well, I still could enjoy the film, and I think some of you will, too.
The Internship2013PG-13119 minutes I give this 3.9 stars out of 5.
Two out-of-work salesmen, lacking the digital-savvy skills they need to find jobs, sign on as interns at a high-tech company. While their new assignment may give them the training they need, it also means staying one step ahead of their ignorance.
