The Intern

UK Release Date: 2nd October 2015

70-year-old widower Ben Whittaker has discovered that retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be. Seizing an opportunity to get back in the game, he becomes a senior intern at an online fashion site, founded and run by Jules Ostin (www.imdb.com).

Director: Nancy Meyers (Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday, It's Complicated)

Starring: Robert De Niro, Anne Hathaway, Anders Holm, Adam DeVine

Nancy Meyer's latest film, The Intern, shows the bond between a young successful woman (Hathaway) who owns a online clothing company and a retired man (De Niro) who becomes her intern. It differs from her other movies because love is out of the picture, well with De Niro and Hathaway's characters. A fatherly figure is what Ben is to  (Hathaway), their chemistry honest and pure. The Intern is a sweet film that does no harm, ticks all the right 'enjoyment' boxes, with very few upsets on the way, but nothing that we can't handle. 

3.5/5
