A retired widower (Robert De Niro) answers an advertisement for a Senior (aged) Intern at an up and coming Online Purchasing business and finds himself mentoring the youthful staff and Chief Executive (Anne Hathaway) not only in business lessons but life lessons as well.
I've read mainly lukewarm reviews of 'The Intern' and also seen comments on social media that it is a one joke film; the joke being senior citizens struggling with 21st Century technology. I think only someone pretty youthful with many years of their life and learning still ahead of them could make the latter narrow visioned comment.
We enjoyed the film and found a lot to like about it. I think De Niro played the cute card a bit too much but otherwise the film has a lot to recommend it.
★★★1/2
