The INTERN - Heart-warming Humor that transcends Generations

Rare is a movie that effectively transcends generations and speaks in a language of the times, wherein the characters are realistic reflections of the society in which we live in today. 

The Intern is a surprisingly hilarious and heart warming movie which starts in an awkward situation and blossoms into a beautiful friendship. 

Academy award winner Robert De Niro stars as Ben Wittacker, a 70 year old widower who finds himself with so much time in his hands and with nothing to do. Apparently, retirement isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Taking advantage of an opportunity which will get him back in the corporate scene. 

Enter Academy award winner Anne Hathaway (Jules Ostin) whose online fashion site is looking for senior Interns (senior in life), at first Jules isn't so sure about the idea of senior Interns in her fast-paced demanding world but what she doesn't realize is that Ben might be exactly what she needs. 

I wasn't so sure how the story would play out and where would the conflict arise but The Intern delivered, not just in the hilarious scenes which had the whole movie house breaking into hysterical laughter but in the aspect of real life troubles as well. You could tell that the audience was invested in the characters with how they reacted to each scene. 

It's a new buddy movie, one that we haven't seen before and I really enjoyed the film. 

The film’s multi-generational cast also features Rene Russo, Anders Holm, Andrew Rannells, Adam Devine, Celia Weston, Nat Wolff, Linda Lavin, Zack Pearlman, newcomer Jason Orley, and Christina Scherer. In my opinion the cast was pretty strong and they had a good ensemble about them despite the generation gap but this just makes the movie even more adorable and worth-watching. You'll enjoy it as a date movie with your loved one or even your parents! :) 

You may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks but maybe he can teach you some. 

Opening across the Philippines on September 24, “The Intern” will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
