Seventy-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.
"For hardcore movie buffs and followers of Robert De Niro's career, it has likely been confusing to see the legendary star of "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull" act in fairly average movies like "Meet the Fockers," "Righteous Kill," or "Grumpier Old Men" in his later career. Among them, "The Intern" has been one of the more decent productions of his recent filmography, largely thanks to his charisma and on-screen chemistry with Anne Hathaway ("The Devil Wears Prada"). It's also a script that tackles contemporary themes, such as the ideological gap between generations, the precarious family and economic situation many elderly citizens find themselves in (as well as the need to appreciate their wisdom), as well as the challenges faced by working women at home and in the workplace. It's not the deepest film on any of these topics, but it's appreciated that a comedy whose purpose is pure entertainment addresses them."
