This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Wow.This movie was wonderful.Simple yet empowering and shows that you really can accomplish anything in life no matter how old or young you are.The story just grips you in right from the start until the end.Check it out , hopefully you'd also want it to not end as much as I did.
This is a really nice movie, and I mean that in a positive way. I was reminded how completely charming Anne Hathaway is, even if the premise had echoes of The Devil Wears Pravda. DeNiro is quiet and understated, so much so that you wonder if a Goodfellas moment is around the corner, but thankfully it's not. There could have been more about the other senior interns for something inside from comic relief, but otherwise a very watchable movie.Anne Hathaway is adorable in it, did I mention that?
A retired widower, Ben, starts a new job as an intern in an online fashion retailer company run by, Jules, the workaholic super committed young lady. The two of them get encountered as Ben becomes Jules's personal intern. Following his looks and the way he dressed, Jules thought Ben can't offer much nether to her, nor to her company. So, she gave him the least amount of tasks. Surprisingly he catches her attention after he managed to voluntarily arrange a disk that has been always found unarranged. Subsequently, Ben becomes her right hand who is responsible for each aspect of her life, starting from getting her daughter to and from school, to breaking into her mother's house to delete an email sent to her by mistake from Jules. Eventually, his guidance helps her bringing her life together. It's a nice drama/light movie about starting over, and how people could do more regardless their age or problems. However, the journey for Ben, the leading role wasn't much of a struggle. Which brings us to wonder, whose story it was? Ben, or Jules's? Ben didn't do much to blend in, while the effort Jules had to do to amend her marriage, sort things out in her company, and bringing her life together was much in comparison to the challenges Ben went through. He didn't fail, not even once in any of his tasks. He drew a line of wisdom, comfort, and trust through the whole movie, yet, it was a bit difficult to believe. Especially, when he mentioned at the beginning of the movie that he used to call his grandson to ask him what the heck is a USB, but we see him smoothly using a laptop, doing emails, and he even changed from an old SAMSUNG to an iPhone with no much of a struggle. It's a nice movie indeed, that drew a smile and a relief following the happy ending.
The emotional heart melting drama starred by actor Robert De Niro (as 70 years old, Ben The senior intern) and actress Anne Hathaway (as Ben's boss, Jules). Do not expect me that will say this is a love story crap between two of them. This movie is far from that. It is about how an old intern, Ben changes the life of the hardworking & workaholic, Jules together with some emotional drama. I hate to say this but this movie made my eyes to tear for few scenes.
