Weekly movie reviews (the Internship)

Movie info:

Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation's most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention.

Movie reviews:

Though Vaughn and Wilson do maintain much of the chemistry they showed us in Wedding Crashers, the movie itself doesn't really earn the friendship it's trying to present — the emotional stakes never really rise to the point where you feel engaged. For every great moment, like Vaughn unwittingly pitching an app that’s exactly like Instagram, there are several more that fall flat.

To the movie's credit, it does a passably good job of depicting a realistic breadth of geek archetypes in 2013: your overachieving homeschooler, your cosplayer, your Ivy-league, and  a female engineer who isn't overwhelmed by a stereotypical work / life conflict. Those who were unfortunate enough to see Josh Gad's Steve Wozniak in Jobs will be pleased to know he makes a nice turn in The Internship as a nerd savant.

The Internship's most affecting moment is a surprising one when the kids become humanized and relatable when they reveal that they, like Nick and Billy, are worried they won’t have jobs either. The old guys might be adrift, but even the most elite of college students don't have a guaranteed spot in the new economy.

Besides that, the determination shown by the main Vaughn play the main role in this movie. Even though he lost his job, where his boss claimed that their jobs were obseleted, but he did not give up rather he found a new job which was not 'related' to him at all (Google), which need computer expertise.He and Wilson were enthusiasm to pass the interview where they believed that the world need a person like them. 

This movie also showed us that, in this new era, we need to think creative (think out of the box) rather than being obedient. The Google's company was looking for someone who can change and develop the company globally. Vaughn and Wilson had opened the manager's eyes where they managed to promote about 60 shops in their last task.Due to their creative and talent, their team finally got the job in the company.

But while The Internship plays around the edges of these thorny economic issues, at its heart it's aiming to be a feel-good comedy, not social commentary. That tension leads to a surreal climax. The greatest triumph in the world of The Internship is simply being employed. Overall, it's a great movie !
