The Internship

2 ½ pipes out of 4

The Wedding Crashers are back and they are the just the same as before only in a new environment. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are introduced as watch salesmen whose business has gone under in a watchless society. Forced into the job market with no market able skills, they happen to land an interview for an internship at Google. Amazingly they happen to get the internship and begin competing with college students from the like of Brown, Stanford and MIT for only 5 permanent jobs. As typical with these types of movies they are grouped with the dysfunctional group and are made fun of for their impossible naivety in the likes of Harry Potter, X-Men and the internet. Most of the comedy comes from this generational gap and their awkwardness with technology though some comes from the social anxieties put upon the ‘geeky’ group members Vaughn and Wilson are paired with. Both the young bucks and then old veterans teach each other lessons in that Technology does make life easier but it also can remove the human element and that is what is most important. The internship come out a few years ago this may have been the break out hit of the summer, however now it is simply a fun movie to see during a matinee.
