The Intern Should Be Hired As Your Next Movie By Art Byrd Late August, I was watching movie trailers in the movie theater. The trailer for the movie, The Intern starring Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro came on. The trailer was so heartwarming and funny. I had a great feeling about the movie and couldn’t wait to see it. My feeling was right. The Intern is a wonderful fall movie. The movie is written and directed by Nancy Meyers whose past movies have included It’s Complicated (2009), Something Gotta Give (2003) and a favorite of mine, The Holiday (2006). With Meyers, the team up of Hathaway and DeNiro and a great supporting cast, The Intern makes you laugh and tugs at your heart. I saw the movie on a Saturday afternoon with an older crowd. They seem to have a great time. A younger audience will have good time, too. The storyline is very simple. Jules Ostin played by Anne Hathaway is the founder and CEO of “About The Fit”, a fashion based e-commerce company. The company decides to have an outreach program where seniors over 50 are able to become interns. Ben Whittaker played by Robert DeNiro is a retired widower who has tried everything from Tai Chi classes to extensive travel. He feels that something is missing. Ben sees a flyer about the intern outreach program and applies. Ben is hired and assigned to Jules. Jules is extremely driven and her company is only 18 months old. Her investors believe that she needs a CEO to run the company while she handles the creative part of the company.
