The Intern

This movie stars Robert De Niro as a retired widower who has found out that being alone and having a lot of free time isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.  When he sees a flyer advertising for a senior intern, he decides to try it out.  Anne Hathaway plays a young woman that has started her own internet business and it is growing to the point where she’s almost in over her head.  She thinks the whole “senior intern” thing is a joke, but after awhile, realizes how much his experience can help.  Also, just how important it can be to have someone with an actual work ethic that knows what they’re doing and can offer you different points of view – it turns out to be invaluable to her.  It takes her some time to figure this out, but once she does, she can’t imagine being without him!  I enjoyed this film a lot.  It felt like something that could actually happen in real life and was nice to see how much everyone was able to learn about work – and life – from this “old” man!
