THE INTERNSHIP (MOVIE REVIEW)
Sorry but I just couldn't resist putting the title in just one colour. I mean, it is a movie basically advertising the largest company in the world.
The Internship follows the story of two salesmen, Billy McMahon (Vince Vaughn) and Nick Campbell (Owen Wilson) whom have lost their jobs due to everyone beginning to start buying online. Because of this, this forces the two to attempt and try and find different occupations. During this search however, Billy manages to schedule the two in for a shot at an internship at the largest company in the world, Google. Now at the final stop in their search, the two must now try to overcome the odds and land a job at a company where everything is new and different to the two. Now for the most part, the plot of this movie has been said a million times. They become the underdogs, no one believes in them and...spoiler, they manage to land the job. Honestly, if you really thought they wouldn't, you obviously haven't seen a movie in your life. I can't really bad mouth the formula because as the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And here, that quote is more than acceptable.
As for the acting presented in the film, I really don't know what to say. It is normal, generally acceptable acting in a movie like this. Owen Wilson plays any Owen Wilson character, Vince Vaughn plays any Vince Vaughn character. To be completely honest, you have seen this exact same story at least 5 times in 5 separate movies. The only thing that is different about this movie is that it is basically an advertisement for Google. And to be fair, if Google asked me to advertise for them, I would. No matter how much money they paid. Anyway, for the most part, the acting I cannot judge because it is just neutral in my eyes.
To sum up, The Internship is one of those movies that comes out every year that has the same formula as one another. Two friends are in trouble, two agree on one thing, one of the two get interested in a woman, they fight for a little bit, looks like they aren't going to do it, something happens, everything is happy again. And to be honest, I'm getting a little sick of this but to be fair, don't fix something that ain't broken.
RATING: 6.4/10
