For our date night, Ben and I decided to head to the cinema and watch The Internship. I wanted to see it as the trailer made me chuckle plus since I've started watching Teen Wolf I have a not so secret love for Dylan O'Brien! Luckily Ben also wanted to see it as he is currently doing an internship for a similar company to Google which is the main focus for the film.
What's right? - Besides Dylan O'Brien on top sarcastic form, the film's portrayal of technology illiterate adults makes for some entertaining scenes. It reminded me of the countless times that my parents have been confused by new technology making Vaughn and Wilson's characters quite endearing. The Quidditch scene for me was one of the best parts of the film purely for the fact it satisfied the inner Harry Potter nerd in me like I'm sure it did for countless others. Generally, the film appealed to my slightly nerdy side as it followed the team of interns complete their challenges.
What's wrong? - The film has a somewhat predictable plot, I guessed pretty early on that the "villain" would get his comeuppance in the end but that didn't really effect my viewing of the film. The only other disappointment is that this film has followed the trend and cast a British actor as the villain as many American movies seem to do - us Brits aren't all evil!
Overall, The Internship is not a serious award winning production but does what it says on the tin. It's an easy to watch, fun, lighthearted film that produces laughs. I'd recommend it purely for the chance to glimpse inside Google HQ!
Really want to watch this movie, seen the trailer too many times xx
