Quotes
[first lines]
Nick Campbell:
What the shit is this? Why is this on the get psyched mix?
Billy McMahon:
Because I gotta throw you a curve-ball every now and again, or you get bored, and the mix doesn't have its intended effect.
Nick Campbell:
No, I want to get rev'd up, and this song's not doing it.
Billy McMahon:
Oh, really? I defy you to crush this chorus and not get psyched.
Nick Campbell:
Not gonna happen.
Billy McMahon:
Don't ya think?

First off, like most of you, I loved Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson in Wedding Crashers and like most of you, I went into The Internship hoping for more of the same.
What I found was a very safe, very by the numbers 'under dog' story featuring two ageing salesman trying to start over in the tragically cool world of Google employment.
Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson are two veteran pitchmen who learn their current company has just gone out of business and, in a reality only Hollywood could create, there are no other sales jobs anywhere in the universe! We know this because Vince spends 3 minutes using Google (not Workopolis or Monster??) to find a new gig only to have a sudden and unexplained epiphany that the search engine he's using to find a job IS the job. Deep.
What follows is a stock plot about the seniors taking on a group of outcast geek interns and teaching them to party, keep it real and - this is new - there is more to life than computers.
The film, written by Vaughn, plays it very safe, heartwarming feel good lessons replace well, comedy.
On the positive side, if you want to learn A LOT about the hipster, self absorbed world of Google this film is for you. Nowhere is the mega company joked about, ridiculed, parodied or in anyway presented as anything other than the ideal final destination for everyone on the planet who wants to ride silly colored bicycles and waste their lives typing code.
Rent Dodgeball. A FUNNY Vaughn movie with the same plot.
