Trivia

In one scene, Robert De Niro's character is confused as to who Jay Z is. This is an in-joke about the beef Robert De Niro and Jay-Z have had since 2012. See more »

Goofs

In the 3rd act, the funeral for Sam Newman is a Fairhill, where none of the mourners or the staff are wearing kippot, a must for a Jewish funeral. And since a Jewish funeral would never be held on Shabbat (Sabbath), Fiona shouldn't be referring to the post-service meal as a "shiva", which is the first seven days of the Jewish mourning ritual.

Quotes

Jules: Who said that, you?
Ben: Yeah. But I'm pretty sure Mark Twain said it first.

Excellent.
24 September 2015 | by See all my reviews

I saw the trailer for 'The Intern' sometime ago, advertised before 'Spy (2015)'. I liked the premise and the two lead actors, so today (the premiere in Romania) I had to watch it.

I expected a fun, neat comedy but what I experienced was so much more: a great plot, brilliantly executed and acted. The jokes and fun parts were on point, and the world the movie created felt very authentic, immersive and a joy to watch on the big screen - this was helped by amazing costuming and cinematography.

The entire cast had very strong chemistry between them, and both Hathaway and De Niro were wonderful.

Overall an awesome, heartwarming movie. I walked out of the movie theater with a smile.
