Director Shawn Levy’s The Intership is a
delightful summer comedy starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, who co-wrote
the screenplay with Jared Stern.
Playing basically the same characters as in Wedding
Crashers, Wilson and Vaughn are still trying to find their way to
survive, this time in the digital age, by joining the competition to get an
internship at Google. They, of course,
are put in the “loser group” where their worldly skills, eventually, prove of
value to their nerdy team members.
Rose Byrne, Aasif Mandvi, Josh Brener, Tiya Sircar and
Tobit Raphael add to the fun their performances with Cinematographer Jonathan
Brown and Production Designer Tom Meyer bringing out the bright world of the Disneylandish
Google campus.
The Intership has shades of the Revenge of the Nerds
franchise and Animal House and will appeal most to a Gen-Y and Millennial
audience. However, anyone who has had to
compete for jobs over the past decade should thoroughly enjoy it, as well.
I give The Intership a 4 out of 5 for the
fan base.
