Movie, The Intern

Last week, friends and I went to see the movie, the Intern. We were looking for a funny, light-hearted movie and it fit the bill. Anne Hathaway shined in this role. She plays, Jules Ostin, the overworked owner of an online women's clothing company. Robert De Niro plays her intern, Ben. He's a widower who is part of a senior's intern program. He just wants to help, but Jules can't quite seem to let him help her. So while he waits for a project from Jules he becomes indispensable to everyone from interns to assistants.

One day when he oversees her driver drinking on the job, he takes over as her driver. They build an unlikely friendship. Her company is going through growing pains with her financial partners urging her to hire a CEO. She struggles to find someone who has her vision. She also struggles to balance her husband and young daughter. Amid the chaos of her life, she finds out that her husband is having an affair. Her whole world is crashing down on her. Who helps her pick up the pieces, none other than her trusty intern, Ben.

This is definitely a feel-good movie. The only thing that darkened it's glow was an unneeded erection scene. Didn't really add anything of substance to the movie as a whole.
