The Intern / Reviews
The Guardian
A morass of wackiness, a chain of sequences shot in a flat and predictable manner that range from tedious to idiotic.

Los Angeles Times
A better, funnier and more considered movie than much of what passes for nonfranchise studio filmmaking, even as it shows a world almost exclusively white, straight and upmarket.

Hollywood Reporter
The movie offers more frustrations than rewards to discerning viewers of any age or gender.

Herald Sun
A sugar-sweet, wafer-thin comedy hoping to inspire many hugs across the generation gap.

FilmInk
Capitalises on the believable chemistry between Hathaway and De Niro to produce a rom com that is genuinely satisfying.

Empire Magazine
As you'd expect, Meyers handles the material with assurance and charm, and there's fun to be had in the odd-couple dynamic at her film's heart.
