We came to the movie after work, loaded with our thoughts and problems, somewhat tense, and came out after the session satisfied, relaxed, and shining with a thousand suns. The movie definitely exceeded our expectations, and turned out to be just wonderful! I don't even know what exactly makes it so appealing, but watching it was a pleasure and lifted my spirits.
Looking at the poster at the representative De Niro, dressed in a strict suit with a tie, and young Hathaway, you can assume that the Intern is just a girl. But the plot is the opposite, and no matter how strange it may seem at first, everything looks very organic. The movie as a whole is extremely organic, in every detail, even though it's a comedy, and the characters often get into tricky situations. It is light as a white hat of a dandelion, but not stupid, - on the contrary, worldly wise, and even somewhat instructive. It is light, and despite the presence of a dramatic line in the plot (as in any life, everything is true), it is positive. It has a lot of unobtrusive, ironic, but subtle situational humor, which is unspeakably pleasing, and causes sincere laughter. Not once in the hall even sounded applause, which is generally rare in the movie.
The acting is excellent. De Niro in this role is simply irresistible:) What mimicry! How many expressions can be on one stern face!:) Often one look at his face was enough to laugh, while he never once crooked, and was absolutely natural and organic. He was simply a top-notch actor, including his face. To all fans of De Niro's talent this movie is a must-see:)
Anne Hathaway also played perfectly, and even on the background of the brilliant game of the maestro looked convincing, and on the level. Her heroine is creative, direct, businesslike, but somewhat disorganized, always in a hurry, but capable of inspiring actions, always looking for new ideas and ways to implement them, while missing her own life. In this role there was a big risk to overplay, to slip into grotesque, but Hathaway played perfectly, and in her heroine believe, and in her feelings, experiences, fears and hopes - too.
Summary. A wonderful movie, which gave us an autumn evening just a lot of pleasure, lifted our spirits, and charged with positivity. Of course, it will be more to the liking of the female audience, but men should not be particularly squeamish, there are no unnecessary sentiments and purely feminine things in this picture. We were very glad that we watched it, it is unequivocally recommended to watch it.
