"The Internship" is a comedy film directed by Shawn Levy and written by Vince Vaughn and Jared Stern. It tells the story of salesmen, Billy McMahon and Nick Campbell, who seek employment after being laid off from their positions. So Billy applies for an internship at Google for the two of them, and they are accepted due to their unorthodox interview answers, despite a lack of relevant experience. They will spend the summer competing in teams against other interns in a variety of tasks, and only the members of the winning team will be guaranteed jobs with Google. Will Billy and Nick cope with it?

Shawn Levy is known as the director of "The Pink Panther", "Night at the Museum" and "Real Steel". Therefore it isn't surprising that "The Internship" also turned out a successful one. Good jokes, magnetic characters, bright pictures. The main location of the film is the Googleplex, the real-life headquarters of Google in Mountain View, California, while many scenes were filmed in Atlanta, GA, at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Yes, this film can be more interesting for people who is keen on information technology, but if you aren't, it would not be out of place as well.

The characters of Owen Wilson (Midnight in Paris) and Vince Vaughn perfectly supplement each other. I mean Billy and Nick are always positive, they look on the bright side of things. And even if affairs go backward, they will support each other.

Max Minghella as Graham Hawtrey is annoying, selfish and vain. He irritates the main characters during all the tasks. In my opinion, Max handled his role very well. Tiya Sircar as Neha Patel showed us a girl who is enthusiast of nerd-related kink. But she has a secret which can make you change mind. Dylan O'Brien as Stuart Twombly turned out a guy who is engrossed in his smart phone. He's witty and a person on his own. However, is Stuart so in fact or he just pretends to be cold? Tobit Raphael as Yo-Yo Santos always does what his mother say. She strongly homeschooled him this way he doesn't have his own opinion. Josh Brener as Lyle Spaulding constantly tries to act hip in order to hide his insecurities. The way I see the work of actors I'm able to say that everyone have copes with their roles perfectly well. Maybe I overstate but I believed each of them.


Advantages
  • The interesting plot
  • Owen Wilson as Nick Campbell
  • Dylan O'Brien as Stuart Twombly

Disadvantages
  • Just an other comedy

"Strangenesses"
  • It's never too late to start

Clue Moments
  • Winning
  • Losing


We live at the time of process improvement. So it's possible to say that emotions and feelings are more and more exchanging for computing and reckoning. On the one hand, it develops mankind without doubt. But on the other is it good when people forget that they are not machines, they have feelings. And feelings are something more than smileys in the massages. Each of us is a biopsychosocial being and emotions are a part of our lives that can't be exclude.

All characters have their own weaknesses. Uncertainty, lack of experience, timidity. But characters are working against them during the film. Perhaps you will do the same? If you have disadvantages, it doesn't mean that you will always have them. Just work on yourself. Yes, it can take some time, however it's something to get your teeth into. Believe.

And I want to say some words about dreams and aims. A true dream will be put into effect anyway. It directs, encourages and inspires you. So one day you will reach a goal if you want it very much. And even your age won't prevent you.

Quotations
* * *
Billy McMahon: No, we can't talk about it later. The future doesn't know later.
Nick Campbell: All the future is, is later. That's literally what the future is. It's later. What are you talking about?
* * *
Billy McMahon: Great big world out there, my friend. Just three inches up, I beg you.
* * *
Billy McMahon: For you this is like teaching a little kid the alphabet, right?
Headphones: No, actually it's like teaching a kid a letter. Just one letter.
Billy McMahon: Yeah. Yeah, your strong point would not be communicating to humans.
Headphones: I know.
* * *
Billy McMahon: That being said, if you want something cold to drink, we'll hook you up.
Stuart: I'm ok, thank you. Just please, stop talking to me.
Billy McMahon: I'm your Bill Holden in Stalag 17.
Stuart: I don't even... I really don't get that reference.
Billy McMahon: Google it.
Stuart: Alright...
* * *
Billy McMahon: This reminds me of a little girl from a steel town who had the dream to dance. She had to strip down to nothing, she had to sit in that chair and arch her back and she reached up and pulled that chain to nowhere and doused herself with water!
Stuart: Flashdance? You're talking about the movie from the '80's?
Billy McMahon: You're right I am!
* * *
Nick Campbell: I might be detecting a bit of an accent.
Dana: You are?
Nick Campbell: Uh huh. I have a very good ear. English, right?
Nick Campbell: [with a mock British accent] 'Hello, Governor! Oliver Twist! More bread, please, sir!'
Dana: Australian, actually.
Nick Campbell: Really? Similar flags, though.
* * *
Stuart: Quick interjection: When you keep saying 'on the line,' you do mean online?
Nick Campbell: Stuart. Don't do that. You don't do that to a man. He's got a million-dollar idea right here.
Stuart: A billion-dollar idea?
Nick Campbell: Even better. Let him flow!
* * *
Nick Campbell: People want to work with people.
Nick and Billy's Boss: People hate people!
* * *
Nick Campbell: For whatever it's worth, your imagination is so wild, reality's gonna be a breeze, if not a letdown.
