The Intern-Teen Movie Review
The first day at a new can job can be challenging, especially for a 70 year-0ld man who’s been retired. Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) is a widower who worked for 40 years manufacturing phone books. He was always known as a dedicated and hard worker. However, after Ben’s retirement he felt he needed more in life; he wasn’t content with his leisurely lifestyle. Eventually, Ben got the opportunity to be a “senior intern” at an online fashion site, and his life dramatically changes. He becomes the younger co-workers role model, and develops a special bond with Jules (Anne Hatahway), the boss and founder of the company. The Intern is a funny and heartwarming, adult oriented, film.
