The Internship have received mixed reviews from numerous viewers and critics alike for various reasons such as being a primarily a Google ad; unable to provide laughter; having clichéd and predictable screenplay; and many more. It never did well in the box office. Vince Vaugh commented that the studio interfering and making it a PG-13 film instead of an R-rated movie that excluded its crude and raunchy humor was a big factor to it. The DVD/Blu-Ray provided two versions of the film and evidently there is a big difference in terms of the number of times the F-word was made and the breast exposure it had.But one could not discount the fact that there were other reasons why it does not compare to the other Vince Vaugh and Owen Wilson starrer - The Wedding Crashers - to which the movie is often compared to.The film is about two salesmen who lost their jobs and decided for a career change in becoming Google interns despite having no knowledge in computers and computer programming. Their journey from becoming interns together with their team members and predictably their becoming Google employees at the end was the focus of the story.These includes the values they have exchanged from the old members to the young members and vice-versa as well as overcoming the challenges they have met into being Google interns. The screenplay was evidently clichéd as there was nothing new found in it.If I could criticize the film,it apparently somehow makes fun of the country's current economic misery such as middle-age professionals losing their job years before retirement and being prompted to change careers and young graduates who feel having a bleak future.Too bad that the film does not address these issues and it instead treats it like a laughing matter. The conclusion of having the leads - the two middle-age former salesmen and their young members - getting a job at Google while subtly ignoring the other 95% including the villain Graham and his fat member who happens to be a Harvard computer science graduate and has a 2390 SAT score who are all left jobless leave a sorry note to the film.It was criminal to see many Nooglers in celebration at the end when they realize not getting accepting employment as the pizza was being distributed.

It was a cool summers morning. The air was dry and the drinks were cold. I stumbled into the living room to find my brother bubbling with optimism for Vince Vaughan & Owen Wilson's latest comedy "The Internship". I decided to watch with him, as I had previously hugely enjoyed Wedding Crashers, the duo's previous effort. 90 minutes of tired jokes, shameless clichés and god awful product placement (Google is so fun!!), it seemed the season was suddenly an unforgiving winter. To be concise; NONE of the jokes hit home, the plot was incredibly predictable and every character was either face-meltingly boring or just unlikable. The villain is apparent through his first line of murky dialogue (and is, of course British ) and bendy nose's love interest is shoehorned in for filler bullshit.To conclude, while in no way was this were the performances in this film terrible, nor the direction or script; if you enjoy a retread of Wedding Crashers coated in faeces with 1/6 the laughs and Google as the protagonist, fair play to you. I just cannot remember a film which bored me more in my existence. Plus Will Ferrell's cameo does not hold a candle to the aforementioned Wedding Crashers. Hugely disappointing. 2/10

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson stars in another comedy that portrays successful salesmen that decided for a career change as computer programmers. Many of the scenes took place at the Google Headquarters at Mountain View, California.The movie presents two forty-something watch salesmen - Billy McMahon and Nick Campbell - based from Atlanta who lost their jobs after their company shut down.Billy convince Nick to try their luck at Google and apply as interns.After being barely convinced to be taken at a Google internship,the fun and excitement begins as both work their way into getting as Google employees as well as the adjustments they make into making their way with present employees of Google who apparently are mostly half their age and twice their IQ's. No question that Vaughn and Wilson try to recreate their success in Wedding Crashers while trying to spout a corporate message found on Google.Too bad that the movie isn't as successful considering that most of the jokes aren't as funny and one has to be familiar with computers to appreciate the jokes.Also,it is apparent that the movie turned basically into a two-hour advertisement for both Google and an IT career.What's worse is the fact that it makes fun and laugh at the the issues that the country is currently facing like many young Americans are worried and fearful about the future, a lot of professionals are into changing careers after they have been laid off from their companies as computers have taken over their jobs and that their jobs are being either offshored or outsourced elsewhere where cheap and inexpensive labor exists.It could have been more effective had the movie dealt with thess issues intelligently and provided hope for our current economic misery.Too bad that it doesn't and it basically relied on the comedic abilities of the leads which unfortunately aren't effective all the time.
