'The Intern', an American comedy film that has a two-hour footrace between emotion-yanking charm and absolute predictability, has film stars Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway playing for its lead roles with supporting performances from the American actress and producer - Rene Russo, Adam DeVine (star and creator of the Comedy Central series Workaholics), Nat Wolff, Christina Scherer, American actor and comedy writer - Anders Holm, and Zack Pearlman (best known for his role as Zack in The Virginity Hit).
The Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actor - Robert De Niro portrays the role of Ben Whittaker, a retired widower, who went on board a senior internship program at a hip Brooklyn e-commerce firm, to fill the emptiness in his golden years. Robert De Niro as Ben Whittaker, is assigned to Anne Hathaway playing Jules Ostin, the owner, founder and workaholic leader of the Brooklyn e-commerce company.
The setup of The Intern film has Ben Whittaker (De Niro) and his charming, old-school ways eventually softening Jules Ostin's (Hathaway) solid corporate exterior and making Jules a better person.
The Intern is the latest flick of the American film director, producer and screenwriter - Nancy Meyers, who also helmed the 2000 American romantic comedy film 'What Women Want' and 'The Holiday.' The Intern is similar to those films, where it explores the male-female dynamic in the workplace and the capability of women in the place of employment.
The second half of the movie gets way better, as the film's modest twists and turns, director Nancy Meyers gets passed over the level of her characters and the director digs into the content of her story.
On Sunday, September 27, the Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro brought 'The Intern' to London, as they attended it's premiere, held at Vue West End in London, England.
