After old-school salesmen Billy and Nick find themselves downsized, Billy decides that, despite their complete lack of technological savvy, they should work for Google. The friends somehow manage to finagle internships at the Internet giant and promptly head out to Silicon Valley. Viewed with disdain by most of their fellow interns, Billy and Nick join forces with the rest of the misfit "nooglers" to make it through a series of competitive team challenges.

Critics Consensus

The Internship weighs down Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson's comic charisma with a formulaic script and padded running time that leans heavily on its stars' easygoing interplay.

You don't need a heart to like this movie. You need an MBA.

1.5/4

Similar to Eddie Murphy's hard right turn from daring and profane comedy to family-friendly romps, Vaughn and Wilson have gone all soft and gooey here.

A laboured, mawkish plug for Google.

... The confluence of its qualities can't elevate The Internship enough to separate itself from its toxic and corrosive surface. [Full review in Spanish]

While the film never completely gels, it also never completely disappoints.

Probably a realistic depiction of what it's like to intern at Google. My professor used to intern there in '07 and he would fit right in on the squad! Watch with an open mind. You just gotta put the coffee in the pot. Owen Wilson has such a way of words in this film too. Wow! His best performance since "Cars 2" two years prior. Kachow! Shows you that no matter how down bad you are, you can always bounce back and PULL. Also a great lesson here: treat everyone with respect, especially in corporate, because you never know who is going to position-mog you.

Nice feel good movie! The main characters are ones who you want to root for:) two men with zero technical experience, but all the life experience one could ask for. The dynamic between the character is truly heart warming with a refreshing side of humor. 3.5 stars!

neither the best nor the most entertaining movie, but most definitely one of the best google ads i’ve ever seen!! loved how they partnered with a big company to promote it in such a clever way. it’s a comedy, so nothing was extremely deep or important, and overall it was good to enjoy some time in from of the screen and just remember simpler times a decade ago!!! a dream internship, that’s for sure, but in the end it was a movie for technological nerds, with two comedic big names on the front and an ensemble of hot tweens!!!

Don't pay any attention to the negative reviews here! This film is an excellent comedy and delivers everything it promised. Although it's essentially a Google product placement, it offers much more than just a profound message The film depicts interactions between elderly people who are out of touch with technology and teenagers with little life experience, all seasoned with plenty of comedy regarding how both sides adapt. It's an excellent comedy film, and a slightly cheesy romance, perfect for watching multiple times with family, your girlfriend or boyfriend, and friends. 10 out of 10.
