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.

2.5/4.0

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

If I had to describe The Internship in one word, my word was "tedious." I got pretty bored.

Worth the time it takes to load up HBO Max. I enjoyed the Duo of Owen & Vince along with the pretty cool cast surrounding them. It's not an Oscar performance however, you will find yourself rooting for them to win in the end. A great movie to watch heading to bed, needing a reset, or just want to watch some of your favorite actors do what they do best.

Terrible. Two main characters are highly annoying instead of the cheery, bubbly underdogs the movie tries to make them. They depend on others to do the work while they talk their heads off. Gives off desperate and loser way of saying, “Say random words and expect others to do my work”. Hate the characters, not the actors.

Just not impressed and probably because I detest Google, the left wing communists.

There is nothing wrong with a sap movie that boasts some cheesy comedic value, at least every now and then. It's a refreshingly unique movie, genuinely funny, and put simply...it's excellent.
