Intern Movie

Intern movie has been on my “Must See” list for the last several months.  Unfortunately, it took me some time, but this past weekend, my Husband and I had the opportunity to finally see this movie.

Intern Movie

This movie was set in a brownstone in New York.    With my passion for fashion, this movie had me hooked from the beginning.  Jules Ostin (played by Anne Hathaway) is the frazzled compulsive Founder of an expanding Fashion e-commerce site called About the Fit.  I loved Jule’s character as she started this business at her kitchen table over a glass of wine and an iPad.  Jule’s is trying to keep everything together by operating every position in her Company but the Investor’s are getting antsy.  An Intern program begins at the Company and enter Ben Whittaker, played by Robert De Niro.  Ben shakes up his life by becoming an Intern where he quickly becomes indispensable.

Initially Jule’s doesn’t utilize Ben’s skills.  A messy desk that Ben organized and that begins the start of a friendship between Jules and Ben.  Ben is a gentle, kind older figure coming equipped with beautiful suits, shirt and tie and a handkerchief.  With Ben’s insight he is able to share his wisdom and experience.  Jules begins to relax more around Ben and gets him more involved in the day-to-day operations.  As Ben becomes more and more important, Jules is able to relax her standards.  Throughout the movie there is an underlying theme of bringing in a CEO to structure the business.  As Jules meets potential CEO Candidates and her friendship blossoms with Ben, she begins to question things in her personal and professional life.  Throughout the movie, the one thing that resonates with me was Jules is a good person.   Jules wrestles with some personal and professional demons, however overcomes them through Ben’s guidance and friendship.

Review

What I loved most about this movie was the beautiful friendship by these two characters.  While big pressures collide in the business world, maintaining one’s heart was the overall message from this move.  The Intern is a must see for not only fashion lovers, but male and females of any age.  My Husband enjoyed this movie as much as I did.  The Intern is a feel good movie with the message that you can still hold onto your morals and values but succeed in the process.

Have you seen The Intern movie?  Share with me your thoughts about this feel good movie and hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.  This is a movie I plan to keep and will see again in the near future.
