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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
