The Intern crafts an adorable story of the circle of life. 'Old timer' Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) jumps back into the workforce after retirement, but finds himself learning, and teaching, new tricks to his boss, Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway). The two cinematic icons share a delightful dynamic. Their comedy doesn't always land, but the newfound relationship creates a charming exploration of age. Though it sprinkles in some unnecessary romantic issues, the story's focus doesn't waver for long. The Intern is a thoroughly enjoyable, lighthearted film, which understands what it is and what it has to be.
