After old-school salesmen Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) 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.

One of my favorite movies not sure why rating so low. Good story in my opinion.

I can't believe all of these reviews I'm reading on the line. This movie was hilarious - whenever I sit down with my salsa, chips, pudding, sushi and ice cream to enjoy this movie, I laugh more and more each time.

I can see the direction there going with this film but the gags, humor, references and weak acting drag this whole movie down.

Even though it is a Google Ad it isn't a complete dissapointment. It's pretty cool to see the inside of the Google HQ! Vince and Owen compliment each other well whenever they are in movies together.

Good movie, will Ferrell is a pretty good mattress salesman in it. Not sure why the wife left at the start when he didn't have money and blamed him for being lazy when she didn't say what she did. Good movie to boost the google stock price though.

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

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]
