Movie Review: The Internship

Everything possible in this modern day era of glitz and glamour. With large corporations controlling pretty much everything it is not impossible to make people actually pay to watch a long winded advertisement. That is exactly what Google has achieved in this movie starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. This movie follows the familiar track of the duo in other movies. The glutton Vaughn and romantic Wilson both team up and conquer.

The movie starts off with the protagonists, two technology shy older watch salesmen losing their jobs because their employer decides to wrap up the business in face of increaseing digitilization. While Wilson goes to work for his brother-in-law selling mattresses, Vaughn gets the bright idea that they should try to break into the digital world by getting an internship in Google.

They land the internship with a narrow margin and move to Silicon Valley to start the internship. From here onwards the movie is nothing but a big advertisement about how awesome a workplace Google is, the facilities they provide, play rooms, free food, quiet areas, naptime, etc. etc.

A little bit of romance, frustration, and team work is thrown in to make the movie somewhat watchable. Bottomline is that Google suckered the audiences into parting with their hard earned money to watch an advertisement.
