Review of The Internship (2013) by Ahmed B — 01 Dec 2013

Watching The Internship was like watching Heavy Weights and an unfunny version of Old School smothered by a Google commercial. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson continue with their comedy shtick that has worked so many times in the past, unfortunately for The Internship... it might be losing it's steam. The movie was slow, boring, not funny, and covered in Google. I absolutely get that this is a movie about two guys trying to get jobs in the new age tech era, with their old school business sales attitudes but holy Google. It felt more like a great Google commercial than a comedy movie.

I love the Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson dynamic most of the time. It has worked before and they have both pulled off great comedies separately, but this was just not a fun or funny movie. I don't recall having an honest laugh, maybe some chuckles but nothing that caught me off guard.
