The Intern

I thought that this movie seemed like it had been filmed by an amateur cameraman. It was hard to follow and I got very bored when trying to watch it. I bought a copy of the film in a sale a few days ago and from the cover it looked like a really good teen flick. A cross between "Clueless" and "She's All That"...it's nothing like them at all. I wouldn't bother wasting your time with this film, and judging by the number of posts on here, it doesn't look like many people have! For me this film was very disappointing and a complete waste of time and money.

A poorly made film made worse by the fact that so many of its jokes are so inside they will go over people's heads. Yes, I get the fashion jokes. It's not that I don't understand the setting. Instead, much of the humor feels like when someone just has to tell you about the funny thing that happened to them at work, the funny thing that is terribly unfunny once removed from the workplace.

I think Dominique Swain is generally better than the movies she gets stuck with, but even she is subpar in this film.

If you're fascinated by the fashion industry, it's worth checking out. Otherwise, stay away.

Oh, and it has Joan Rivers in it, too. Consider yourself warned.

All the ingredients for a fabulous movie are here: some interesting actors, some snappy dialogue, some stunning "fashion cameos," and some jokes at which only an insider could wince. Unfortunately, this movie is a fallen souffle. Is it a romantic comedy? Is it a series of over-the-top satiric vignettes? Is it a whodunit? Is it sincere? Is it blatantly corny? Yes, yes, yes. It never takes a consistent tone.

This is a very rapidly paced movie. The subtitles go by so fast they are only just readable. It is a name dropping spoof full of cameos that completely pass a novice like me. You have to have background to get this movie.

For me, the exaggeration is obvious. I just need so much more background to get this movie. I'd say the favorable reviews indicate what the target audience is.

Unfortunately, although I catch the spirit of the thing, and regret my lack of awareness, I could not persist all the way through this movie. I just felt left out, looking at what is probably a great movie for the in crowd.

i love Dominique Swain, really i do , but David Deblinger is a much more interesting charactor in this movie. it's not the 1st time. he was the most interesting charactor in "Kiss Me,Guido". Who couldn't resist a man who doesn't go by a name but a symbol and is referred to as just "the wack job?" What i don't get about Intern is, why is this girl an intern at a fashion magazine? she doesn't seem to be that into fashion. and the ending was the most prodictable thing EVER! joan rivers and kathy griffin were very annoying. if it wasn't for the few laughs i get from David and Ben Pullen, intern would be the biggest waste of film i have ever seen. it's not really comedy, and not really all that romantic. A very canned, easy-to-see coming romanced. if you want to see some good dominique, watch "girl." Wanna see a good romance, watch "funny face." Wanna see a good comedy, watch "ground hog day." wanna see all 3? don't go w/ this movie. ps- i know i can't spell, don't bother telling me, it won't change a damn thing!
