The Intern

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.

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.

For anyone who has been in the fashion, modeling, beauty magazine or cosmetic industry. You have to watch it after a bad day in the office. You will love this movie. It might be sterotypical but you'll see how true it is.

For all you interns out there, my heart bleeds for you, but there is a silver lining to it all in the long run.

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.
