The Internship (starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn) portrays two seasoned salesman who have lost their jobs due to the ever-changing economy and market that they are trying to sell their products in, which were a wide array of various consumer appliances. All they've really done in their lives is selling things, and the both of them together were very good at their craft. After losing their jobs, instead of settling with a less than ideal minimum wage job that has them just scraping by in life, they decide to go all out and do something noteworthy. In summary, they apply for the internship, despite not having any coding ability yet any technology skills at all, and manage to squeeze themselves in, and the rest is history.
The movie itself didn't seem to have the momentum other blockbusters had this year, but I highly recommend it. Not that it means much coming from me, it's very funny, ACTUALLY has a meaningful story, and you've got the underrated duo of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. What else could you ask for?
Now, what really strikes me about the movie is how this is based on Google. It gives really interesting insight into what the daily life of their employee's entails. It's also interesting getting a good look at the Google campus itself, (with even their glorious nap-pods and self-driving cars make cameo appearances).
Tried to keep this short and sweet. Simply a great movie, with a great story that delivers. Nothing cheesy at all, some really good scenes. Not trying to doll up the movie either. that's just how much I enjoyed it.
My apologies for not having much up for a few days, it's been a crazy week, and I know things aren't going to be much different in the coming days, so as always stay tuned and hopefully I'll have something new coming before the end of the week.
Stay Frosty Now, (that's what the preacher man said) - Nobody will probably get that reference.
