This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes clock in with "The Intern" (2015), Nancy Meyers’ feel-good comedy starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway.
Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this one. Yes, it’s sweet, uplifting, and maybe a little too saccharin at times, but it delivers exactly the warm, comforting tone it’s aiming for. De Niro and Hathaway have fantastic chemistry, and the film’s steady, upbeat vibe makes it one of the more genuinely pleasant modern studio comedies.
The Mikes do take issue with a stretch of drama that arrives about halfway through the movie. It feels forced, a little too Hollywood, and somewhat undercuts the strength of Hathaway’s character by the time the film wraps up. But, "The Intern" is an uplifting film about mentorship, connection, and finding purpose at any age, so it’s easy to forgive the missteps.
Overall, it’s an easy watch, a charming film, and a reminder that sometimes “feel-good” doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
