The Intern review:

Netizens have shared multiple reasons why they loved watching the film. A user said, “This is a really nice movie, and I mean that in a positive way. I was reminded how completely charming Anne Hathaway is, even if the premise had echoes of The Devil Wears Pravda. DeNiro is quiet and understated, so much so that you wonder if a Goodfellas moment is around the corner, but thankfully it's not. There could have been more about the other senior interns for something inside from comic relief, but otherwise a very watchable movie”.

Another added, "I really enjoy the movie The Intern. TBH I get a lot of inspiration from the character Robert Deniro plays. I know it may seem like a weird movie to recommend but it’s worth a watch”.

A fans said they loved the film but didn’t like a particular thing about the said. They wrote, “Watched this movie today.. #TheIntern .. It's a great movie to watch.. However I did not like the part where Jules forgives her cheater husband.. Divorce is ok but living with a cheater for rest of the life is not.. Once a cheater always a cheater”. Here's taking a quick look at a few The Intern review shared by audiences online:
