	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"Given the vacuity of the script, it must be admitted that Hathaway achieves something of a triumph (...) In the end, an overdose of blandness sinks this middling star vehicle"	NEU
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"'The Intern' is bizarrely retrograde, implying that every working woman only needs a cuddly Yoda daddy to make it in the world of business. It's soft in the heart - and soft in the head"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It's not much of a movie. But raging bull Robert De Niro, suited up to play for humor and heart, proves he can be a world-class charmer. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"A nice movie about nice people doing their best to be nice to each other despite one or two not-nice things that happen along the way. That’s all very nice, but not particularly the stuff of potent or rousing entertainment"	NEU
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"It takes all the leads' considerable combined charm to forestall the aftertaste of the pic's smug life lessons and near-comically blinkered worldview"	NEU
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"With some genuinely insightful dialogue, a number of truly funny bits (...) and small scenes allowing us to get know and like a half-dozen supporting players, 'The Intern' grows us on from scene to scene (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"Asking for sharper edges in a movie that can hardly find a person of color in New York City—let alone a pigeon or a poorly situated apartment—is probably futile"	NEU
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Mr. De Niro owns the movie from the moment he opens his mouth, and is staring into the camera and right at you."	NEU
United Kingdom	John Hazelton Screendaily	"As cosy and bland as it sometimes feels (...) The Intern eventually manages – with the help of admirably game performances from Robert DeNiro and Anne Hathaway – to find something worth saying about Millennial generation"	NEU
