After old-school salesmen Billy and Nick find themselves downsized, Billy decides that, despite their complete lack of technological savvy, they should work for Google. The friends somehow manage to finagle internships at the Internet giant and promptly head out to Silicon Valley. Viewed with disdain by most of their fellow interns, Billy and Nick join forces with the rest of the misfit "nooglers" to make it through a series of competitive team challenges.

Critics Consensus

The Internship weighs down Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson's comic charisma with a formulaic script and padded running time that leans heavily on its stars' easygoing interplay.

You don't need a heart to like this movie. You need an MBA.

1.5/4

Similar to Eddie Murphy's hard right turn from daring and profane comedy to family-friendly romps, Vaughn and Wilson have gone all soft and gooey here.

A laboured, mawkish plug for Google.

... The confluence of its qualities can't elevate The Internship enough to separate itself from its toxic and corrosive surface. [Full review in Spanish]

While the film never completely gels, it also never completely disappoints.

neither the best nor the most entertaining movie, but most definitely one of the best google ads i’ve ever seen!! loved how they partnered with a big company to promote it in such a clever way. it’s a comedy, so nothing was extremely deep or important, and overall it was good to enjoy some time in from of the screen and just remember simpler times a decade ago!!! a dream internship, that’s for sure, but in the end it was a movie for technological nerds, with two comedic big names on the front and an ensemble of hot tweens!!!

Don't pay any attention to the negative reviews here! This film is an excellent comedy and delivers everything it promised. Although it's essentially a Google product placement, it offers much more than just a profound message The film depicts interactions between elderly people who are out of touch with technology and teenagers with little life experience, all seasoned with plenty of comedy regarding how both sides adapt. It's an excellent comedy film, and a slightly cheesy romance, perfect for watching multiple times with family, your girlfriend or boyfriend, and friends. 10 out of 10.

Con todo el perdón que se merece Owen Wilson, porque es de mis actores favoritos desde niña. Pero ésta es de sus peores películas, de verdad tenía expectativas altas, pero la trama es muy tediosa. No la recomendaría. Ni siquiera cumple su objetivo de entretener.
