Feel good movie time: "Intern" (2015) De Niro as a very nice guy (No Spoilers)

Tweet

Okay, this is a Nancy Myers film. She wrote and directed it along with other movies that some might find too "sweet," such as "The Holiday," "Something's Gotta Give," even "The Parent Trap." But, while there is no gritty reality in her films, I find them entertaining. We live in an era of gritty reality with international terrorism and it is a hot election year. It is good to escape for a couple of hours. Anyway, Robert De Niro plays a nice 70 year old widower and retiree from forty years as a telephone book executive. Anne Hathaway is a driven young woman who started and internet clothing site for women selling clothes that actually fit. Her site is so successful that it is nearly out of control, as is her marriage to her house husband and father of a very cute daughter. De Niro, bored in retirement, is brought on a "senior" intern who is keenly observant and wise. You just know that all will be well in this PG-13 movie.
