Matts Movie Review - The Internship (Unrated) - Well, after seeing bits and pieces of this twice in the last two weeks during lunch at work, I got the itch to fully watch this movie. So, first I tried my best friend, John Franciscos PLEX server, but it was down all week. So, I had to wait til I got home from my last week of the Central Illinois work shuffle trip and watched it on Thursday night. STORY - Billy McMahon (Vince Vaughn) and Nick Campbell (Owen Wilson) are two watch salesman who find out from one of their best customers (a very funny bit role by comedian/actor Gary Anthony Williams; Undercover Brother, The Boondocks) that their company went under (ie. the companys owner, played by the venerable John Goodman, declared bankruptcy with the company and bought a condo in Florida and new implants for his wife). So, after his girlfriend drops him, Billy has a notion of consciousness while searching online for a new job which brings him to compete for a job during an internship at Google. With a young team leader and a young team that wants nothing to do with Billy and Nick, can they turn things around to get their jobs that they want. REVIEW: Years after a hilarious team up with the great Wedding Crashers movie, director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum, Real Steel) reunited the great comic duo, and their great chemistry is still there. Add in some good young acting talent, a great bit part by the great Josh Gad (Frozen), this is an enjoyable comedy with a few downright evil moments (see Rob Riggle and Will Farrells cameos....especially Riggle. Rob....thats WRONG man, just wrong). To me, when I saw Levy directing, I was more open to give this a chance, and I definitely enjoyed myself while watching it (though it did get a bit sluggish in the middle). Its definitely worth the rental or watch the rated version on Cinemax (or MaxGO). Recommended.
