IN BREVE:

SYNOPSIS:
Two salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital age find their way into a coveted internship at Google, where they must compete with a group of young, tech-savvy geniuses for a shot at employment.
Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation's most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention.
Commento critico (a cura di SCOTT FOUNDAS, www.variety.com)
âGoogle Crashersâ must have been the high-concept pitch for âThe Internship,â which reteams âWedding Crashersâ stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson for a round of markedly less ribald shenanigans, this time as two washed-up Willy Lomans trying to reinvent themselves as tech-sector whiz kids. âThe Social Networkâ it isnât â nor does it try to be â but this big-hearted underdog comedy from director Shawn Levy is, much like its two leads, exceedingly affable and good-natured despite being undeniably long in the tooth. Low-key pic faces its own generation-gap standoff at the summer box office, where it opens just five days ahead of the more buzzed-about hipster doomsday farce âThis Is the Endâ â a reminder that much has changed in American screen comedy in the eight years since âCrashersâ racked up a $200-million-plus domestic total.
Fittingly for a movie stuffed with â80s pop-culture references (including Vaughnâs frequent invocations of âFlashdanceâ |
as an inspirational touchstone), âThe Internshipâ often feels like a time-travel or body-switching comedy a la âBigâ and âPeggy Sue Got Married,â but where nothing supernatural is responsible for stranding Los Angeles watch salesmen Billy (Vaughn) and Nick (Wilson) in a world they no longer recognize.
Newly downsized (and, in Billyâs case, kicked to the curb by his fed-up girlfriend), the two best buds flounder for a while, with Nick taking a soul-crushing job selling mattresses for his sisterâs lecherous boyfriend (an uncredited Will Ferrell). Then Billy hits upon the idea that they should work for Google, no matter their collective lack of technological know-how and the fact that Google isnât actually hiring. But the search-engine giant is looking for candidates for a highly competitive summer internship program that guarantees a select number of staff positions to its highest achievers. So the boys enroll themselves in an online university (to qualify |
as students) and audition for the Google search committee â a very funny scene, staged as a videoconference, that makes a fine showcase for both actorsâ considerable improvisational gifts.
When they are improbably accepted into the program, itâs off to Silicon Valley and Googleâs corporate HQ, depicted as the happiest workplace on earth, complete with driverless cars, beach volleyball court, adult-sized tunnel slide and gratis employee cafeteria. (In the annals of product-placement cinema, no corporate giant has been so fully integrated into a movieâs very conception since FedEx and âCast Away.â) There, Billy and Nick arenât merely square pegs in round holes; theyâre like over-the-hill Gullivers stranded in a high-tech Lilliputia, the gangly Billy towering over the uniformly bookish, slope-shouldered interns, who in turn regard him and Nick as mental midgets recruited for diversityâs sake â none more so than Alpha-male a-hole Graham (Max Minghella). Used to being picked first for |
high-school sports, these jocks-out-of-water now find themselves in the reject pile, forced to work with a ragtag bunch of similar also-rans in a series of competitive team challenges designed to weed out the best and the brightest from the sea of âNooglers.â
Itâs fairly easy to see that, in picâs grand design, Billy and Nickâs apparent liabilities will turn out to be assets, their real-world life experience and people skills complementing the book smarts of their socially regressed colleagues. But âThe Internshipâ gets surprising mileage out of the premise, thanks to the infectious chemistry of Wilson and Vaughn and the gallery of equally fine comic performers who back them up, including a scene-stealing Aasif Mandvi (as the internship programâs whip-cracking leader), the lovely Rose Byrne (as the lovelorn staffer who catches the eye of longtime bachelor Nick) and newcomer Josh Brener as the barely pubescent manager assigned to Nick and Billyâs |
team.
Indeed, given how much âThe Internshipâ has going for it, itâs doubly disappointing when the movie sells itself short with dumb, unconvincing gags (including one that turns on pop-culture junkies Billy and Nick never having heard of âX-Menâ) and overextended setpieces, chiefly a long second-act foray into a San Francisco strip club that seems to have parachuted in from a different movie (and which may offend some of this otherwise family-friendly picâs potential audience). Few comedies can sustain a full two hours of screen time without at least partly overstaying their welcome â Levyâs 2010 âDate Nightâ clocked in at a lean 88 minutes â and there is almost surely a tighter, sharper, 100-minute version of âThe Internshipâ lurking somewhere in this current versionâs 119-minute frame.
Still, the picâs unwavering charm keeps it afloat. Levy, who cut his directorial teeth on Disney TV series before going on to steward the lucrative |
âNight at the Museumâ and âCheaper by the Dozenâ franchises, doesnât seem to have a cynical or mean-spirited bone in his filmmaking body, and thereâs something finally disarming about âThe Internshipâsâ boundless optimism, its belief in the possibility of starting over at 40, and its vision of Google as something like the worldâs biggest mom-and-pop business. Who knowâs if thatâs really the case â but hey, itâs only a movie.
Production designer Tom Meyer impressively re-creates Googleâs Mountain View, Calif., campus on the grounds of Georgia Tech, where it has been lensed in brightly lit and colored digital widescreen by Jonathan Brown. |
