Full text transcript of The Internship film critique

Google commercials now in the hour and a half comedy format.

The internship, so the internship is a comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. They are salesmen and they sell you shit in person in a world where everything is sold online. So now that they’re obsolete, they lose their jobs. They’ve got nothing else to do. So they’re like, well, hey, we’ll be interns at Google. Maybe that’ll lead to a job. It’ll certainly lead to a comedy, I’ll tell you that, which is primarily funded by the largest company ever, the company that will soon create Skynet. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are good in this movie. They play the characters that Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson usually play in comedies. But in this movie, it really works. Vince Vaughn’s really fast talking and that works for a salesman. After that, of course, the movie’s going to be cliche. Everyone competing for this internship job, they’ll break up into groups. Of course, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson’s team. They’re all going to be the Misfits, everybody, not just them. You know, they’re the long shots. They’re the underdogs, the ones we have to root for. And then among all the teams, you’re really ever going to see one other team, and that’s the assholes. Now, we have our competition.

Now we have our comedy. It’s like the full-length feature version of the academic decathlon and Billy Madison or as Vince Vaughn says, it’s a mental hunger games with a bunch of geniuses. At a point in this movie where these two guys are struggling so much to fit into this group, you’re like, how did we get here? How did this happen so believable? Not exactly. I do like the fact that the movie touches on a relevant concept. And that is, yeah, we’re in a digital age, but human interaction that is still important for success. If you’re good at computers and all that shit, don’t count out someone who’s just good at being personable. That person might just go far in the world. Likability is a really powerful thing. One would say it’s very important in a world of douchebags. Owen Wilson has to go after Rose Byrne because the formula says someone has to have a romantic interest in this movie. Also this, though I was surprised Rose Burns in this movie. I should be like, oh, yeah, hot chick. But I got to admit, another chick in this movie caught my eye. She was cute. Who is she? No idea. I’d like to see her in more stuff.

The movie has laughs, gags, touching moment. Is it groundbreaking? No, it’s a pretty predictable formula. It doesn’t change the fact that I had fun with the movie The Internship. I didn’t walk out of this movie saying I need to own it. But I did walk out saying it was a good time, no alcohol required. I also call bullshit on the whole Google help line. One of the challenges is, oh, you got to be personable on the phone when people call Google Helpline for help. I’ve never found a Google helpline. I do YouTube videos. I should know if a Google helpline exists. I don’t think it does. So that’s just bullshit. Why doesn’t it exist? Because Google helpline people would hear one thing only at this point, the YouTube layout. Could you just go out and change that back? Hey, the YouTube layout. I just don’t like it. Yeah, that YouTube layout really sucks on YouTube. Oh, my God. So in terms of comedies this year, what’s your favorite comedy so far? Whatever it is, comment below. Let me know.
