The Internship

Alright, if it is free I might as well go watch an Owen Wilson/Vince Vaughn comedy. Even though I hated The Wedding Crashers and normally don't get the funny in what they do.

So, I did not expect anything. This is probably the best possible mindset as it frees you to enjoy the few jokes that are actually funny.

The premise is stupid. Two salesmen get canned after their boss closes down the business without bothering to tell them. They have no skills (other than selling stuff) to speak of so one of them decides to make an application for an internship at Google that may or may not lead to an employment.

Because, see, the way they do that at Google is they split the interns into teams and give them challenges (like writing an App - most downloads win - or playing Quiddich) which will lead to one team winning and all their team members getting offered jobs.

I'm sure that is exactly what Google does.

Will Wilson/Vaughn be on the winning team?
Will whatever team win in the nick of time?
Will the kids get the Flashdance references?

Nailbiting. Totally.

4/10
