The Intern (2015)

Wonderful offering from Writer-Director Nancy Meyers that is INDEED "The Feel Good Comedy of the Year!" Robert DeNiro plays Ben a 70-year-old retiree, struggling to enjoy his days alone. When he spots an ad for a "Senior Internship," working for a successful internet start-up, he relishes the opportunity.

After getting the internship, he is assigned to the head of the company, Jules Ostin, played rather nicely by Anne Hathaway. While Jules is not so quick to appreciate Ben - or the program in general - she eventually warms up to him and the idea. The two form a strong bond, and Jules comes to see Ben, not only as an asset, but a close and trustworthy friend.

Their bond is the crux of this movie and holds it together. There is an especially uncomfortable (at first) yet heartwarming scene, where Jules invites Ben to lay down in her bed late one night on a business trip. DeNiro is spot-on as his Ben keeps one foot on the floor with a priceless expression on his face. Yet, by the end of the scene, the two of them are even closer. There is nothing Romantic about this scene, it is more about the close bonds of friendship.

I won't reveal anymore other than to say the abrupt ending was very satisfying to me. See it, you won't be disappointed!
