Critics Consensus: The Internship weighs down Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson's comic charisma with a formulaic script and padded running time that leans heavily on its stars' easygoing interplay.

Richard Propes

While the film never completely gels, it also never completely disappoints.

It's no Wedding Crashers.

If I had to describe The Internship in one word, my word was "tedious." I got pretty bored.

One reason the comedy lacks edge is that Google's role verges on product placement, as the ideology of 'Googliness'-an official Google mantra-is embedded in the movie's aspirational message.

Vaughn and Wilson's old, bouncy rapport is the only genuine thing in the film and it's testament to them that they can make the stench of this unbelievable, frankly sinister premise even slightly endearing.

Common Sense Says

Wilson, Vaughn reteam for goofy comedy with sex humor.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that The Internship follows two unemployed salesmen (Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn)-- who've made it to middle age without really accomplishing much of anything -- as they try to make it through Google's rigorous internship program. There's a fair amount of swearing (including "s--t," "p---y," and one "f--k"), and some scenes feature heavy drinking. One scene takes place in a strip club, where an extended joke involves a man ejaculating multiple times after getting lap dances. There's also a romantic subplot with some relatively tame innuendo and flirty banter. But the biggest love affair is between the filmmakers and Google, which is made to seem like the most wonderful place on Earth in this very obvious (and over-the-top) homage to the tech company.
