Feeling Lucky with The Internship.

Ever since Russovoir arrived in America, he thought his dream job of being a screenwriter for Hollywood is one step closer; that slowly, and while thickened by experience and inspiration by then, he will be handed a career opportunity among the stars; the luminosity of the deserving stars on which his pieces are the bright sources. But lately, life has managed to scorch that match head dream. Most flammable is that hope that which burns of passion and determination or hopelessness and complaisance, he's unsure now.

What The Internship did was burning a little longer the hope of passion and determination. Russovoir doesn't know how and when to get there, but one thing is inevitable, and the film unsolicitedly confirmed it almost obviously, and while divine intervention still plays a major role, Russovoir needs human intervention.

"You taught us how to be a team."

The film's humor is, Russovoir quotes Neha (Tiya Sircar), the smart and fun intern, "...all talk but nothing make sense." And the appearance of Will Ferrel was unnecessary and overwhelmingly off. The first twenty minutes, or until the first Google challenge, was a shut down. The chemistry between Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson was mirthless; Russovoir found himself in a lag and if it doesn't get any better, he swore to leave. But it did. Thank Google it did.

Sure enough, expected from its trailer, The Internship is an exclusive sneak peek of Google's headquarters, its employees and their enviable privileges, and how it's both grueling and fulfilling to be part of the team. And just like what the film tries to convey, which was inspiring, the film ultimately was good, safely decent, due to the performance efforts of Max Minghella, Dylan O'Brien, and Josh Brener. Although while Vaughn and Wilson's moments pull one down, these young stars pull one up with their antics and awkward personae (now that's funny); a tug of war of mood; the birth of the 'meh' hand gesture.
