Our take on The Intern

Nancy Meyers builds this 2015 comedy around a simple, warm premise: Ben, a seventy-year-old widower, finds retirement hollow and signs on as a senior intern at a booming online fashion company run by young founder Jules Ostin. What follows is a gentle workplace story about generations learning from each other, filtered through Meyers's signature interest in polished interiors and grown-up feelings. There are no big twists here, just easy charm, sharp banter, and a genuine curiosity about how ambition and experience fit together. It suits viewers who want something reassuring and adult rather than frantic, and anyone drawn to comedies about second acts, mentorship, and finding your footing again.
