"The
Intern" stars Robert DiNero and Ann Hathaway in this charming film
written and directed by Nancy Myers. As with so many of her prior films,
Ms. Myers focuses upon the empowered woman of talent and achievement
and the problems faced by those in her gender. :Baby Boom",
:It’s Complicated" and "Something's Got to Give" are just a few examples
Although Ms. Hathaway does not yet equal the caliber or experience of a
Diane Keaton or Meryl Streep, she gives a convincing performance as a
successful woman in a man’s world. Mr. DiNero gives a warm and sensitive
performance as an intern hired by Ms. Hathaway’s firm who, but for his
age and retirement status, would be sought after as a vital addition to
any enterprise. The film touches upon and engages in many issues
including the value of senior citizens with experience versus their
younger counterparts and, as so many employers have been finding out,
offer a different and deeper dimension to the jobs they fill. I give the
film 3 stars and suggest that recent and former members of the work
force will appreciate the messages it sends,
