Screen Daily
When the film gets more serious it produces some affecting moments between the two leads. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Hathaway’s take on the underwritten Jules is refreshingly unshowy, but De Niro seems a little lost. - 67
Hitfix
Meyers wants this to be all sort of amiable and charming and a big warm bath of a film, and it is. - 60
TheWrap
The Internship delivers what it promises, no more and no less, and faulting it for not being a rougher, tougher, smarter film about how much we all seem to live our lives through our work today would be like yelling at a spoon for not being a knife. - 58
The Playlist
In its portrait of a strong, independent woman learning to embrace her own ambition, desires, and future via the aid of an older male mentor-cum-father-figure, it colors its triumphant fantasy of female empowerment in a distinctly conservative, paternalistic shade. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Given the vacuity of the script, it must be admitted that Hathaway achieves something of a triumph. She’s always engaging and keeps the character on a human rather than superhuman scale. - 50
Movie Nation
There’s no edge to any character in the movie. - 40
Variety
It takes all the leads’ considerable combined charm to forestall the aftertaste of the pic’s smug life lessons and near-comically blinkered worldview.
