What kind of watch this is
Nancy Meyers directs a 121-minute comedy about a widower who finds retirement dull and joins a startup. The premise is simple, but the execution leans on the chemistry between Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. It treats the age gap not as a conflict to resolve, but as a mutual adjustment. The film moves at the pace of a long lunch, relying on dry observation rather than loud jokes. It is a gentle look at how two very different people find common ground in a modern office. The tagline promises experience never gets old, and the movie keeps that promise with a quiet, steady hand.
What the critics said
Critics were polite but hesitant. Rotten Tomatoes reports 59% positive reviews as of January 2026, with an average score of 5.7 out of 10. Metacritic lands on 51 out of 100, a mid-range score that signals mixed reception. The consensus notes the film benefits from the leads' chemistry, even if the premise feels underexploited. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times called it "genuinely insightful," while Manohla Dargis of The New York Times found it "generally pretty irresistible." Some critics questioned the gender dynamics of the script, a debate that extends beyond the film’s plot.
How it did with audiences
The Intern cost $35 million to make and grossed $197.1 million worldwide. In the business of turning a small budget into a larger one, that is a solid return. On TMDB, users rate it 7.2 out of 10. It opened alongside a bigger animated sequel, landing in second place for the weekend. The numbers suggest audiences were happy to trade in a monster for a grandfather.
What came next for the cast
Anne Hathaway moved from Interstellar and The Dark Knight Rises into Ocean's Eight and Alice Through the Looking Glass. Robert De Niro followed The Godfather Part II and GoodFellas with Joker, The Irishman, and Dirty Grandpa. Rene Russo stepped out of the Thor franchise into Avengers: Endgame. Anders Holm left Neighbors and The Interview for How to Be Single and Game Over, Man!. The credits list what came next. They do not list why.
