The relevancy I'm talking about is the current age where people of an older demographic are having difficultly finding jobs with the recent onslaught of technology and the rather quick, uncomfortable hustle of the digital age. However, when the film recognizes that it's material is relevant and relatable to an older public is when the film becomes more of a moderately-successful venture than a mediocre comedy. The film is by no stretch great and often becomes too obsessed with crude humor and directionless crassness. It's too bad that many audience members saw the stupidity and judged the film entirely on that, rather than listening to what the film actually had to say. Everything there is lush and affluent and golden-hued, and Isabel is a famous scientist who’s created a cutting-edge simulation of a down-and-out world to help people appreciate their good fortunes, rather than a woman living under a freeway overpass.The Internship is a fairly smart movie disguised as a stupid one.
What initially feels like two addicts forming a fast connection takes a sci-fi twist when Isabel whips out her “yellows,” jewel-like pills that imbue whoever consumes them with the ability to manipulate reality - or “reality,” as the case may be, since Isabel is convinced that everything in her midst, aside from her and Greg and a few others, is actually an intricate simulation.īliss makes you question your own eyes from the beginning Isabel might be talking nonsense, but then how is she able to make lights blip out and drink trays fall by just flicking her fingers? If Greg’s not living in a simulation, then how come his dream-world drawings feature a woman who looks eerily like Isabel? Things get blurrier when Isabel introduces an even more potent drug that causes the user to awaken in a world ripped straight out of Greg’s imagination. Greg’s tenuous existence begins to slip even more when he meets Isabel (a magnetic, occasionally ferocious Salma Hayek), a woman living on the city’s fringes (“I’m not homeless, I’m just off the grid”) who almost immediately sucks him into her freewheeling existence.
