The Internship (2013)

I heard that The Onion review of this movie called it the best movie of 2007.  A good movie that was just a little bit behind it's time.  Well, I am also a bit behind the times, because I really enjoyed it.

Here is the story--Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are sales representatives for a small company that goes belly up.  They sold watches and the market for watches started plummeting when the penetration of cell phones started rising--but they didn't see it coming.  The job market for men creeping into middle age without a college degree was pretty lean, so they get the idea they should enroll in a virtual university and try for an internship at Google reserved for college students.

They know absoulutely nothing about Google, computer programing, or the internet other than that they are consumers, but somehow they manage to land the internship and use their real world experiences to help their team be competitive for the prize of winning a permanent spot at Google.  The plot is nothing earth shattering, but the dialogue suits the main characters to a tee, and they are well versed enough in comedic timing to pull it off without breaking a sweat.  Pleasant movie, if perhaps a bit dated for the most savvy amongst us.
