THE INTERN Starring Robert DeNiro & Anne Hathaway-Chick Flick Fun

It doesn't take an Ivy league grad to figure out what's in store in Nancy Meyers' THE INTERN featuring Oscar winners Anne Hathaway & Robert DeNiro.  Hathaway (Jules) is a wife & mother of a precocious but adorable daughter, Paige, who builds an internet clothing line business sensation from home.  The stay at home dad, played with nauseating mamby pamby duplicity, steps up & stays home but surprisingly (or not) strays.  DeNiro (Ben) is a 70 yr old retired widower who is tired of being retired & tried all there is to try and wants more than his solitary, provincial life.  He finds an ad for a senior internship where Jules is the cool (if not always collected) CEO who may or may not be in over her head.  Cooler heads prevail and try as you might, you can't help but soak up the goodwill Ben brings to everyone & everything he does.  (Well, maybe not as far as Golden Globe/Tony winning actress Linda Lavin is concerned.)  She proves there are no small parts and her albeit brief screen time is priceless.  The generational divide, working mommy fission (is that fictional?) and beaten to death theme of can a woman have it all (makes me want to puke) are basic plot points.  But, built upon such adroit casting, sit back & enjoy this guilty pleasure geared to a feminine demographic.  On a dreary, rainy day, don't confine yourself to your apartment.  Take your BFF to this slick chick flick.  Girls we just want to have fun.
