The film peaks with the comedic email heist sequence that had audiences laughing, then drops significantly during the more conventional final act business trip.
The Intern starts strong with De Niro's charming performance and the developing mentor-mentee relationship, peaks during the middle comedic sequences, but loses momentum in the final act. Critics consistently praised the lead performances and chemistry while finding the ending disappointingly conventional and unresolved.
