I watched The Internship on my cross-Pacific flight. That’s the one by Vince Vaughan where he and Owen Wilson become interns at Google. Out of all the recent movies availble, that was the one that interested me the most because I wanted to see how accurate the portrayal of an internship would be.

I was kind of disappointed in that rather than being about interns it was more of a coming-of-age type movie first, then a huge product placement movie second. It seemed to show some of what being an intern at Google would be like (extrapolating from my intern experiences), as well as the Google campus, but I guess I was expecting too much for it to be a documentary about internships.

I would rate the movie 3 out of 5 stars. Even though I was not expecting too much, I still didn’t find it that funny or entertaining. I enjoyed the credits the most though as they integrated it into a bunch of Google products.
