THE INTERNSHIP

The comedic partnership of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson is a successful one, but let's face it - they’re a one-trick pony. That one trick has earned them millions of dollars personally and at the box-office, as well as a legion of fans, imitators and the cheque-writing moniker of “box-office draw”. This is why their new venture ‘The Internship’ will be a success. But is it worthy of that accomplishment? Let’s call ‘The Internship’ what it really is - ‘Google Crashers’.

Billy (Vaughn) and Nick (Wilson) are master salesman, a dying artform, along with the company they work for. Desperate for work and eager to prove themselves as anything but nobodies and losers, Billy signs the pair up for internships at Google with the hopes that their time there will result in full-time jobs. After passing (barely) their interview via Skype, they’re inducted into the program as not only the underdogs with at least 20 years on every other contender, but with a severe lack of technical and computer knowledge, making them fish so far out of water they’re practically in the desert. When broken up into groups, Billy and Nick find themselves partnered with the “leftovers”, an oddball mix of fellow interns with a diverse range of social issues. The group is led by Lyle, the youngest team leader at Google. Set up for failure, and yet failure is not an option for this group, so the freak flags and gags are hoisted and set flying as they vie for the coveted jobs at Google.
