“THE INTERNSHIP” Movie Review. Sit Up, Chum, There’s a Whole Lot More Going.

“THE INTERNSHIP” PRESS PREVIEW

Don’t expect this movie to kick off with a big wham bang.

It does not, but it survives its welcome, nonetheless.

 ”THE INTERNSHIP” is an entertaining, goofy piece of gem that might well warm your heart amid uplifting your spirit after a hard day’s grind.

There’s a lot more going if you are prepared to dig deeper.

So go for it.

OWEN WILSON and VINCE VAUGHN happily make a come-back with this bromance comedy, after almost a decade since their last sex ribbing farce “Wedding Crashers.”

Directed by Shawn Levy and co-written by Vince Vaughn and Jared Stern, “THE INTERNSHIP” features Vaughn and Owen Wilson as Billy and Nick, two irritating fast talking watch salesmen who are laid off when their company closes.

Whilst googling  for job possibilities, Billy discovers the Google has plans for a summer internship program.

And after passing the required-webcam interview, the duo find themselves at Google HQ in Palo Alto, competing against dozens of teenage tech-savvy geniuses.

The middle aged pair found themselves caught in a pandemonic team headed by nerdy leader Lyle (Josh Bremer) alongside brainy outsiders Stuart (Dylan O’Brien), Neha (Tiya Sircar) and Yo-Yo (Tobit Raphael).

In every good there’s always the bad, therefore we have a scheming trouble seeking intern Graham (Max Minghella) who is determined to take them down.

As time wears on, the unlikely friendships are tried and forged.

The plot may be cliched and formulaic, but it does have a heart and some soul in the right place.

Sweet, hilarious and heart-warming are superlatives to describe this movie.

And thank goodness that it is an enjoyable movie, unlike the regular slapstick that makes no sense.

Go check this one out.

MEET THE PARENTS: LITTLE FOCKERS Movie Review. ‘Tis the CHRISTMAS SEASON to be BRATTY.

“MEET THE PARENTS: LITTLE FOCKERS” PRESS PREVIEW

First, you try to pronounce the word “FOCKERS”.

It’s one tantalizing word.

It’s wreaking havoc upon my imagination.

I might get slapped with a R-rating here for even harboring such a vulgar thought.

But the fault ain’t mine as the film maker deliberately named it with an evil purpose.

The comely headline is “KIDS BRING EVERYONE CLOSER”, so won’t we be broaching on the subject of those FOCKER brats?

This season those FOCKER little terrors are going to bring the house down with their hilarious antics.

Christmas fun abounds, so move in with the flow and let your hair down.

The movie is spiced with gags to keep you in stitches, but they are for mature audiences. Teenagers might get tickled pink because the jokes poke fun at sex and bodily functions. Children below the age of 13 would probably be clueless.

MEET THE PARENTS: LITTLE FOCKERS is the third movie in this comedy series featuring the Fockers and of course, their extended family the Byrnes.

The first, followed by the second enjoyed smashing successes at the box office, now spawning a third.

IN A TIGHT NUTSHELL, Greg (Ben Stiller) is still the nerd who’s been trying very hard to please his intimidating father-in-law Jack (Robert De Niro) for a decade.

When Greg finally gets to earn the self-righteous Jack’s trust, problems creep in.

How else would you expect from a paper thin storyline?

Jack’s suspicion peaks when Greg takes on another job at a drug company to earn extra cash.

Well, Greg needs the “extras” to build a better dream home and sending the kids to the best school. All for the family.

The father-in-law is oblivious of Greg’s financial status. Or that he doesn’t want to know.

The film is directed by smart guy Paul Weitz.

The A-Lister cast ensemble comprises Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Barbara Streisand, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, Jessica Alba, Harvey Keitel and Dustin Hoffman.

They swear that we are all going to have a whole bus load of fun with them!

The main problem is, with so many famous faces, every single one of these people will need a decent amount of screen time.

So what has changed since the last two smashing successes?

Greg is still a male nurse but he’s promoted now and presides over things is his department.

Roz Focker (Barbra Streisand) is as harebrained as usual, finally getting to do her own TV show where she unashamedly exposes Greg’s sexual problems over telecast.

Bernie Focker (Dustin Hoffman) is listlessly learning to dance the Flamingo in Spain.

To top all these, there’s Pam’s domineering dad, Jack (Robert DeNiro) who demands that Greg be a GOD FOCKER.

Last but not least there is sexy Andi Garcia (Jessica Alba) who is adamant to ensnare Greg as a rep for her erectile dysfunction medication called Sustengo that works wonders for heart patients to enjoy vigorous sex without risking attacks.

Voila!

What follows are loads of misunderstandings, spying and merry-go-rounds by Jack.

It’s one riotous hippie-hip-hip racket here to rock you,

and to spread the Yuletide cheer all around.

An above board, predictable storyline

but the film director’s treatment and the glittering cast ensures a strong entertainment package.

You are treated to a select variety of delicacies pleasing to the most refined palate here, to beckon you on an enjoyable experience of 99 minutes.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, FOLKS,

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!
