Latest film Upper East Side White people with problems of Nancy Meyers, the student follows the tastes It is complicated and Something unexpected unless the trainee was generously sprinkled with hippie flavor in an attempt to appeal to young people. Manhattan was traded for Brooklyn-sorry, Brooklyn, that the location of a film by Nancy Meyers and you are more hip "people of a certain age" rom-com plot was replaced by an international friendship generational platonic between a thirty-something millennium and a septuagenarian Baby Boomer. If you do not look too hard, the trainee is a little elegant fluff featuring two compelling actors Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro, which is mostly Time harmless as long as you do not look too hard. But if you are thinking about this film for more than three seconds, you're in a bad time. There are some f * cked up politics at play in The sexes Intern.

Hathaway stars as Jules, the founder of an online high fashion website Net-think-A-Porter, which has grown exponentially and makes his highly successful and rich. So rich. Everyone in this film is rich. There are no poor people or anyone with a mortgage or loan over the intern, which takes place in the same universe that girls as there are also no minorities. But look fabulous warehouse Jules office space! And its amazing sandstone house! The trainee was filmed inside a material recovery catalog. De Niro, meanwhile, plays Ben, seventy years old, a retired widow who takes an internship at the company Jules to ward off the boredom of waiting for the release of the inevitable death.

There is something to this configuration that rings true. Jules is young enough to see the possibilities of entrepreneurship online and enjoy, but still quite inexperienced as running a real company is hard - it did not feel condescending. Ben is a generation that was raised to revolve around work, and so he feels compelled to continue working even when he no longer has to. (Literally he said that the only things that count in life are "love and work", to friendship and hobby f * cked can.) But the premise begins immediately collapse like a bad soufflé because Ben is hired by a program "senior internship." Why not just be the applicant unlikely a regular internship program? Why an internship program "senior"? There is no way that is not condescending when you think it through.

What is the challenge the trainee will think this through. Watch him on a plane and take it as cinematic cotton candy, just do not take it seriously because it will not hold. Jules is under pressure from investors to hire a more experienced CEO read: hire a guy to run the place. She fights, but ended up leaning on Ben as his consigliere, learn to better manage their business and manage their work-life balance. Meyers, who also wrote the script, seems sincere in his desire to explore what it means for a new generation of women to have it all. But it falls in some disturbing gender stereotypes. Jules still need a man to tell him how to live his life, progressive ideas in The trainee will make up his relationship with his unromantic male mentor.

I hated the Family Stone because he punishes openly the character of Sarah Jessica Parker for nothing more than being a career woman successful, and at least the trainee is not going to punish Jules for his success. His stay at home husband, Matt (Anders Holm), not the content as it claims to give up his job to support Jules in his, but Meyers resist drawing a direct line between the career of Jules, who 'takes on the house lot, and the indiscretions of Matt. But there is still an odd tone to punish the film, because it is always assumed that there are a Jules adjustment can be done, or it may find a solution to better manage their sh * t. A smarter version of this film, one more willing to engage with the real world, would put the burden on a company that is so ruthless for women and working mothers. After all, the film begins with Jules overwhelmed and evil, and the idea of ​​its investors of a solution is to take his job away from her. The problem with the trainee is that it is always on Jules changes can make to better fit into the traditional ideals of femininity, not how Jules can redefine the roles and definitions to make the world work for it.
