The initial outing was high on atmosphere, capturing an era filled with shoulder pads and great music.
Movie Review: 'The Intern' (2015)

He winds up finding that in an unlikely place, when he answers an ad placed by an online apparel company seeking seniors for an internship program. It is there that he meets the high-strung Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway), a self-made businesswoman clawing her way through simultaneous crises in her career and personal life.
