The Intern (2015)

Official Poster for  The Intern . Warner Bros. Pictures SOURCE Written and Directed by Nancy Meyers The Soundtrack The Intern  at  IMDb The Intern  at  AllMovie The Intern      at Wikipedia   THE INTERN was a box office hit.  I planned to watch it back then, but it remained just a plan .   The story is about a bored retired executive who becomes the personal intern of the CEO of About the Fit, an e-commerce fashion startup. I love Robert De Niro's character, Ben.   Yes, he still gets attracted to women, especially Fiona, the inhouse masseuse, but he is a very decent man who would make you feel safe, and could entrust your young daughter to, without imagining horrible stuff.  When he's driving, you could fall asleep in the car because you trust him... et cetera, et cetera.  I love that he could be a good friend to Jules(and the whole office for that matter).

During one of those conflicts, I wondered why Maiko was so ignorant?  She's twenty-four, and she's a married woman.  Yes, her first real relationship is her husband, but she
