Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle.

This is the fourth movie Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson have done together, the others being Wedding Crashers, Zoolander and Starsky & Hutch. In both Wedding Crashers and The Internship, Vince Vaughan is referred to as "Big Tree," in Wedding Crashers by Bradley Cooper, when he tackles Vaughan after he throws an interception ("big tree fall hard"), and in the Internship by Dylan O'Brien, when teams are being set up, and there is a debate about breast feeding versus bottle feeding.

Quotes
[first lines]
Nick Campbell:
What the shit is this? Why is this on the get psyched mix?
Billy McMahon:
Because I gotta throw you a curve-ball every now and again, or you get bored, and the mix doesn't have its intended effect.
Nick Campbell:
No, I want to get rev'd up, and this song's not doing it.
Billy McMahon:
Oh, really? I defy you to crush this chorus and not get psyched.
Nick Campbell:
Not gonna happen.
Billy McMahon:
Don't ya think?

Saw a pre-screening with a friend this film last night. Very painful experience. There is "Product Placement" and a new-term I will coin which is "Film-placement", whereby a film plot is constructed around the need to show-off every aspect of a Product. Barely a laugh in sight at the cinema. Cannot believe Google signed this off they have self-belief in spades! Things that did make a mark on me in this film: Google provides silly hats for interns (i.e. "Noogles", porting silly little hats complete with little propellers), coloured bicycles on campus, relaxation pods, online advertising, online analytics, GPS location services, oh and not forgetting free food (provided not taken home, and a barrel of laughs intended to be associated around this one). Oh, and some of its lecturers have to make do part-time as strippers (where did that one come from?). I have seen many mediocre films in my time but this is the first that I have been compelled to "review".
