I am not a film critic, but i'll do the best i can with my review, that reflects my opinions alone.
This was an amazing picture. I saw it yesterday and was so impressed by Robert De Niro and his Chivalrous Gentleman like character. Anne Hathaway was totally on her game as well.
De Niro plays Ben, a widowed retiree who was once a CEO and is bored with retirement. He decides to apply as an intern for an online clothing outfit founded and ran by Anne Hathaway's character of Jules, who herself is a mother and wife of a stay at home father.
Jules has what seems like the the life any girl would give their right arm for. A smart and adorable daughter. A seemingly loyal husband, who himself gives up his career to yield to hers and a successful company with many employees, that she has total control of. But Jules is slowly losing control, and she knows it and at some points has an emotional break down.
Just when it seems she is gonna lose it, Ben comes into her life as her intern. A smart gentleman who is aware of everything going on around him and is loved by everyone who meets him. As Ben starts to work with Jules, he becomes quite aware of what she is going thru and starts to offer his advice to help her along.
It's amazing to see, the development of the relationship between Jules and Ben and how they come to depend on eachother, as well as the fact that he becomes her mentor and best friend and helps to put her life back in order.
It's also nice to see Rene Russo again, also on her game,, who plays a company masseuse. There is one scene with her and DeNiro that is totally hilarious
I totally recommend this movie. And although Hathaway was xlnt, this movie would have never worked without DeNiro's charm. Movies like this don't come around too often in this day and age.
