Anne Hathaway presents her New Intern: Robert De Niro

The actor is great in this light comedy rebroadcast this evening on TF1.

“There is no age to do another internship”said the comedy poster The New Internwhich was released in cinemas in 2015 and which will return to the first channel at 9:10 p.m. followed by another cult film on the world of work, The devil wears Prada.

Anne Hathaway is therefore responsible for training her surprising trainee, a septuagenarian played by Robert DeNiro in front of the camera of Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Anything Can Happen).

At 72 years old at the time of release, the legend of American cinema continued his comedic momentum, after the very dispensable Return match, Malavita And Last Vegasbut New intern was more successful. In FirstIsabelle Danel rightly defended the actor’s performance in her review.

While his fans wait firmly the return of De Niro to Martin Scorsesein the historical thriller Killers of the Flower Moonhere is our opinion on The New Intern : “Wisdom of the ancients vs energy of the new? The screenwriter and director of The Holiday And Not that easy writes effectively and films stories in keeping with the times without genius. She does it again here, starting from an amusing premise: Ben, a septuagenarian retiree and widower, gets a job as a “senior intern” in a fashion start-up created and managed by the dynamic Jules. He then becomes a model and a mentor for her… Accurate observations, moments of emotion and gritty, not always light-hearted quarters of an hour mix in this pleasant and surprise-free transgenerational comedy. Robert De Niro, who we haven’t seen so sober in a long time, is perfect.”

Note that this programming is perfect for all fans of American comedies. The New Intern is in fact a nod to the Devil Wears Pradathe cult comedy that launched the career ofAnne Hathawayin which she plays an intern tyrannized by Meryl Streep, editor-in-chief of a prestigious fashion magazine. Nine years later, the Oscar-winning actress thanks to Miserable took the bottle since she is the one who runs a fashion site and who plays the internship supervisor of Robert DeNiro !
