This week sees the release of The Internship, a film berated by many for its unabashed Google product placement. I liked it. It prompted me to get home and Google Google. Will this mark the arrival of a whole new slew of films based around familiar brands? Probably not. But just in case, here are a few suggestions I think would be smashing.
The Internship Review
Director: Shawn Levy Writer: Vince Vaughn, Jared Stern Starring: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rose Byrne Running Time: 119 Minutes Year: 2013
Those schticksters of comedy, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn have been reunited for the first time since 2005’s Wedding Crashers for The Internship. Their irresponsible hijinks have been cast aside this time around, as they take on the role of two salesmen from Arizona. After losing their jobs, they trek to California in the pursuit of the American dream. A newly realised American dream; that of a bagging an internship at Google.
