The film "Trainee": reviews of the film and description

Autumn 2015 was rich and generous with unusual novelties of cinema, and one of the long-awaited surprises was the premiere of a comedy with Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway under the title "Trainee". Reviews about the film were mixed: the critics of the tape was taken very cool, but the audience appreciated it at its true value, already in the first days of renting with hundreds of complacent reviews on the network.

Expectations for the new film Nancy Myers was very much. First, the success of previous projects of the famous director and script writer to some extent obliged the "Trainee" to stand on a par with "What Women Want" and "Exchange Leave." Secondly, the stellar composition of the film before the premiere made it one of the most passionately anticipated fans.

The plot of the movie

In the center of the story, pensioner Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro). Regardless of his advanced years and the status of a widower, Ben does not want to dwell on a boring and full life. Having tried many of the delights of a widower's pension life, he decides to go to work. The case brings him to the young team of a small online fashion store, where Ben gets the place of an intern. At first, the stay of an elderly person surrounded by a creative, ambitious, sometimes overly rectilinear and even tactless youth causes some perplexity. The spectator begins to worry about the main character, experiencing an almost real awkwardness at the sight of his irrepressible diligence and desire to benefit.

What will Trainee teach you?

However, soon the film turns into a good tale about the fact that human possibilities are almost unlimited, that age and time are not able to drain in a person the liveliness of the mind and the ability to enjoy the moment. Ben comes to the company Jules Austen (Anne Hathaway) intern, in fact, the online store staff begins to learn from Ben delicacy, the ability to trust, be friends and even fashionable to dress. The very Jules, who was before the meeting with Ben as if in oblivion, comes to herself and begins to look at the world with other eyes. What does she see in him? What role does it take? These questions are answered by the plot of the film "Trainee". Actors brilliantly conveyed the good, positive mood that is the basis of the film.

Polarity of reviews

Movies about the elderly Hollywood directors are filmed with surprising frequency, but the special love of the audience is given to such tapes as "Trainee". Reviews about the movie really were very diverse. Critics almost disappointed, but their attacks could not convince more grateful audience, and the film became one of the most popular in all rental of the fall of 2016. Certainly, the cordial reception of the tape was due to positive attention. "Trainee" tells about the life of an elderly person. Along with such films as "Until the drawer", "Marygold Hotel - the best of exotic", etc., this film was able to raise the mood of an audience of any age. The promise of a joyful, full of new life opportunities in retirement could hardly leave the viewer indifferent. Especially when such a positive point of view comes from the screen with the mouth of the famous actor.

Emotional component of the film

Sensitiveness and delicacy of friendship, questions of choice and trust, a reasonable attitude towards oneself and one's life pass through the whole film in a red thread, which makes the "Trainee" tape even more valuable from the ethical point of view. Reviews about the film in Russia were much more enthusiastic than in the homeland of this movie. Despite the fact that the inhabitants of our country are hardly close to the topic of the beginning of a new prosperous life in retirement, the "Trainee" was received in a friendly and complacent manner. An unpretentious, full of good irony, the story quickly fell in love with the Russians. And this is not surprising: the story of friendship, loyalty, limitless opportunities and success at any stage of the life course can not help inspiring cheerfulness, optimism and long-playing good mood. A good movie should make a person at least a little better, a little happier. This task was perfectly handled by the "Trainee". Reviews about the film mostly reflect subjective opinion, the objective is born in the course of watching the film with family and friends.
