According𒀰 to the logic of Shawn Levy’s movie, 40 is the new 80. that’s really the only way to explain the predicament its two middle- aged protagonists, Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson), face.

After all, they’re compl🐻etely side-swiped when their boss informs them that their careers – selling high-end analogue watches – have come to an abrupt end, leaving them to 🍨flail around in a digital world they don’t understand.

When an attempt to work for nick’s brother-in-law (Will Ferrell, in a funny cameo) doesn’t pan out, the pair sign up for a Google internship.

Naturally, most of the interns are half our heroes’ age, and in order to beat the odds, Billy and Nick have to endure traumas ♒both physical and emotional in a programme that seems more like a sadisti🔯c reality show.

Despite the exaggerated cluelessness of its leads, there’s a sobering truthfulness to The Internship which undercuts the obvious comedy.

As the mid😼dle-aged duo risk it all for an entry-level position, it’s hard to forget th🎃e similar scenarios being played out for real after the recession.

Get beyond the grim re♍ality 🌟and you get to the real heart of the film: Vaughn and Wilson. eight years on from , the pair successfully rekindle their irascible shtick.

Sure, the🌟 years might have mellowed them but the bromance is definitely still there.
