The film "Trainee": reviews of the audience, cast members

Some viewers are skeptical about the appearance on the screen of age-old Hollywood stars, believing that if the actor is over 70, he will no longer be invited to appear in a quality, interesting and worthwhile movie. An exception to this rule was the film "Trainee". Comments of the spectators who have visited the cinema, as well as an acquaintance with the cast of the picture, we will present to your attention in the next publication devoted to novelties of cinema.

Master of Reincarnation

Directed by Nancy Myers has established herself on the best side, working on such famous films as "What Women Want" and "Exchange Holidays". Her work can be considered a classic of the genre of romantic comedy. Usually, Nancy invites only prominent actors to the main roles. So it happened with her next work - the film "Trainee". The length of the film is 121 minutes, and all this time the viewer has the opportunity to enjoy the work of the great actor Robert De Niro.

Some fans of the cinema with experience will be unaccustomed to see De Niro in the role of "God's dandelion," the widower of Ben Whitaker. Yet before our eyes there are images of notorious scoundrels, scoundrels and criminals, played by the actor in younger years. The very images for which he received the deserved recognition of critics and the love of the audience. However, De Niro proved that nothing is impossible, and easily transformed into an old man, trying to do something after the death of his wife.

Casting

Today we are talking about a new melodrama with elements of comedy, which is the film "Trainee". With Robert De Niro Nancy Myers came into contact after her project refused to participate, another Hollywood mastodont - Jack Nicholson. Perhaps this is for the best. It is curious that the situation with the main female role was almost the same.

Originally, Jules Austen, head of the online fashion store, was supposed to play Reese Witherspoon. Oscar-winning actress even agreed to participate in the shootings. However, after a while she was forced to leave the project, citing excessive employment. Well, demanded actresses can afford to choose. Thus, the film "Trainee" (description and reviews we will present in our review) received no less charismatic and vivid actress - Anne Hathaway. She brought to the ribbon a touch of charm, grace and real glamor.

Roles of the second plan

In addition to these two charismatic main characters, the creation of Nancy Myers has acquired support in the person of the extravagant and ageless René Rousseau. Have not you had time to watch the film "Intern"? Actors Nat Woolf, Adam Devine, Anders Holm, Wallis-Curry Wood, Marybeth Monroe and others will not let you get bored. Separately, I would like to note the rising star of comedies and melodrama of Nat Wolfe. This young actor is extremely in demand in modern cinema. His latest works - "Paper cities" and "Ashby" - speak about this.

Story line

In today's review, we present to your attention the film "Trainee" with De Niro and Hathaway in the lead roles. Now it's time to talk about the storyline, which many viewers will seem simple, but original. So, the 70-year-old Ben Whitaker is widowed, but does not want to put up with the unenviable fate of a non-working pensioner, who is spending his days at the TV screen. The protagonist reconciled with the loss of his beloved woman and wants to be in demand in society. However, the business that he has been doing all his life has already ceased to exist.

Where to go to the aged man? Of course, in a young team. Misunderstanding on the part of the youths and inept handling of the computer does not bother Ben, because he is a purposeful person, such as a real man should be. We can say that the hero of Robert De Niro found himself as a trainee of a fashionable online store, which is led by Jules Austen, his real calling. He easily mastered all the technical wisdom, found a common language with the young team, taught life lessons to his own boss.

The protagonist is too happy

If you have already watched the movie "Trainee", you probably liked the actors. This can not be doubted. Only there is one "but". Ben Whitaker somehow quickly experienced the death of his wife, he did not go into depression and seems absolutely happy person. He is optimistic even at the moment when he is invited to the funeral of old friends. Such a fit, cheerful, cheerful elder can only evoke tenderness and a lot of questions from the viewer. But does it really happen in real life? Really there are such individuals? Reviews about the film "Trainee" say that some people could not watch the tape to the end - too long, boring and sugary it seemed to them.

Instead of a nontrivial drama about the advancement of an elderly hero on the career ladder, we see another toothless story. Where are the villains and the people who are plotting the very Jules Austen? From whom is Whitaker the whole film defending his boss? And why was the 70-year-old elder, who was not familiar with the structure of work in the fashion industry, so quickly gained promotion? This movie is too good, glamorous, it will surely appeal to women of all ages. Men, most likely, will leave the tape without attention.

The heroine with the eyes of Ben Whitaker

Today we are reviewing the film "Trainee". Reviews about the film are very controversial, but this can only mean one thing: the picture has reached the minds and hearts of the general public. Let's return to Jules Austen. Initially, the founder of the fashionable intrenet-empire appears to the audience as happy as the hero of Robert De Niro. She is young, beautiful, wealthy and energetic. What more can you want a woman in our time for complete happiness? However, behind the beautiful facade lies the sensitive and deeply wounded inner world of a young business woman. And all this is revealed to us after the friendly rapprochement between Ben and Jules.

An experienced intern gives a lot of important life lessons to his boss. As it turned out, in fact, the heroine of Anne Hathaway became a victim of her own success and grew up with a whole heap of phobias and fears inherent in modern women. What, first of all, did the film "Trainee" remember? The reviews of the cinephiles testify that it was extremely interesting for them to observe the problems of the modern woman not through the prism of internal drama, but from the happy and contented elderly person. That's why the picture turned out so light and easy.

Whether it is necessary to look?

This film is intended for family viewing, it in an easy, casual manner affects the problems of modern society and leaves a positive imprint. If you love action and excessive drama, then you may be disappointed by the film "Trainee". Reviews of movie lovers say that at least one unusual plot twist in the tape is present. Everything turns upside down when the viewer realizes that the trainee actually acts as a "little boss" and very successfully teaches the heroine of a happy peaceful life.

Do not expect from the film a sparkling humor that makes you laugh to the point of colic, its purpose in the other. However, witty jokes, which are so rare on the screens in recent years, are still present. For those moments that make us smile, we love cinema. If you want to get a unique opportunity to look at yourself and your life through the eyes of a person from another generation, learn wisdom and gain some life experience, then the "Trainee" (duration of the film - 2 hours 1 minute) is your theme.

Viewers' opinions

As noted in the reviews, this is a good and bright movie, when after viewing you leave the room with a smile on your lips and with the thought of not wasting your time. The plot is funny and not beaten at all. Where else can you look at the work of a pensioner in a young team? It would seem that now there must be a lot of comical situations, but instead we are amazed to see how well the main character copes with all the difficulties. Once he himself was a leader. Despite this, he never put his new bosses in an awkward position. He came to study and is doing just that. And although the situation shown on the screen is from the category of fiction, you believe the protagonist, like the heroine. It is this that should be a real man and a real woman.
