Man lernt nie aus (Originaltitel: The Intern) ist eine US-amerikanische Filmkomödie mit Robert De Niro, Anne Hathaway, Nat Wolff und Adam DeVine in den Hauptrollen. Sie kam am 24. September 2015 in die deutschen Kinos.
Jules Ostin, Gründerin und CEO eines E-Commerce-Modeunternehmens in New York, stellt im Rahmen eines Gemeindeprojektes den 70-jährigen Witwer Ben Whittaker als Praktikanten ein. Allerdings hat sie nur ihre Arbeit im Kopf und geht nicht auf den Senioren ein. Ben muss sich mit modernen Arbeitsmethoden und Technologie auseinandersetzen. Dabei helfen ihm einige der anderen Mitarbeiter, zu denen er wegen seiner besonderen Art einen guten Draht entwickelt. Einen anderen Praktikanten lässt Ben bei sich vorübergehend wohnen, weil er bei seinen Eltern ausziehen musste. Ben lernt auch die geschiedene Haus-Masseurin des Internet-Startups, Fiona, kennen und verliebt sich.
Als Ben entdeckt, dass Jules’ Chauffeur bei der Arbeit alkoholisiert ist, springt er als Fahrer ein. Während der gemeinsamen Fahrten kommen sich die beiden näher. Ben lernt Jules’ Familie kennen und freundet sich mit ihrer Tochter an. Ben erzählt Jules, dass er in dem Gebäude ihres Unternehmens 40 Jahre lang gearbeitet hat, als dort früher noch Telefonbücher produziert wurden, und sich auch aus diesem Grund für das Praktikum beworben hatte.
Zufällig entdeckt Ben während eines Ausflugs mit der Tochter, dass Jules’ Ehemann Matt eine Affäre hat, kann sich aber nicht dazu durchringen, ihr davon zu erzählen.
Nach gründlichen Überlegungen will Jules einen neuen CEO für ihr Unternehmen gewinnen. Nach einigen Fehlschlägen besucht sie mit Ben auf einer mehrtägigen Reise nach San Francisco einen weiteren CEO, mit dem sie schließlich ins Geschäft kommt. Auf der Reise gesteht Jules Ben, dass sie von der Affäre ihres Mannes wusste. Sie versucht mit ihm einen Neuanfang und verzichtet letztendlich doch auf die Unterstützung des CEOs, da sie es alleine schaffen will.

He applies to About The Fit, a fast-growing e-commerce fashion startup in Brooklyn. Founder and CEO Jules Ostin had previously agreed to a community outreach program where seniors would intern at the firm. Ben impresses everyone and is one of four hired. Ben is assigned to work with Jules, who is somewhat skeptical at first. Initially frozen out by her, Ben slowly wins over co-workers with his congeniality and gets into Jules's good graces. He also helps numerous employees with their tasks. Ben comes to work at 7:00 A.M. one day to organize a messy desk that Jules had complained about previously. After work, Ben notices Jules's chauffeur drinking, convinces the driver to leave and drives Jules home himself, a role he retains in days to come. On their first drive together, Ben asks several questions about Jules' personal life, and she asks one of her employees to transfer Ben to be an intern for someone else. But by the end of the day, they become very close. The next day, Jules arrives to the car to see Ben has been replaced as her driver by Doris. Doris is a horrible driver, driving into someone else's car and almost crashing into a building. Jules drives to About The Fit and begs Ben to come back, and so he does as she has no license. Ben eventually reveals that he once worked in the very same building where About The Fit is now based. He develops a romantic relationship with the in-house massage therapist, Fiona, and becomes something of a father figure to several of the younger workers: by offering advice about issues such as love, clothes sense and work/life balance. He provides one of them with a place to stay at his brownstone after being evicted by his parents. Ben becomes very committed to Jules, and even breaks into the house of Jules' mother to delete an embarrassingly scathing email, narrowly avoiding getting arrested in the process. Ben also gets to know Jules' family. Her husband, Matt, gave up his own career to be a stay-at-home dad to their daughter, Paige, when About The Fit started to take off. However, their marriage is slowly breaking apart as the couple grows more distant. Meanwhile, Jules is under pressure to give up her post of CEO to someone outside of the company as her investors feel that she is unable to cope with the workload, having grown About The Fit from a startup founded in her kitchen to a 220-employee juggernaut in only eighteen months. Believing it will give her more time at home with her family, Jules is willing to consider the proposal. When driving Paige home from a party, Ben discovers that Matt is having an affair with another parent at Paige's school. While on a business trip in San Francisco to interview a potential CEO candidate, Jules reveals that she knows about Matt's cheating, but did not confront Matt about it because she was not ready to deal with it. In an effort to buy herself time to save her marriage, Jules decides to hire a prospective CEO. When Jules goes to Ben's home the next day, Ben greatly encourages Jules to think about how much this will change her authority and how her creativity may be hindered and also reminds her of her passion for her company. Matt unexpectedly drops in at the office and urges her to reconsider, saying that he is sorry, ashamed, and wants to support her in her dreams. Jules goes out looking for Ben, wanting to tell him that she has changed her mind and finds him enjoying his tai chi exercise group. She finally lets herself relax and joins him in practicing tai chi, an act symbolic of her finding balance in her life.
Originally set up at Paramount Pictures, The Intern was planned to feature Tina Fey and Michael Caine in the lead roles.[3] Handed over to Warner Bros., Fey was replaced by Reese Witherspoon as the attached star, though Witherspoon left the film on January 15, 2014, due to scheduling conflicts.[4] On February 7, 2014, Anne Hathaway was in final talks to replace Witherspoon in the lead role.[5] Stephen Goldblatt was set as director of photography.[6] On June 23, 2014, Zack Pearlman joined the cast of the film.[7] FilmingPrincipal photography began on June 23, 2014, in Brooklyn, New York City,[8] where De Niro was spotted on the set of the film.[9] Filming was completed on October 2, 2014.[10] The Intern grossed $75.7 million in North America and $118.8 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $194.6 million, against a net production budget of $35 million.[1] The film opened alongside Hotel Transylvania 2 and was projected to gross $15–20 million in its opening weekend.[11] It grossed $17.7 million, finishing second at the box office behind Hotel Transylvania 2 ($48.5 million).[11] Critical responseOn Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 59% based on 193 reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The Intern doesn't do enough with its timely premise, but benefits from the unorthodox chemistry of its talented leads."[12] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 51 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[13] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale.[11] Richard Roeper of The Chicago Sun-Times gave the film an "A–", stating, "With some genuinely insightful dialogue, a number of truly funny bits of physical business, and small scenes allowing us to get know and like a half-dozen supporting players,"[14][15] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times wrote that the film was similar to Meyers's other works, stating that it was "frothy, playful, homogeneous, routinely maddening and generally pretty irresistible." Despite criticizing Meyers's screenplay and "conflicted ideas about powerful women," Dargis praised the casting of De Niro, stating he "owns the movie from the moment he opens his mouth." Hathaway's role was derided as "less of a character and more of a fast-walking, speed-talking collection of gender grievances."[16] Director Quentin Tarantino viewed the film as Oscar-worthy, stating “It does seem to be to some degree there’s a boom or bust aspect when it comes to Hollywood when it comes to female directors. There becomes an era when there’s a lot working then that settles down and there’s a dry period—but frankly, maybe I’m just talking shit because the thing is there are female directors. Maybe they’re not being the ones that are being asked to be on The Hollywood Reporter roundtable. One of my favorite movies this last year was Nancy Meyers’ The Intern. They're not considering that for the Oscars even though I think Robert De Niro gave one of the best performances this year in that movie. I thought the script was actually one of her best. Right up there with It's Complicated. They're not asking her to be part of the discussion.”[17] Clem Bastow, writing for The Guardian, suggested that poor reviews for the film were primarily coming from men, who form the overwhelming majority of film critics.[18] Bastow further suggested that female critics would "feel the need to go hard on certain films for women" such as The Intern.[19]
Deepika Padukone announced on 27 January 2020 that she will produce the Hindi remake of The Intern, also playing the female lead role, but the remake's production was postponed mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[23] Rishi Kapoor was initially cast as the male lead, but after his sudden death in April 2020 due to leukemia, he was replaced by Amitabh Bachchan in March 2021. Principal photography began in November 2021.[24] It is set to be released in the summer of 2022.[citation needed]
