The Internship - Telegraph The Internship plunges the comic dream team of 2005, Wedding Crashers's Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, into a fable of recession and redemption. They play two ageing salesmen who lose their jobs and apply for an internship at Google, in flailing competition with technologically astute twenty-somethings. The pair are mostly endearing, and the film generates a few funny moments, mainly supplied by an energetically gross cameo from Will Ferrell as a bed-shop owner. Yet the tone hovers uneasily between satire and sincerity, and it becomes achingly clear that the central romance is not between Wilson's character and Rose Byrne (playing a Google manager) but between the film-makers and their chosen search engine. Rarely has a company been treated with such wide-eyed adulation. By the time I actually heard the word "googliness" - meaning a composite of all indefinable virtues - it had already stuck painfully in my craw.
