The Internship
A majority of reviews, even positive ones, derided "The Internship" for being a feature-length Google commercial. In his review, Ty Burr of "The Boston Globe" commented: "Here’s why Google is so successful: It's figured out a way for Twentieth Century Fox to make a two-hour Google commercial disguised as a summer comedy". Stephen Rea of "The Philadelphia Inquirer" wrote on his review, ""The Internship" itself would be kind of charming, too, if this Google-recruitment film, this 119-minute commercial for Googliness, weren't so downright creepy". "The Guardian"s David Cox described the movie as a "two-hour corporate video," while British film critic Mark Kermode called the film "the longest advert I've seen in the cinema". He dismissed it as "one of the most witless, humourless, vomit-inducing horribly self-satisfied, smug, unfunny comedies I have ever seen".
