Read lots of bloggers have a review on this movie, I was wondered why my brother and brother in law never ask to watch this movie o.O Then right on that night, we go for a movie and here is it (law of attraction??) I must got to say Anne Hathaway caught my attention the most, because of The Princess Diaries that movie, she's so pretty and do look like a real princess to me lo.

記得很小的時候就很喜歡這位女主角,大大的眼睛飾演麻雀變公主變公主的她,真的很像一位公主的完美。 那時候我還天真的以為她真的是真的公主,哈哈哈! 而在這部電影裡安妮·海瑟薇飾演的女上司,家庭事業都是盡量配合,雖然到了後面她曾經想過放棄自己辛苦得來的事業來挽回婚姻,但還好她最後還是打消了這個念頭。
So back to the movie, the story wasn't like what expected, a senior intern, Robert De Niro work at an online big company, I was expected he got some failure to get into the flow, but he turned out to be very humble and willing to learn. Even he has't been assigned to any work, he will look around find something to work on (seriously, some fresh newbies nowadays should learn from it, if has nothing to do, they might just loitering around or browsing internet and some even can finish few photo books in advanced) Well, what about Anne Hathaway then? I do really like her character here though, woman like good in career is definitely charming but as a woman also good in family that's absolutely best of the best. Even though ended up she decided to give-up her company unwillingly but of course she didn't in the end.

這個還是滿新鮮的題材,不過我覺得假如真的有公司是這樣,應該會鬧出不少笑話來。 本來還以為故事題材會延伸到該實習生生病還是什麼的,但是故事的發展卻帶出了很多人生道理。 現代社會,很多老一輩的都會逐漸的被標籤為跟不上腳步的落後一族。 或許那只是表面的看法,畢竟他們都在社會打滾了這麼久,累積了一定的人生處事態度。 男主角罗伯特·德尼罗在新公司的謙卑及待人處事,都是我們應該學習的。

Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway) is the founder and CEO of About the Fit, a fast-growing e-commerce fashion company. One day she agrees to a community outreach program where seniors will intern at the firm. One of the new interns is Ben Whitaker (Robert De Niro), a widower and retired executive at a phone directory company. Ben is assigned to work with Jules, who is somewhat skeptical of him at first. One day Jules' chauffeur is drunk, and Ben forces him to tell her when he sees him drinking while he is about to drive Jules, and she begins to warm to Ben when he takes over as her chauffeur as well. Ben eventually reveals that he once worked in the very same building where Above The Fit is now based. He also develops a romantic relationship with the in-house massage therapist, Fiona (Rene Russo), and becomes something of a father figure to the younger workers. He is very committed to Jules, and even breaks into the house of Jules' mother with his band of co-workers to delete an email that Jules inadvertently sent her. Meanwhile, Jules is seriously considering giving her post of CEO to someone outside of Above the Fit in hopes of professionalizing the company that has grown from a startup founded in her kitchen to a 250-employee juggernaut in only 18 months. Believing it will give her more time at home with her husband Matt (Anders Holm) and daughter Paige (JoJo Kushner), she is willing to consider the offer. While driving Paige home from a party, Ben discovers that Matt is having an affair with another parent at Paige's school. It turns out that Jules knows about Matt's cheating as well. While on a business trip in San Francisco, Jules tells Ben that she's hoping to bring in an outside CEO in order to save her marriage. Jules decides to accept one prospective CEO's offer. Late one night at work, Ben greatly encourages her to think about how much this will change her authority and how her creativity may be tampered with. Also, Matt unexpectedly drops in at the office and urges her to reconsider, saying that he is willing to make their marriage work. Jules goes looking for Ben wanting to tell him she's changed her mind, to find him in a Tai Chi exercise group. She finally lets herself relax, and joins him, thus ending the movie.
