Meanwhile the Hathaway character has turned into a helpless, whiny stereotypical old-style female. Her life is out of control. She shares personal information inappropriately. But she’s got the main qualification to be taken seriously and run a company. She’s young and attractive.

The movie’s ending reinforces the worst stereotype of aging. Robert began his internship eager to work. Like many people, he derived his life’s purpose from meaningful paid work, not volunteering or “leaving a legacy.” In our society, you don’t get taken seriously till you get paid for what you do.

Unlike other interns, Robert won’t be rewarded with a paid position in this company or philippines phone number resource anywhere else. Older adults – and “older” starts at forty-something in most places – just aren’t wanted. Employers might complain about their lack of technology skills, but they find reasons not to hire “mature” graduates of boot camp tech courses.

In fact, at the end, we see Robert heading back to retirement, relieved to re-join his morning tai chi class. He fits the stereotype. If he were a real person? Give him about 2 weeks and he’ll be wishing his internship had turned out to be a real job.

Imagine a movie with a gay hero he can indeed make three-point shots … although he was brought onto the team as a gesture to diversity and a way to get livelier press coverage.
