Plots(1)
Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation's most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention. (official distributor synopsis)

Hogwash with no story, but with a nice duo of characters and the intriguing environment of the Google Empire. To tell the truth, I didn’t feel like switching off prematurely and was genuinely curious if he won in the end. P.S. The best scenes are the ones with the whores in the club.

The fact that Vince Vaughn is incredibly unsympathetic actor, whom I can only stand in "Wedding Crashers," is one thing, but what Owen Wilson is doing here... Well, I understand why some people can't stand him. I haven't heard so many empty, dull, and pathetic lines that are supposed to be funny just because both actors speak so fast in a long time. The classic awkward happy ending saves it, there is an unnecessary romance here, and ultimately it's better for me than "There Will Be Blood", but not by much. At least I didn't have to fast forward it.

A pretty good light-hearted film, which fortunately doesn't rely too much on vulgar and tasteless humor like many contemporary American comedy films. The premise is a bit far-fetched and largely unrealistic, and there are a few downright awkward moments, but I had a good time through most of it. The very good soundtrack also contributed to the relaxing atmosphere. (60%)
