Garbage, absolute garbage.

"The Internship Games follows a group of young college students who are competing to get an internship at a company. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what kind of movie this is. It tries to be dramatic featuring social and racial commentary, but undercuts itself with comedy; the problem is that this is one of the least funny movies I have ever see, literally every joke falls flat. This doesn't even feel like a real movie, it feels like a movie that was just thrown together and shot by a group of friends. The writing is cringe- worthy, the acting is horrendous, the cinematography is horrible, and the jokes (if you can call them that) are random and make no sense. On top of all that, this movie is actually kind of racist and stereotypical. Some of the characters are from ethnic backgrounds for the soul purpose of being made fun of, and are stereotypical portraits of that type of person. All but one of the six applicants going for the internship are black, the other is white. And the only reason she is there is to be made fun of for being different. Every interaction between her and another character is based solely on her race, and being disliked for being white. It's meant to be funny, but does just come off as racist. I could go on and on about how bad this movie is, there really are no redeemable factors. It is straight up, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. This is the type of movie that makes me wonder how the people behind it couldn't realize how bad it was when making it. I wish I didn't spend an hour and a half watching this, but I did and now I can't get that time back; now all I can hope is that I never have to watch it again.

Not great. Not bad.

The movie was bit low budget but given what the actors had to work with it I believe it was seemingly a decent film. The "little person" character helped generated a few laughs from me. The supporting actors all seemed to project their lines pretty well. The movie did need help in a few areas as far as scripting and directing but the characters seemed to work well with what they were given. The character that seemed stare quite a bit needed more character development but overall performed well. I rated this movie a 7 out 10 because there are worse films out there and I was able to get through the entire movie without getting sleepy or reaching for my phone.
