Movies mostly serve the objective of giving amusement to audiences, however there are some films that act as a complete package. With entertainment, they teach you a moral lesson while also making you laugh and feel good. These films are referred to as “feel good flicks.” If you’ve seen and enjoyed The Intern, you’ll understand what I’m trying to express.
The Intern has a distinct feel to it, with a feeling of humour mixed in with a dash of truth. It’s almost as if you’re giving the new generation with a contemplative message, telling them that they can accomplish anything at any time and that all they have to do is be human and breathe. The film, directed by Nancy Meyers, introduces a whole new set of principles and norms for working, living, and being human. If you enjoy it as much as I do, I am confident that the films on this list will not disappoint you. We attempted to compile a list of films that are similar to The Intern and that we suggest. If you’re interested, some of these films, such as The Intern, may be available to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime, or even Hulu.
