Movie 2014.01.04 - The Internship

Feel-good movie about two watch salesmen who lost their jobs, and now trying to transition into the new digital world. They decided to try their hand at a Google internship. At this point, a willing suspension of disbelief comes in handy.

Of course, the interview was done online via Hangouts. The old-timers didn't even have a webcam, so they commandeered a PC from the public library, while bribing the kids with soda money to leave them alone. Incredibly, they got accepted into the program. In spite of being grouped together with the "losers" of the class, they started winning challenges - the Quidditch match when they've never even heard of Harry Potter, coming up with the winning idea for an app after a night of drunken debauchery, etc.

If all Google needs are quirky characters with a lot of Googliness, I'm in.
