Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Intern (2015)

A widower bored to distraction by his retirement replies to an advertisement for an internship at a web-based clothing retailer. He lands the gig and is assigned to the owner, even though she doesn’t want him.

This movie is far better than it needs to be. DeNiro is in “sincere” rather than mugging mode and gives his new boss the support -- both professional and emotional -- that she didn’t realize she was craving. It’s satisfying… as long as you weren’t all that hungry.
