Robert DeNiro plays Ben Whittaker, a widower and retiree with time on his hands who decides to return to the workforce as an intern at a new start-up hip company run by Anne Hathaway as Jules Ostin. The age difference is a big part of the jokes as Jules’ company is cutting edge with IT and social media. Enter a man who still uses a slide-rule and the fun ensues. Ben has much to catch up to, and finds the family he’s been missing, but it’s his classic character and gentlemanly manners that ends up changing the younger generation as well.
