Movies serve the major purpose of providing entertainment to the audience, but some movies are a whole package. Besides entertainment, they provide you with a moral lesson and make you feel good. These types of movies are called “feel-good movies.” If you have watched and love The Intern, then you know exactly what I am trying to say.
There is a unique flair to The Intern with the whole plot, some comedy sense with a tint of reality in it.
