Straightforward film extols virtues of being an older worker and wisdom; and of being a working mother. I particularly liked the scene in which the young entrepreneur Anne Hathaway berates society for reverting to calling men 'boys' whilst girls have become 'ladies'; stuff about the chivalry of handkerchieves. Ideas that are totally valid.
de Niro isn't exactly pushed as septuagenarian intern. Good support from Rene Russo, Anders Holm (cheating husband), JoJo Kushner (daughter), Andrew Rannells (her co-director, who I guess we know from Girls), Adam DeVine, Zack Pearlman (the young intern whose wardrobe gradually changes), Christina Scherer (the PA), Jason Orley (tech guy).
It's a bit soft. There are the usual array of nice NY homes and kitchens! Shot by Stephen Goldblatt.
