With his experience, especially in sales and marketing, the de Niro character is actually criminally underused. At one point he identifies that areas of high spend for them aren't producing the best sales, other areas are potentially more profitable - but then nothing's made of that, and he resumes as babysitter, chauffeur, daddy figure. A more satisfactory end is that he becomes the boss's number two, thus taking some of the pressure off her shoulders. So in a way, it celebrates the values of older people, but then blows it.
Having said that, all of that occurred to me while I was enjoying it. With de Niro and Hathaway are Rene Russo, Anders Holm (the husband, who's forgiven ridiculously easily), JoJo Kushner (daughter), Andrew Rannells again, Adam Devine (Modern Family), Zack Pearlman (hairy intern), Jason Orley, Christina Scherer (boss's PA), Nat Wolff (to be in Hallie's Home Again), Celia Weston.
