Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the fetch quest for the computer, Davis in the opening shot of the car is sitting in the back seat, the belt away from the collar of his shirt. Close-up and the collar is all squished against the seatbelt. (01:10:30)

Stupidity: The idea that to stop someone from reading an e-mail if you can't sneakily delete the mail at least you can steal their computer altogether is flawed (for one, they can access their account from a different machine - and turns out Jules' mom has two laptops at home), but despite that, and the fact that everyone in Ben's team is supposedly tech-savvy, nobody takes exception to that. (01:10:20)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: When Jules walks into the emergency meeting with the tech guys saying "Hey guys, thanks for coming", seen from behind she has her fists down her sides, from the front she's rubbing her hands in front of her chest. (01:09:25)

The Intern (2015)
Other mistake: Jules is watching the activity on their website in real time with her staff, over a map of the United States. It's a map that dynamically changes every few moments, with the views stat increasing by a few units per second, and icons of shopping carts popping over the map. That's in close-up, because when Ben arrives and the screen is in the foreground slightly out of focus, the page is static, no new views and no little cart landmarks for the duration of his report. (01:03:20 - 01:03:45)

Character mistake: Ben convinces Becky to let him work with her using the line he heard from Jules' mother, but he says it wrong; she said that women who sleep less than 7 hours per night are 38% more likely to gain weight, and De Niro says that they gain 38% more weight - kind of a big difference. (01:02:45)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Ben has been transferred back to his original position, much to Becky's dismay. Jules drops by to check on the relocation; she is holding the corporate coffee cup with her hand in a different position on it depending on the shot. (01:00:45)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Jules is helping Ben set his Facebook page. When she asks about religious views and such, Ben's bottle of Stella Artois on the desk faces opposite directions between shots. Then he tells her that he finds her inspiring. She drinks her beer as she replies, and the label directly faces the camera under both angles. (00:53:45)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Jules brings her kid to school; in the wide shot there's another kid that walks behind Paige and her and eventually reaches the school's gate, but in the next shot she has to do it all over again. (00:44:45)
10th Jul 2022
The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: When Jules gets in bed with her husband (somehow she wasn't snoring earlier), she exchanges a few words with him and even mentions watching something on Netflix. During this scene her hands change position on the laptop depending on the camera angle. (00:39:10)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: When Matt asks Jules to turn off the light on her bedstand, she holds his hand above the wrist, or hand in hand depending on the angle. (00:40:35)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Ben is driving Jules for the first time. She is talking to her mom on the phone. The mother mentions research. The conversation is in continuity across shots, but Anne Hathaway's fingers on the phone first, then her hair, change position. (00:32:10)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: When Fiona gives her card to Ben, two coworkers in the background part ways. De Niro pockets the card, and the two are still there checking the same dress out and chatting. (00:29:30)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Both Davis and Ben's personal items keep changing position on the desk when they pull them out from their bag and suitcase as they await their first ever assignment. (00:14:50)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Ben is getting ready for the first day as an intern. On his bed stand he sets up both alarm clocks, a remote control and a wristwatch. They change their respective distance from the edge depending on the camera angle. (00:12:35)
10th Jul 2022
The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: In the intro of the movie, De Niro mentions visiting funerals. This sequence comprises two angles; when the camera is behind De Niro, you can see that the grey haired guy he sits next to in the second angle is sitting at the far right of the church bench, his elbow is even sticking out. In the second, he's already sitting at the center so that there's room for him. (00:02:20)

Audio problem: Jules had one drink too many and she falls back slurring "Thanks agaaaaain" - her lips however don't move, it was dubbed over. (01:17:40)
18th Jun 2022
The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Jules reacts to Ben's answer about his previous job asking "phone books?" She already cocked her head in the previous shot (when he said "Dex One"), but she does it again, and when the camera is back on the previous angle, the further change of position is not registered. She also holds the pizza slice at a different height depending on the angle. (00:51:50)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Everyone shows concern for Ben's health when he's not quite himself at work. Jason says that he looks like he's 'malfunctioning'. Ben puts away his patented handkerchief. When he manages to shoo him and the secretary away several seconds later, he's putting the hankie away again. (01:30:10)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Keeping a secret from Jules makes Ben uneasy, so when he is back at the office after finding Matt out, he is very evasive. During the scene, Jules' hand with the fork changes position several times. Then all of a sudden she holds her hand, with no fork, to her chest as she says he looks flushed, and at the cut the hand switched from right to left. (01:29:40)

The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Paige "like a clone" tries to correct Ben about the best course. She says "This is it" and touches the computer; her left hand is on the armrest of her seat. It's under the computer thingie in the next shot when Ben says the line. (01:23:15)
