This offbeat indie IS a MUST HAVE for those comedy completists who collect the work of talented video director Rick Zahradnick. In this bizarre, byzantine feature, Rick the Z. manages a cameo from that funny-faced Comedy Guru Walt Jay, aka Jaschek, who has 3 disturbing minutes of screen time as a sex therapist. (FilmFans remember that Rick Z directed Walt Jay in that classic comedy short, "Offices in the Raw," seen in syndication everywhere.) So -- I don't know how "Summer Intern" will play in Peroria, my pets, but for Rick Z fans and Walt Jay groupies, it's worth a warped $20.

I just bought THE SUMMER INTERN and loved it! It had a slow opening but then it really took off! The actors were great, the writing was a hooty and it told me that even a jug like me can have a future if I believe in myself. It's got gobs of pretty girls, wild ostriches and the biggest bicycle in America. I saw Wayne Larsen, the star in Decampitated and he is like Tom Cruise in the one! And Barry Hickey as the villain? Move over bad guys, Hickey is super bad! If you're stuck in a deadend career, you gotta buy it or rent it! It will open your eyes up to the future!

I watched "The summer intern" and was pleasantly surprised by the satire,comedy and smooth direction of this flick.The cast was first rate.Check it out.

You will really enjoy this film. The acting, which I happen to know is all local talent, is outstanding. Under the direction of Rick Zahradnik and Barry Hickey, these characters are hilarious. They not only wrote, directed and filmed this entire production but they appear in it as well. They add a wonderful zany element to the film. The plot twists and turns but the pace is always quick and snappy. It never slows down. The editing is marvelous and the diversity of camera angles is unique and very creatively done. I really hope this film makes it big time in the box office. It has great potential. Look at The Blair Witch Project. Well, this one will leave you not scared to death but with a sideache from laughing so hard. We all need to laugh more than we do.

This film is, pure and simple, a masterpiece.

Anyone in Hollywood should watch this movie and hire this director to do $100 million dollar projects. I was entraced by the plot, blown away by the camerawork, the music was phenomenal and the acting was superb.

Funny, witty and charming, this movie is Mr. Smith Goes to Washington meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with a little bit of Animal House, Debi Does Dallas, American Graffiti and Death Race 2000 thrown in for good measure. It's like beef stew only more flavorful!

I really enjoyed it! It's all about a misunderstood kid who has great intentions and lousy friends. I watched it twice.

I saw God in this picture! He was there, speaking to me. I was poised, ready with a razor blade, ready to end it all, but this film showed me the light. I CAN do whatever I want with my life - it just took Summer Intern to show me the way. Halleluah!
