With all this in place, the script, by newcomers Jeff and Craig Cox, glides through the typical sports movie tropes with mixed success: the bitter rivalry, the training montage and of course the secret weapon - in this case a ridiculous feat of skatesmanship called the Iron Lotus (fans of that classic Rodney Dangerfield comedy "Back to School" will immediately recall the "Triple Lindy").
In Nick and Billy’s snobs-versus-snobs clash, “The Internship” embeds reliable, if not groundbreaking, ’80s-movie code from “Back to School” and “Real Genius” (complete with its own nod to Lazlo, the bookish recluse from “Genius”).
Add a dash of hip-hop to your standard Cheech & Chong movie, then a smattering of National Lampoon's Animal House or maybe a dollop of Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School.
