Short description
70-year-old widower Ben Whittaker has discovered that retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be. Seizing an opportunity to get back in the game, he becomes a senior intern at an online fashion site, founded and run by Jules Ostin.
What's left behind the scenes
- Reese Witherspoon was initially considered for the role of Jules, but she left the project, and the role ultimately went to Anne Hathaway.
- Reese Witherspoon was originally considered for the role of Jules, but she left the project, and the role ultimately went to Anne Hathaway.
- This is not Anne Hathaway's first film on the subject of the fashion industry. She also starred in David Frankel's comedy-drama "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006), where she played the role of a junior assistant to the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, played by Meryl Streep.
- Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway studied the Chinese martial art Taijiquan under the guidance of Tiffany Chen, daughter of Taijiquan master William S. S. Chen.
- In one scene, Robert De Niro’s character gives advice to a rookie played by Jason Orley. The rookie is nervous because he may have to deliver an order to rapper Jay-Z. The rookie asks over the phone, “Who-who?” and hears in response, “Jay Z,” to which he replies that he’s never heard of him. Only when told “Beyoncé’s husband” does he say, “Oh, I know her.” This episode likely reflects the strained relationship between Robert De Niro and Jay-Z since 2012.
- Before offering the role of Ben Whitaker to Robert De Niro, Nancy Meyers offered it to Jack Nicholson.
- Linda Lavin and Celia Weston do not share any scenes together in the film. Both actresses starred in the sitcom 'Alice,' which aired on the American CBS television network from 1976 to 1985.
- This is the third collaboration between Robert De Niro and Rene Russo. They previously appeared together in Tom Dey's action comedy 'Analyze This' (2002) and Des McAnuff's adventure comedy 'The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle' (2000).

- In one of the film's scenes, Robert De Niro's character gives advice to a rookie played by Jason Orley. The rookie is nervous because he may have to deliver an order to rapper Jay-Z. The rookie asks over the phone, "Who?", hears "Jay-Z" in response, and declares that he's never heard of him. It is only upon hearing the words "Beyoncé's husband" that he says, "Yes, I know her."
