Robert De Niro stars as retired 70-year-old widower Ben Whittaker, who has tried in his advanced age to keep himself busy -- travel, cooking, yoga, tai chi, learning Mandarin, and, alas, funerals -- none of it really feels substantial enough to stoke the fire of his lust for life. After seeing a flyer advertising a call for senior applicants, what he really feels he needs is to go to work again, applying for an internship with "About the Fit", a booming Brooklyn-based start-up catering to the latest fashions online, and they just so happen to be looking for people like Ben to bolster their business portfolio ("grey is the new green" is the mantra for reasons that are never explained or explored). The 18-month-old company is the brainchild of a local thirty-something entrepreneur named Jules Ostin, a workaholic who has poured so much blood, sweat and tears into making her business a success, she scarcely has time to keep her home life afloat. Former executive Ben is immediately assigned to be her personal assistant, one she thinks she doesn't need, but his nose for business and maturity soon become the things she didn't know she, or her company, needed.
