Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

“People hate people, times have changed,” barks John Goodman’s salesman in the only half-decent line in this desperate comedy, which reunites “dream team” Owen Wilson (looking ineffably sad) and Vince Vaughn (looking shattered) as two fast-talking, on-their-uppers salesmen who blag their way on to an internship with Google.

Besides the endless, dismal promotion of the search engine, this is a tired exercise, in which Will Ferrell cameos as a lewd mattress salesman and Rose Byrne tries her very best as an uptight workaholic.

Wilson, after his adroit turn in Midnight in Paris, really doesn’t need to do this nonsense any more.
